A z6 mini-me for now. I can't remember what all he's done to it(a friend of mine here in town), but I know it's got 1.5l pistons and probably a y8 hg that bumps up the CR.
I eventually plan on throwing a small turbo on a single cam vtec motor for a daily driver. not particularly this motor, but he's selling it with a lot of stuff for real cheap, so i can't really pass it up. -Andrew |

If I remember right(check tomorrow evening after work), it's not something I can tak off of the a6 head and put onto the z6... i'll get pics tomorrow, but it's about 5in behind the alternator plugs. Thanks fellas -Andrew |

the grey plug with the green wire goes to the vtec, not sure about the other plugs, they dont look famillar to me. the plug on the back I think it for the fan switch.

The big long one(in back right) is the only wierd one I've found. I found a plug just like it on the sensors on the firewall behind the IM, (emissions crap), but what else would it be for??
I bought these harness' for wiring in Vtec. what vtec wire would need this?? On my Vtec selenoid, there is a green plug(broken... gotta find another one), where the grey one goes, and a green wire coming out of it. What plugs into that wire? anything? and the Red/orange wire from the vtec plug is just a ground right? I've been useing this famous picture to help me, but it's a little different, obviously, than a SOHC, as i don't have the knock and the secondary intake sensor.  Anything else I should know about wiring wise? -Andrew |

the green plug is for your vtec oil pressure switch. and the other wire coming out of the grey vtec plug does go to the ground
