Hey, I just pulled my JDM ITR out of the front clip. I have a question I am unsure of. It's a '98 JDM ITR and I have a '99 Civic, so the OBD2's are different, therefore I am justing a jumper (OBD2b to OBD1 harness) and using a chipped P28 OBD1 ECU.

My Question is, the JDM ITR motor has a Vtec Solenoid but the hole where an oil pressure. Do I have to get a USDM Vtec Solenoid so it would have the hole for the oil pressure???

Please help!

 

Will this work? this is what i've found searching!

The way to use the JDM VTEC solenoid with a USDM ECU or any ECU that looks for a VTEC pressure switch is to run the wire from D6 (VTEC Pressure Switch) and tap it into A4 (VTEC Solenoid). This connects the pressure switch and VTEC solenoid together so it won't throw a CEL. I've used this on 2 different cars and it works like a charm.

jdm solenoid = jdm ecu
usdm solenoid = usdm ecu
but what you can do is hook up the usdm ecu and ground out the pressure switch to a ground on the ecu (pin points)
