I'm not very familiar with the EF's at all , my buddy bought this car EF Si and someone threw a D16Z6 in there. They're not running the vtec at all, it has the stock computer and the car is turbo. My question is if I get the OBD0 to OBD1 conversion will that make a difference or should I leave it like that.


I searched on here, there are no good answers. Who are EF gods on here, I have some ?'s.

Can you use a Vtec controller with even though the car is not wired for VTEC?

<U>IF YOU GUYS GIVE ME LINKS, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GOOD 1's</U>

 

http://www.boomslang.us obd0-obd1 conversion with vtec.
case close.

 

You can use a Vtec controller without being OBD1. You can also use a RPM Activated switch to engage vtec.. Most people will tell you to go OBD1 and run vtec the way it should be run with a vtec ecu. But for the price you buy a vtec controller 20-40$ more will get you the OBD0-OBD1 w/ Vtec conversion harness.

 

I was thinking of heading with the conversion, but I hate wiring. Thats why I only worked on EG's and EK's, I love simplicity, THANK YOU BABY JESUS.

 

I think boomslang harnesses are plug and play for the most part.

I just finished the z6 mini-me swap and I did the obd0-obd1 conversion. I have the obd1 dizzy and a p28. I almost did no wiring. I had to solder fives wires. That was wires for the 4wire o2 sensor, the wire on the vtec solenoid. I then ran two wires to an old toggle switch on the dash I has for fogs. The toggle switch is supposed to allowed the check engine light to flash the ecu codes when a code is thrown. I also had to wire the vtec oil pressure switch (one to harness and one to ground). So overall, I had to deal with eight wires... Get the conversion harness for the ecu. I had absolutely NO WIRING for the distributor. I bought from phearable.net. Got the dizzy harness and ecu harness. Comes with instructions for wiring. Quite simple.

 

Thanks for the advice, i'll check it out later on.

 

you should see if you can find a cheap b series and do a swap and will be a heck of a lot easier on you haha but GL Bro

huh? how is that easier?

 

kinda joking cuz i dont like d series plus i love doing swaps so idk, but i would say to obd1 would make a difference
