Might be an extremely weetoddid question but what the heck is TTIWWOP lol

 

this thread is worthless without pictures

 

I've never see different size vtec solenoids before. Neither D or B or H.

 

one may be a d series solenoid and the other is a regular b series.
d series smaller and the b series bigger.

 

JDM vtec solenoid? haha oh god lemme find it its just a regular solenoid with that colorful ricer cap they sell for them lol

 

no its not jdm obd0 b16 came with the bigger solenoid. it pops vtaK Mad HaRdER yO

Correct, i think it uses a different gasket too (91 nsx if i remember correct)

no thats incorrect. it is the same cylinder head therefore the gasket is the same. i owned both

 

I always thought the actual solenoid is the same 3 both pattern for all of the engines. The whole assembly with the oil pressure sensor is different.

 

it cant be. the bolt holes are the same

 

it can use a nsx gasket. went to get a gasket for my obd0 b-16 back in the day and the guy i knew there said that the nsx's fit better.

Though so

 

i heard the same about the gasket

 

i just tryed to replace mine with a obd1 gaskey and it was to thin..... the gaskets for the soilenoid is def different but the spool valves are the same

Guess im not incorrect

 

So wtf is the deal?

 

i havent seen a nsx one so ill have to ask my buddy at parts to check it out......

 

I can vouch for 1st gen B16A (obd)) being a larger solinoid than other gens. I have both a 1st b16 and a 2000 model B18C5, and they are in fact different sizes.
They are interchangable though as they both bolt up to the same casting head.

Here a couple crappy shots of the 1st gen B16 one, its just a little fatter than the new ones

 

pics will be up soon ill show u guys what im talkin about. i look at the heads to to see what they are stamped. pics up in 20 min

 

i know for a fact that the Vtec solenoid gasket from obd will not work with obdI, the obd0 is thinner, but the place it sits in is also thin, the obdI is fat two fat, and also the corners are different, there is a thread about the differences. And yea you can use the NSX one but only on the obd jdm, you can try to track down a civic one, but yo its the same ****, the nsx doesnt have a better one the same one. if you expletive up and put the fatter one it will rip and youll loose all of your oil through you vtec solenoid, trust me it has happened

 

all i kno is the fatter one comes on the jdm engines... my buddy has a gsr and he noticed the diff one day and was surprised they were diff.

 

This is the size of a real JDM solenoid, same size as the NSX
