Ok, so since Ive never looked at buildin a D series until now, Ive got a question about wiring on a Mini-me. This is all in a 1990 Civic BTW. Wouldnt I just need to run the wires for the VTEC solenoid, since the car already has a D15 in it? Or are there additional sensors on the D16?

you will have to wire the vtec solonoid, but you will also need a vtec ecu to trigger the vtec solonoid
 
Ya, should be 1 wire for the VTEC solenoid valve (this activates the VTEC) and another wire for the Valve Timing Oil Pressure switch (this tells the ECU that oil pressure in the head is high enough for VTEC to be safely actived). VTEC is decided by RPM but the ECU also references road speed, oil pressure and coolant temperature.

Is the car mpfi or dpfi? If it's mpfi, then all you need to do is wire vtec and possibly for a 4 wire o2. If it's dpfi, then you gotta do the conversion as well.

edit: just realized this is months old. hope you figured it out already!

Thanks everyone.
 
or u could just buy my jdm h22a i have for sale full swap still in my running car with aem fuel rail 450 dsm injectors aem underdive pulley chipped p28 with 2 step and launch control check engine light come on as shift light at 8200 rpm swap comes complete with axels motor trans harness shifter shifter cables and of course ecu also has a stage 3 3puck clutch in it from act engine is still in my running car and runs consistant 13.7 in the quarter
