i d0nt kn0 ha0w t0 h00k it up.but i d0 kn0 that vtec being h00ked up by a switch is bad f0r the m0t0r.because the vtec has t0 d0 with the fuel curvetiming and 0ther things.i 0nly read ab0ut it but never did it.

vtec with a switch? Why would you ever wanna do that? Vtec engages and disengages when it does for a purpose. When disengaged its on the low cam profile for more torque. When on the high cam profile its for hp/top end. Flip it on to low and you'll take off like a sloth. Flip it too late and your cars and cars behind....If you want adjustable vtec and not the hassle of flippin a switch......just get a vafc...you can set it where ever you like between 3k-7k and not have to worry about flippin a switch.

the thought going thru the OP's head when he asked this:

"mayne it wood be hellza dope if i could wire my VTECH switch so it wood work like NOS"


bad idea.

sooo, no.
nobody will teach you how.

you wanna fuck your motor up? learn how to do it yourself.

Hook it up properly. There's no need to have it hooked to a switch. VTEC is not like a turbo boost. It's a shift in camshaft lobes, and it is made to work properly with the ECU's fuel map. Unless you think you're smarter and faster than your car's computer, do it the way it was meant to be done.

ok thanks to everyone .... a friend told me that would connect the vtec from the computer of the car but I have no idea how to do it .. if someone could tell me with photos or send me the manual on how to connect from the computer ... my car was automatic but I did it manually ... I hope someone could help me with this thanks

"my car was automatic but I did it manually"? What does that mean?

There is a detailed walkthrough on the H22 swap in the "Swaps" section of this site. You might want to check it out.

[chrischhorn]

because of the 1st question i must ask first........what ecu are you using? With the incorrect ecu, you cant run vtec at all. You need either a p13 ecu or a chipped p28 to run vtec. The chipped p28 needs to have a basemap on the chip for the h22. If your good up to that point......

This thread will tell you everything you need to know about wiring it up correctly and everything else required to wire up for the swap.

there is no "manual". its not a Honda approved swap.

why the hell do folks attempt a motor swap when the first clue as to how to do it properly cant be found?

take it to a shop or do at least a little bit of research as to how modern engines run before you go and say;
"shit. if i can dump a 454 in my chevy why cant a H22 just drop right in my accord?"

seriously. take it to somebody who knows what they are doing before you destroy your car.
