Ok well today I took my eg out for the first time since the new motor was put in. I decided to get on it, its really quick but you can tell the vtec isn't engaging, i even tried slowly accelerating from 1st and i could tell it doesn't work. I have a cel on but its for the CKP and its an obd2 swap into my obd1 eg. i am using a p28 ecu, its using a b16 chip right now. Any thoughts of why it isn''t working?

 

Did you convert the dizzy correctly? P73 base map?

 

Yeah I did, and it is using the b16a chip. I have a chip from phearble on the way with the p73 basemap.

 

Something is loose or bad ground in your dizzy. Check your connections.

 

Well i took it off, and checked it a few times, i re soldered everything to make sure it was good and connected. I have no idea what else it could be, I took a multimeter to it and there was no current running to the vtec solenoid.

 

So you got the CKP code fix? Try a new dizzy. Clean the solenoid and/or try your old one from your B16. Are you using the solenoid from the JDM ITR?

Edit: You will need a USDM VTEC solenoid with the pressure switch not unless you disable it from the ECU.

 

Nah i have no idea how to fix that. I checked the wiring and everything though, i made sure i converted the dizzy right and everything. That light will not go away though...

 

Just try a new DIZZY!!! Are you throwing a code for VTEC/VPS? You mentioned of no voltage to VTEC.

 

Well i can't just find one randomly, I don't have any way of just getting one, unless a friend of mine let me borrow theres. But i doubt they will. But I am not throwing a code for the vtec, ill check again to make sure though.

This what you did?

 

Have you verified your vtec wiring you added? (assuming you dont have an SI) Lets hope its got a good ground, and its pin'd correctly

 

yeah i just went back through that and it matches it like it should.

 

It had a b16a in it before, it is an eg6. and RHD so it came wired for vtec, so i wouldn't have to wire it for vtec.

 

have u tried going thru the rpm band nd using a meter to figure out if the solenoid is getting the trigger its supposed to in order to engage ?

 

I have never done this but I have heard of testing the solenoid by running a power wire to manually test the functionality. again never done it....I just have extra solenoids to test thank goodness.

 

Are you using the solenoid from the JDM ITR?

 

yeah, is it cause it doesn't have a pressure sensor? cause i was wondering why i had an extra plug. I think my b16 had the pressure sensor on it.

 

If it's unplugged, it's green. Does it throw a code? And your CKP, check your wires to ECU.

 

Well it has green wires, but yes it's unplugged, there is no place for it. I will check those as well.

 

UPDATE: Fixed it, for some reason the harness had the pressure sensor wires backwards, the green was on the ground wire, and the black was on the blue wire. So i wired up the black to the solenoid and grounded the green wire. Went out and drove it, Vtec hits hard. No more CEL either. Thanks for the help.

 

Wow. Just wow. Post a video. I want to see how it pulls. What tranny do you have?

 

Yeah i know... i will I'm waiting for my friend to get up so we can make one. And its a y21 trans, but it has s80 with LSD gearing i believe. It was on my b16 at first, then i just stuck it on the b18c cause i didn't wanna buy another trans when i already have one with a lsd.

Thats a quick video I made this morning.

 

Glad it's running great.
