It's easy enough to wire the VTEC yourself as it requires two wires to the ECU and a ground wire.



Concern yourself with A4 and D6.

Basically you can go to a salvage yard and cut plugs and ECU plugs/pins off of a salvage car to get plugs on the engine harness side to plug into the VTEC solenoid and VTEC pressure switch. You can then run wires from those plugs through the firewall and soldier pins from the salvage ECU plugs and then pin them into the appropriate ECU pin locations as seen in the first pic.

Also this shows how to remove pins from a salvage yard car's ECU plugs for you to use them in your car when you wire VTEC:
