question on ecu and vtec

My VTEC D16Z6 swap has been done for quite a while now, and she runs strong as i thought it would. my question now is how do i get the vtec hooked up. i am definitely doin it the right way and getten the D16Z6 ECU cuz i still have the stock ecu in my 89 rex si. now i have seen d16z6 "chips" on ebay. i would still have to buy the z6 ecu tho right? btw, where can i get a z6 ecu to hook the vtec up? and how much?

ecu will run anywhere from $150+. the easiest way to hook it up is with a conversion harness. you plug your stock harness into 1 end and the other end into the z6 (p28) ecu. those are i believe $175-ish shipped.

gimmine a minute and i'll be back with a pic of the conversion harness.

you can always try wiring it yourself...i don't have any links handy. hoever, i'm sure somebody will be here shortly who does

the 8 taped wires you need to extend and run. i have a hard time remebering where they all go:
4 wires to o2 sensor
1 wire to vtec
1 wire to knock sensor
1 wire for check engine
1 wire i can never remember
------
8 wires

Im so confused! I still need to hook it up does anyone have any diagrams or good sites for this???

:thumbsup:

I thought that if you didnt have the right ecu for the right engine, it wouldnt work properly. it wouldnt adjust the right fuel and oil pressure in order to operate the vtec properly.

the ECU doesnt adjust oil pressure. it activates a solenoid.

If you chip your ECU, you can make a program that properly simulates any other ECU you want.

How would i go about doin this

OK, someone tell me if i am right. I want to get the Z6 ecu to activate the vtec, but in order to do that i will need to get like a universal wiring harness thingy, like Amy said? if so, where can i get one? and a cheap ecu?

ive seen stock ecu's on ebay. if your thinking of buying one of the "performance" chips off ebay just be careful. i bought one for my 95 civic and paid to have it put in and it didnt do diddly squat

So, the wiring harness too? or just ecu? god i need a site to go to with diagrams and info.....

hello? anyone?
