ok you have no idea what your talking about! atleast you stoped telling people to just use a switch to activate vtec!

it is easier to take the motor out to do it! IMO! I don't like working on something in the car. everything is easier to access out of the car. it is easier to hide the wiring when the motor is out. If you check honda tech you could find the prints that shows what wires need to be added, I can do it all day for obd0 and 1 but have never done it to a obd2 car. i would also recomend converting it to obd1.. HAVE FUN.

 

Everyone has their own opinion. It took me 1hour to change heads, 40 minutes to wire my shit up. If i took the motor out, it would have taken alot longer..

 

i have a y8 head forsale....let me know if you want to buy it..

this swap is easy shit

-get a y8 head ( i have one)
-get a y8 ecu, (if you convert to obd1, you can use a p28)
-wire vtechs into the harness ( a shop can do this for like $150)
-get a new timing belt/water pump/headgasket
-rent a torque wrench from advance auto
-buy a haynes manual for your car

BAM your done.

* note* if you convert to obd1, you will have to buy a obd2-obd1 conversion harness off the internet, or Fabrik8 ( search his name)

 

what is obd1 and obd2? i have no idea what that is

 

92-95 is obd1 96-2000 is obd2 its just some diff wiring if u go obd1 u need a ecu jumper harness and dizzy too

 

have fun doing this by yourself. i hope you have friends that know what the fuck their doing. if not i hope you do a lot of reading.

 

ive done the mini me w/ out taking the motor out. needless to say i wasnt happy about it... just tryn to save you some time and cash. the mini me realy isnt worth it at all... IMHO you would be better off just droping a b18 instead.

 

Yea i think its easyer to do it with the motor in it!!But it realy isnt worth it unless thats all u have right now or just trying it out!!Its real easy though i have done it in about 2-2 1/2 hours not including the machine shop wait!!

 

^^^ just wondering what did you have machined?
