Do you:

A) Just want it to turn on, If so hook up the red and yellow powers and the two grounds. (Wire colors might be wrong)

B) Want it to work but not effect car, Hook up everything exactly like how they say to, go to ETC, and I think initialization to reset the unit. Then go through all the setup steps but don't mess with fuel curves or anything. If you put your VTEC x-over point at where your factory one is and not mess with the throttle maps I believe you'll just be running the stock ECU, someone correct me if this is wrong.

okay, this is what you do...hook upo the ECU completely...set up the VAFC and leave it on stock settings...it's not that hard, and when you're ready to make modifications make adjustments to the VAFC....be sure to read the entire manual on it, and change it to a 4 CYL. http://www.apexi.com

why wouldnt you wanna hook everything up completly.....pointless. if you read the book entirely you will be able to install it with ease. i am a bit skeptical about wiring things and i got it finished in less than an hour. take your time and always double check the wires and the diagram before splicing.
