one wire vtec.

you can get a ps9 ecu and use the torque converter lockup signal for vtec or use a pm6 and use the ac relay for vtec.

yeah, but those ecus are hard to come by and are usually pretty expensive. a friend of mine had one, didnt know what it was, put it on ebay and was shocked at how much he got out of it lol

if i should do a d16 vtec i will.... if it is easier, i kinda want vtec if its worth it. im torn

d16 vtec?

dohc zc?

go buy any low mileage d16, si tranny and put a turbo on it turbo > vtec, vtec is overrated, you will spank just about every n/a b-series swap out there unless you run into one thats built which is rare...

I personally love the ZCs, and have spanked more than a few sohc vtecs with it back when it was stock. Out of experience i would highly recomend the zc, but either way you are getting about the same amount of power. so basically, either one you pick will give you what you want.

Wiring in VTEC seems easier then doing a ZC swap after watching what happened with your fo-do. Running two wires to a $55 controller vs. changing dizzy plugs and wiring in a crank angle sensor. Hmmm...

like i said, i have the harness that would plug right up,(since its already MPFI) so no extra wiring and it would be for less than $55.

If you have a harness, how come you didn't install it in the fo-do and sell it for more?

fodo = DPFI
harness was for the MPFI 8pin(?) round plug, which the fodo didnt have, otherwise i would have

*edit* i'm talking about the small harness that connects from the stock harness to connect a ZC dizzy and cam sensor on, not the entire harness. after rereading it i realized what you were saying.

Oh, OK. I forgot about that.
