you'll have to add vtec solinoid, vtec oil pressure switch, knock sensor, and secondary o2

and if you have anythign under an si, you'll have to convert your car to MPFI... its a bit of a ****.

Good luck (y)

I have never done it but once you have been aroudn fuel system's and wirign diagrams liek I ahve the past 4 months you can understand more..it is pretty easy if you break it down

you need to add 2 more wires for the injectors (jsut find the pin outs' and connect wires with resistor box)

then add wires going from the vtec solinoid to the pin out in the ecu

it's pretty easy jsut running wires, I haven't done it before but I bet I coudl fairly easy

thanks brett... thats a little hard to read the writing... it says add 5,19 for vtec? that would be the solinoid?

an ideal situation would be like add wires to pin3 and 4 on b sort of instructions like that.

do i need to have 2 o2 sensors? or is that just reccomended? because my car only came with one

i was out looking at my engine and i don't think this should be too hard if i can find what wires go to what pins

Yeah, i have two o2 sensors, you can get a computer simulation for one if you need to... 5, 19 for the vtec soleniod seems right. Search the web for instructions on how to wire the motor, i found lots that give you step by step instructions (i don't have the links anymore)... If you can't find anything send me a pm and ill dig mine out and scan them for you.
