Question *Need help w/ VAFC 1 wiring insallation for a y8 mini-me!*

ok I have a y8 vtec head and I plan on doing a mini-me swap with my stock 91 crx si and need to know if everything I got for it will work out right and how to install a VAFC ver. 1. I got all new gaskets, new water pump, new y8 distributor, timing belt (either y8 or z6 dont know), and a VAFC ver. 1. If there's anyone out there that has a wiring diagram or any installion ish for the VAFC and/or knows about installing a y8 head in a stock 91 crx si I would really appreciate if you could help me out. I've looked everywhere online and can't find anything. If there's anything im missing as far as the parts go let me know plz cuz I want this to work out right and have nothing screwed up. Thx!

DL the manual from the Apexi website. If not, just get yourself familiar with the ECU pins on your car. After that, just tap the AFC wires by nomenclature.....

What about wiring the y8 dizzy since it's got a different plug for it?

use everything on your motor now,you have to use your dizzy or get ready for a hell of a lot of wiring

heres what to do

take the vtec solenoid wire and extend it and run that to the ecu pin a4

screw a vafc its a waste unless your tuned imo

then for the oil pressure switch run the blue wire to pin d6 and ground the black wire
