If I were to get all the parts, how much would some one charge to install? Cause frankly it seems to much cause people keep confusing me on the coolant lines and wiring with the Vtec

 

Read the FAQ, end the confusion, save your money and do it yourself.

 

its easy

 

i say read a lot and DIY

 

A shop would charge too much.

It really isn't that hard. I don't know what you mean by coolant lines; I didn't have to mess with any coolant lines. Wiring VTEC is cakewalk.

As stated, just read over a few write-ups, and you'll be fine.

 

ok cool ill try itlike in 2 week when i get all the money. Could i use the factory ECU or do i need a diffrent kind? WOuld a integra one work?

 

What ECU do you have now?

You use the correct ECU for your application. READ THE FAQ AND LEARN

Well... stock for what car? You haven't given us any details.

The Integra ECU will not help. Save your $25, as petty as it seems.

 

Well its a 93 civic coupe with a D15y7. Its just im having trouble with the head and I really dont want to spend alot of time on this head and then switch. So would it be a wise chouce to just go and switch heads and do the Vtec thing?

I assume you mean d15b7.

What's wrong with your head? If the cost to repair this problem is almost as much (or more) than doing a mini-me, then yes, you might as well do a head swap.

If you use a d16z6 or JDM obd1 d15b VTEC head, then use a p28 ECU.
If you use a d16y8 head, use a p2p ECU and get an obd1-obd2 conversion harness.

 

lol ok i dont know what head i got.. well what i mean is i dont know what year or head code.

 

is there a way to tell whjat head you goit from what car? like as in year of the car. And what is P28

There should be a casting number on the head to identify it.

A p28 is an obd1 ECU for a d16z6.

 

ok ill check and let you guys know.

 

If you bring the mechanic all the parts I'd say you're looking at a charge of 2-5 hours of labor, depending on the garage.

Big window, I know, it all depends on the garage really. Probably most would put you somewhere around 3-4 hours.

I would think it would be more like 4-5 hours. A timing belt and water pump replacement alone is normally quoted at 3 hours (around me at least).

 

WOW ok i got a quote of 60 bucks a hour. So all in all i would say close to 200 big coins right?

 

prolly well over 200... taking my head off with a guy who knows his **** it took an hour

 

Just bought a helmes book today and i gots to say...this replaced my **** collection and now this is the book of the god!
