It'll plug right in, but your going to have to do some wiring to hook up the vtec.

- Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:16 am #44085 do you have a manual for your car? Like Haynes? If so, then you can find out exactly what you need to wire by reading the wiring diagrams. They're complicated at first, but study them for an hour and it will start to make sense. Then all you need is a pinout diagram for a P28 and you'll know exactly where each of the 4 wires needs to go :thumb:

- Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:47 am #44091 as mentioned before, you need to convert to 4 wire o2 sensor for a P28 ecu

any OBD1 ecu will plug directly in to your obd1 harness - just plug the P28 in
