- Tue Aug 10, 2010 12:54 pm #208290 another question is: i got the wireing harness for the engine compartment, and the p28 ecu... do i need the 3 clip harness from the ecu into the eng compartment? if so, is there a site to order them? or.. do i just need to add a few wires in for the vtec?

my mechanic and i went to a junkyard and started pulling this out but stopped when we realized it was tied into a big bunch of wires that ran accross the whole dash...

what all will i need to successfully get vtec working properly?

Looking at the ECU pinout, you'll need to run the vtec solenoid to the A4 pin.

There are 2 wires on the Oil Pressure sensor.

The black wire is ground, orange goes to D6 on the ECU

Looking straight into the back of the sensor, the wire in the bottom of the pic will run to the D6 pin on the ecu, the top wire is just run to the chassis as a ground. Just be sure you have the sensor the right way when determining the D6 wire from the ground, hold it and compare the tabs on the outer edge to those in the pic. Use some connectors and heat shrink, do it right. If you can't get the harness clips to connect to the sensors, you can use a small butt connector and cover it with silicone as I did. I filled that back area of the sensor with silicone to make it weather proof.

Here is where you wish you had a 1992 hatch. All 92 hatches were pre-wired for vtec up to the passenger shock tower. Just look at the color of the wires for the A4 and D6 pins on the ecu and find them at the shock tower. Tap into them there and connect your sensors. Otherwise you will have to run the 2 wires through your firewall to your ECU.

- Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:30 pm #219967 upon further rewiew.. i have a 99 EX trans. not SI. is a d series. and thru talking to a service guy at a honda dealership i was told that oem halfshafts should be fine. and i think i found someone locally who will chip my p28 with neptune and tune and dyno it for $200. does that sound good/right?
