i know im probley going to take a lot of rap for not reasearching this topic but i stumbled upon a guy whose selling a hatch with an h22 swap for 3 gs. now he says that it runs really good, but second stage vtech is not kicking in. anyone no why this would be happening, and is it an easy fix or a real pain in the ***
again sorry for not reasearching but i ive seen h22 swaps in hatchs going for like 6k and if this is an easy fix, then this is a steal

thanks</TD></TR></TABLE>what did the valve cover say?

 

I hate to beat a dead horse but,

VTEC, not VTECH

 

i am lookin for pics of the swap done in a eg i am doing it soon and any pics would help me out my aim is bluhatch95 hit me there plz

 

well the valve cover says dohc vtec, i dont own the car im just saying what the guy told me my knowledge of imports is not all that great, i didn no there was more stages to vtec, and sorri bout the typo on vtec i was in a rush and wasent paying attention and as far as the engine year i really dont know, i can ask tho

 

askd the guy if he new what was wrong with it or sumn and he said that the p13 ecu has to hook up to 5 different sensors for the second stage to work and thats why hes onli selling it for 3gs

 

He probably doesn't have the sensors if he hasn't hooked them up. They will be expensive to get, but wont cost you $3k.

 

damn 6 grand for a h22 swap eg...i wouldnt pay no more that 3500 hahaha

 

lol no joke what are you talking about 2nd stage vtec kicking in i'm not sure there stages to vtec. sounds honestly liek they guy may not knw what he's talkign about

 

for the H22, there is vtec, and there are the IAB's (secondary butterflies in the intake manifold). He's probably talking about the IAB's, which are wide open when left unhooked. H22's do not have 2 stages of vtec.

I agree, I have heard people describe their IABs as a second vtec not knowing they had iabs and that's what they feel like.

the only staged vtec system i know of is on the JDM D15B 3 stage vtec system, for gas mileage purposes. Here are some links explaining it:
http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/
http://www.leecao.com/honda/vtec/3stagevtec.html
But i am postive the h22 only has one vtec engagement point and secondary butterflies that open in the i/m. So you will be without secondarys, so just get a skunk 2 intake manifold or something and a chipped p13 to do away with the secondarys.

good info

 

yea i think he mean s to hook up the iabs and knock sensor and al theat other crap.

the same 5 wires you have to switch when you do the swap

 

thanks for all the responses. not having the sensors hookd up, would it hurt the engine to drive it daily? and would it pass va state inspection?
