If you do not know what chipped means you probably shouldn't be messing with the wiring that goes to your ECU. He is talking about having the factory PROM chip removed and a custom burned PROM put in it's place.

Having a chipped ECU has nothing to do with a VTEC controller.

Lets see here the wiring is already mangled from previous owner. Ok I just need to know what to do about the oil pressure switch since I have obd0 ecu and it is non vtec ecu so i just need to know where that goes.

Your question is not clear. What are you trying to hook up the oil pressure sensor to? The VTEC contoller or the ECU?

OK I have a obd0 non vtec wiring harness. I have a y8 head nothing going to vtec solenoid and nothing goin to the oil pressure switch OK? I have the power the ground and rpm wired up. Now I have vtec in and out wires left to hook up from the controller. Now I am running pm6 computer. I just need to wire up the vtec oil pressure and the in and out wires. Thanks. That is clearer I think.

Well I figured out earlier that it doesnt work unless you use a vtec ecu. So I def waisted my money just gonna go the toggle switch way I guess.
