To better explain the topic, I have a 92 Integra RS with a 1st gen jdm B16a w/ J1 tranny. I've been running my stock LS ecu for awhile and finally bought a p61 off of a fellow h-t member. I haven't gotten the ecu yet because i just bought it. Now for my question...I'm planning on running the vtec wires myself from the engine bay to the ecu. Can I buy wires from RadioShack to run them from the engine (vtec wiring) to the ecu? If so, what size or what specific type of wiring do i need? Thanks for the information in advance.

 

Do you need ecu pins/engine harness plugs? For the wire i'd use stranded 16 ga.

 

I think I may need ecu pins. Are they all the same? How much do they cost at the Honda/Acura dealer?

 

Unfortunately Honda/Acura doesn't sell the pins. Your best bet would be a junkyard. Plan B is ht classifieds.

If you get lucky at the junkyard

I know where some ecu pins are at my local junkyard. PM me if you want me to get them for you.

 

i had the same motor on my previous 4dr teg and i was running on LS ecu for a while....i dont remember the site/link on DIY vtec DA w/b16 but i got all my pins and wires from radioshack...

16awg is way too big... u dont need anything bigger than 20awg

 

thanks for the info I can get pins from Radioshack? The same ones that go into the ecu?

 

I don't think you can get the pins from Radioshack. There are ways of making it work w/ just the end of the wire jammed in the harness plug, but they don't work too well.

Get 22 or 24 gauge wire from Radioshack, I believe 24 is what I used. It is what you want to use. Just run the wires from the ecu to the engine compartment, and put some terminals on the wires to connect them to the solenoid/pressure sensor so that you can remove them easily.

 

yes they carries PINS IE for like Radio/cdplayer harness wiring PINS(same as ecu pins i think (i used it and it works) AT RADIOSHACK...

 

thanks

i dont think u can get the pins from radio shack either... uinless someone happen to fina some pics that happen to fit in the plug...

oh... and i hate to just keep saying what guage is wrong... but 24awg is to thin... id use 20awg... 22awg imo is too thin as well
