I just bought a vx hatch and had a couple questions on a swap. I decided I'm going to go with a c5 over the k series because of cost. My questions is, do I need a complete wire harness and completely remove the current one because the vx has no vtec? or just p73 ecu with the wiring harness on the engine and plug it into the current one in the car

SEARCH will be your friend through thick and thin and will be by your side for ANY question you might have.

THEN and ONLY THEN, are you allowed to post a new thread if you CAN'T find what you're looking for.

Thanks.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Read the new rules #14. This is your warning.

14. If the post is reported to a moderator, and you post in the thread you must give a reason.

The moderators have been getting an overwhelming number of reports with no reason other than it has been covered, and do not have time to search for threads to help the posters find what they need. If you report it as a “repost”, at least direct them down the right path. From now on "search *******" or anything of this sort without posting a link will get points docked immediately.</TD></TR></TABLE>

To the thread starter, VX has vtec and is pre-wired.
