so im doing a mini me swap and added the vtec wire oil presuure and did the 3wire to 2wire iacv. now on wiring it to the ecu i got the pinout diagrams from online.

i just have trouble taking the wires off the amps. any suggestions?
and when i run the wires to the ecu, what do i put on the ends to hold these wires in place?

pls help!

 

best thing to do is to de-pin the pins from the ecu plugs or find some extra ecu pin add them to the wire and plug it into the ecu plug

 

^^if i dont have any extra ecu pins, where could i find some?

 

bump, anyone?

 

best place is go to ur local junkyard and find a honda and cut off those plugs..otherwise u would have to unpin one pin that isnt being use and use that for vtec

 

...or go to radio shack and buy a bag of pins.

just shove the wires into the holes, poke them out a little and the force of the clip in the ecu will hold the wires in place.

 

junkyard. the ones in the dash for the cluster will work too. just cut 2-3 plug connectors and walk away, or pay for 'em...lol

 

It's 6 of one and a half dozen of another when it comes to wiring plugs. If you use Honda Plugs & Pins you have to screw around with a safety pin trying to release the wires that are in the wrong locations on the plug. You can spend a lotta time doing this & you also have tor run around to junkyards trying to get more pins for your various plugs. On the plus side, the plugs are very compact & small & also have the Factory look.
If you use Solderless Connectors, get the smallest connectors you can find that still fit the various wire sizes your'e dealing with. You have to cut off the honda plugs and go by wire colors instead of pin-out diagrams. You must use Shrink Tubing to cover the entire Non-insulated connectors. (NO metal showing or touching anything. If you buy insulated connectors you don't need shrink tubing, but the wire bundle will be larger with insulated connectors and I don't like them much.) Individual connectors & shrink tube can be bought anywhere. On the downside, you have to do All wires instead of just the additions & changes. Also on an ECU, the wire bundle can be larger than the factory plugs.
