ok, i want to know what the car started out as. i bought the car 9 months ago, last weekend i discovered that it is sohc vtec d16z6, it has non-vtec value cover, P08 ECU not chiped i took the cover off, can not see anything, my dash read 6500 redline, i thought that sohc vtec read 7000.
So was my car non-vtec then someone changed the engine?
Or is my car vtec and someone changed the value cover, ECU, and gauges?
my engine harness look complet vtec wires look stock. i don't know how i would tell what the car had to begin with, i'm going to get the right ecu get the vtec working, i just wonder what happened

 

i think that some one just put a 93 d16z6 because that valve cover does not say vtec. but the computer is supposed to be a p28. a 6500 redline is from a del sol s maybe this link will help you http://www.teamdelsol.com/technical/faq/

check your vin # after its says JHM if it says
EG1 = s
EH6 = si
EG2 = vtec

 

what year is your sol ?

 

I think personaly you got freakin screwed

how so ? what if he bought the car for 10 bucks ?

 

Maybe look at your vin???

 

Not all SOHC VTEC had valve covers that say VTEC on them fyi. Maybe someone just changed out the Gauge cluster.

 

The wires for "vtec" are already in the cars sub harness. Do you have any pics of the enine bay?

 

my car is a 93, i only paid 2000 so i dont think i got screwed, what would i look for in my vin number? i can look at my vin but is still dont know how to ID, the wires from the vtec silnode to the ECU the wires or in the sub harness,is a P08 ECU a non-vtec del sol ECU?

 

i checked my vin it is an SI, #JHMEH6 is it stock vtec with the wrong ECU and gauges?

i think someone changed the cluster n if u have rear disk brakes ur car is an SI model

 

That sucks, you have a Z6 but not really able to take advantage of it. Get your ecu chiped or get a stock p28 bro

 

93 Si didn't come with a valve cover that says VTEC.

Even the del Sol S has a 7k redline. Check the engine and look at the engine stamp on the block. to the left of the header, right by the transmission.

 

i have a d16y8 in my ej8 and the valve cover just says honda
it wouldnt say vtec

P08 is a jdm d15b vtec ecu. A vtec ecu on a non vtec equipped car should throw cel 22 and rev limit at the vtec crossover point (5500 on the p08) - this is all from my experience with trying this, by the way.

My 97 si had rear disks.

 

my car has rear disks, the number on my block is d16z6

 

It's an Si then with an S cluster probably.

 

and the wrong ecu?

 

Yep, wrong ecu.
