Default I Must Be Stupid!!! Please help. How to wire VTEC????

OK, I have read more threads than I can count about how to wire up VTEC, but it isn't making any sense. I am done w/ my D15B VTEC swap, except for hooking up my P28 & running VTEC wires. I found the correct pins on the ECU harness, and I know where the VTEC solenoid is, but where do the oil pressure wires go?

94 DX hatch w/ D15B VTEC.

PLEASE help, I'm retarded!!!!

vtec solenoid = green/yellow = A4
vtec oil pressure = blue/black = D6

for what it's worth the OPS is on the back of the block by the oil filter.
Or is that a different oil sensor? Either way, there's an oil pressure sensor back there.

Is it right above the filter? 1 wire? I feel like a freakin moron & I'm starting to get really pissed off at this project. The motor runs fine except for this. URGH!!

I know where the solenoid wire is on the car, but I cannot find a blue/black OPS anywhere. The only thing I see is above the oild filter, it's one wire & it's yellow. So I have no clue where the correct place is to wire that? I apparently need a ground & the OPS.....where?

so the green plug is supposed to screw in to that hole near the brass colored cylander correct? If so, I have a bolt there & nothing that would go in there. WTF? Please help a brotha out.....Is the green plug the VTEC solenoid, or is the brass cylander?

the brass cylinder is the actual VTEC solinoid. the green plug is where the wires go.

to answer your original questions... JDM VTEC does not use an Oil Pressure switch so you will not have the switch on your engine. wire the wire from the ECU to ground and your VTEC will work regardless of oil pressure.
the VTEC solinoid should be easy. one wire into the green plug below the VTEC solinoid.

so I just ground the wire that should be for the pressure switch, or should I run that wire to the same pin location as the solenoid? Thanks!!!
