yes you can make them longer. just solder them. there should be 2 wires coming from the v tec solenoid.

if u need any help pm me. ill help. it took me like a month to figure out how to wire v tec so im a expert now that i actually learned how. also what ur gonna want to do is go to a junk yard and take a few plugs off that go to the ecu and then take the metal pins out of them cuz ur going to need them to plu into ur other plugs that go to ur ecu.

just let me know if you need help. ill look at my car if need be. add me on msn Tizzakowack@msn.com or nickbott05 on aim if u have either.

it took you a month to wire vtec???? i've got it done in ten minutes on a few seperate occasions.
the pin thing is a good idea but dont tell them thats what you are doing. they will wanna make you buy the whole harness. just say your are looking for something goofy like an interior part so you can go in. then just pocket them

you guys are so helpful. it took me a month to do my whole swap. once i did my research it took me no more than 45 minutes to wire it all.... the whole month i research how to do everything, v tec was the very last thing i did.

ask him pretty sure i explained it to him perfectly in about 5 minutes and gave him sites/pictures.

maybne i said it wrong but no need to be dicks, ********.
