Im swapping a vtec motor into my non vtec accord. Besides rewiring vtec, is there anything else electrical I have to do to make the swap successful?

I know stupid im sure but Please help, and yes I searched. Im not a noob

 

You will also need a VTEC ECU to go with that wiring as well.

Make/Model/Year would be an asset if you need any more info.

 

Its a 97 accord. We are putting in a 94 f22b1 and we have a vtec ECU. Need to know where to route the wire from the VTEC solenoid.

 

Are you down-converting the car to OBDI?

 

I dont care what anyone says but VTEC does make a difference and it is tight as **** to have it!!! specially when you hear it kick in!! ;-) thats heaven! ha But looks like ya got everything ya need.

 

Yeeaaahhh buddy, love that V-tech thats why were droppin it in the accord not to mention i got the v-tech for free and the car and tranny for 500

to a free SOHC VTEC can't beat Free.

The VTEC in the F22B1 isn't going to kick in like the DOHC VTEC does Yo! Just thought that you might like to know that. If your looking for that type of VTEC you may want to get a new cam for that B1.

 

Bump for VAGTEC why dont you girls drive stinkin muscle cars!

My Spyder is just a redneck gokart and there is nothing I could do to it that would make it as trustworthy as my Honda.

 

Well, i bumped because i started this thread and I'm trying to get it to remain at the top of the boards to help my friend with his swap.

 

your going to need to a obdll to obd1 harness from skunk2.

 

Well, this is convenient for me lol
I was thinking about doing a Frankenstein swap into my 97 Accord. Possibly a H23/F22b1 swap? Not sure yet though. Do you guys think it would be more profitibale to just buildthe head I have now (port, polish, etc..), do a b1 head swap, or just do the full franky swap? I can't decide.

 

If you don't wan to convert your car to OBD1 you can use all of the OBD2 sensors from your B2 on the 94 B1.


VTEC ECU pin locations

OBD1
VTEC SOL = A4
VTEC Pressure Switch = D6

OBD2
VTEC SOL = A8
OBD2 Accords don't have a VTEC pressure switch.

So now what OBD ECU do you have?
