Rywire.....3 stage VTEC wiring
Have a fully installed D15B 3 stage VTEC installed in my 91 CRX SI......really clean looking install since I had Rywire do a custom converison harness and a well known
local honda builder installed it.
My installer has given up getting all the wiring connections correct and I am left
with engine error codes..........currently a code 14......
An issue with this install has been that the D15B engine was from a CVT(auto) tranny
and I am mating it up to a 5 sp tranny with the correct manual tranny 3 stage Vtec
ECU (P2J-003).
Need a wiring diagram for the asian 3 stage VTEC, manual tranny and so far the
Temple of VTEC's Mr Wong is the man I'm trying to reach on this.
But really need a Honda wiring Guru here in the SoCal that can make this 3 stage
VTEC come alive with all the right connections.
This project is almost a year and half long but it will get done........

you have a code for the iacv because of the ecu... you have a 3 wire iacv on the engine, and the manual ecu that you are now using looks for a 2 wire... Mixing and matching can cause issues as seen here.
What issues are you having besides that?

That 3 stage vtec is a waste of time, you'd be better off running a p28 with a normal 02 sensor and ending that entire headache.
ps The thoughts expressed are those of me and me only. I've seen your car personally but I did not work on it.

Its my understanding I have all the right parts for the 3 stage Vtec conversion.
I hunted for months for the 3 stage VTEC D15B and many months more for the
manual 3 stage VTEC ECU P2J-003.
I have confidence in Ryan having built the ODB0-ODB2B conversion harness correctly for this 3 stage Vtec hookup......
The engine install looks very clean to me like the engine was born there........
I loved my REX when it was pretty much stock and adding almost 25% more hp and
having VTEC-E that can give me over 50MPG under 3800 rpm is worth the wait.....
Once I find the right VTEC mechanic locally to trick this ECU about the manual tranny
I'll finish the total restoration of my REX............

I just think personallly that if it was worth it honda would have put it in more cars considering the new civics dont have 3 stage vtec or get that kind of mileage. Good luck to you though. Having a car that doesnt rev past 3k sucks and I wouldnt wish that on anybody.
Put a usdm ecu in for troubleshooting, I dont want to rule out that Malaysia has a different dizzy pinout. Ive seen crazy'er things.... I once got a harness from Malaysia that was a ef chassis with cvt tranny
The D15B is completely installed with the correct manual ECU, P2J-003 with a custom
conversion harness. obdo-obd2....
Just down to troubleshooting the Error code.......so I have been looking for a VTEC
tuner in my area to do that...... looks like I have the fix for the Code 14, just convert to the 2 wire IACV and change the ECU connection.
I bought the engine from HMOTORONLINE.......I was just lucky they had one in stock, the only one.....as you know the 3 Stage VTEC D15B can be hard to find........but the
hardest to find is the ECU......I needed the ecu for a manual tranny, P2J-003.
Again I got lucky........after 6 months of looking........and found a Malaysian
Ebay parts man and picked it up for $235. He is jdmpro_krs on ebay.
The custom wire harness was from Rywire.
I recommend all these guys!!!!
There are several issues with this swap so do some serious looking around and always be patient.......
