Does anyone know if a b16a2 and jdm b18c5 vtec sol are interchangable?

help?

 

they should all be interchangable

 

Solenoid itself is the same. If you need to change the housing the USDM and JDM housings are different for the VTEC parts. JDM does not have VTEC pressure switch like USDM. You can drill and tap the JDM housing but it is kinda a pain..

 

Sorry you are wrong. Both solenoid's are the same and they are compatable

 

wtf is vtesh???

Read my full post before telling me i am wrong I said solenoid is the same just housing is different. IE plate that mounts vtec solenoid and press. switch to the head... Didn't say solenoid was different just mount...

I dunno, but it conjures up thoughts of John Tesh hitting VTEC

Let me add to your mental image.. Mary Hart riding shotgun, playing with the radio and talking loudly in her Cosmo Kramer-seizure-inducing voice

..in an ITR, to keep it relevant..

 

ok i just threw up in my mouth please stop

 

i have a 00 Jdm Itr and the vtec solenoid has one green wire coming out of it but has been cut so i want to change it for one with plugs

so i can use one from say a gsr or b16?

 

You can tell them apart by size the JDM b-16 soleniod is huge compaired to any USDM solenoids

 

They are interchangable. You also have options for the wiring. All thats needed is the vtec solenoid wired up... the pressure switch (not on jdm setup) can be ignored. You can run a jumper between the 2 vtec wires at the ecu and it'll work perfectly fine. Or you can just swap the solenoid between the 2 bases.

 

ok i got a b16 one cheap so i can just swap out the top(solen) on the jdm base?

 

bump bump

I need mAd jDm type Er power on my hatchie

 

 

Please realize that there is a no bumping policy in the ITR forum (see stickies, etc.).
Good luck with your VTEC problems. Can this be locked now?
