021612 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 I thougt so...is it necessary to get a wire harness in the first place? I was told it is because the car doesn't have anywhere to connect the vtec, unless it was an ex or sumthn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97CIVICHATCHDX Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 IF YOU HAVE A VTEC HEAD WITH SOLNOID AND A VTEC ECU THEN IM PRETTY SURE YOU CAN WIRE THE SOLNOID TO THE ECU IS FROM WHAT I HEARD. IF YOU HAVE THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS THEN IT PROLLY BE EASIER THAT WAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

021612 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 i finally decided to get my p06 chipped, with p08 fuel maps, a few mods and got it v-tec ready... i started working on the timming and it was a success, it started bogging out a little whe reving to about 3.5rpm when stalled but im pretty sure its because my speedo is a little off: (after it runs it revs fine)... its throwing code 21 and my research told me its the v-tec, witchi havent connected yet... next week im doing the basic tune up + flushing out the motor and cooling system (water) any suggestions on anything i should check or replace? any advice on what to do next?
