are all VTEC solenoids the same? The reason is, my swap is up and running, FINALLY, but when assembling the motor the VTEC solenoid from the GSR head (OBD2) had a different connector than the one of my d15z1 (VX) motor. so i had 2 choices. Use the GSR solenoid and solder in the VX connector, or just pop the VX solenoid on there. I chose the last one. The VX solenoid is much smaller though. Will it work just the same?

 

bump for something i need to know...

 

anyone?

 

i dont know.. i know some mounting holes are different from some cars to others.. however.. it should work the same... i dont see why it wouldnt work the same...

u said u put it on there already? how is it? any difference?

 

It bolts right up, but the actual SIZE of the solenoid is different. the one off the vx is smaller.

 

?

 

all b-series are the same
all d-series are the same
all h-series are the same

But they're different from each other SLIGHTLY...only the size of the vtec solenoid if i'm not mistaken

 

so will it work or do i have more soldering to do? (forgive me, i dont quite understand hoq a solenoid works)

 

Well, you can either solder the gsr solenoid to whatever harness you're using right now, or just use the old solenoid on the gsr head

 

im using the old solenoid on the GSR head but im not far enough into my break in to even think about revving high enough to engage VTEC. thanks..
