Okay so i have a 92 CX with a mini me swap and the solonoid isnt hooked up

and also i think i have the stock ECU

what do i need to get this lil beast running V T@k Yo!

(and any sugestions for future modification)

 

what ecu do you have?? If its stock get a p28 and wire in vtec and you got VT@K

 

it says P05 on it

 

Hello. Im new to this forum. If you want to save some money and know some soldering then you can go this $25 dollar way with your ECU. On Moates.net (http://www.moates.net/index.php?cPath=25_37) they have vtec convertion kits for ECU. You just buy the kit for $20 plus $5 for shipping and solder in the parts. They have to HOWTO on there site as well. I did this on my P06 ECU which is almost the same as the P05 ECU. I did the mini with a D16Y7 with D16Y8 head and it works perfectly. If you need help with the wiring I can find you some diagrams to hook up the wires to the ECU for the vtec solinoid and the vtec oil pressure sensor.

 

either get a p28 ecu or get a switch and hook one up to th battery and the other two to the switch and you got VT@K yo

 

hrmmmmm good ideas but how does this switch thingy work

 

for vtec you just have to have a power source. they call it a toggle switch you can get one at any parts store for like less then 5 bucks. but it really doesnt work you need the vtec ecu it pumps more fuel when you hit vtec

 

Yeah.. it deff doesnt work.. i tried to manualy engage vtec when i just put it in and when i turned it on about 5krpm the vtec kicked in and engine became a little louder but actualy slower and when i turned it off it pulled faster.. then i just bought that vtec convertion for 25$ and soldered in parts and vtec worked fine.. almost any 92-95 honda ecus are made for chipping and upgrading.. they even left you a spot just to put vtec in and outlined where you would chip it. Hondas great..

 

just get the p28 ecu

 

yeah for 120$ on ebay

 

dont buy a ecu off ebay. look on craigslist

 

i dont know.. i think the best place to look is at a junkyard.. at least its tangible before you pay for it.. and if it doesn't work just steal another one at night.. lol

 

lol lmao hahaha and some junk yards let you bring it back and get another one. it just depends on where you go. i personally wouldnt buy a ecu off ebay never know what your gonna get

 

hehe.. don't steal it i'm just messing.. your car wont start if you steal it.. haha.. just play nice with them and youll get what you want.. thats all i got to say..

 

yeah theres a few junk yards around here so i'll prolly just grab one from there for cheap since i know it will work since im pulling it out of the car and not much can happen to one unless u drive around with someone who has epilepsy and kicks the **** outta of when ur drivign

 

things can happen you never know. i got one from a junk yard and it didnt work. im pretty sure the ecu was fried

 

hrm i think i'll swing by the junkyard today just to look

but if i get one from there all i gotta do is connect the 2 wires correct

 

hybrid forum, and review the stickies!

 

hahah i love boxers im on my 4th one now. last 2 were pure white

 

white boxers are awesome, but i have my boy outside so much, to the beach, etc, that i'll probably always stick with fawn or brindle because the white ones are so fair and sunburn! they are cute though!

here, peep this thread and what's in it-

Hey... I sold my ECU on ebay... Came out of my 95 Del Sol. And it worked great! Not everyone on ebay sucks a$$
