Finally started ordering parts for the swap by 6MTUA5

Well here's a little video I made after watching Mike's. I've got a few more better ones on the way.

Yea the ECU is running in "limp mode" b/c it isn't getting signals from the automatic trans.


Here's some more vids that took forever to load last night...

 

-- go to about 1:25

Don't worry about all the other links to the videos. I've compiled them all into one here --

Sorry to keep bumping this, but....

Some more testing...

I will still have the harness to get the speedo working and everything. That also gets the redline where it should be. We can get the VTEC working with the custom harness, but it will need a bunch of different microcontrollers and crazy wiring for it to work. This way, we just get the speedo and instrument panel working right and control VTEC through EMANAGE. I will also get tunability with the EMANAGE.

Here's a quote explaining further...

Alright just checked with e-manage... I figured out how to force the car to go into v-tec and still have your speedo and everything else working without the need for microcontollers and so on. I'll be making another harness in a few with this harness (removing the controller)that chief had in there originally and test that on my car as well as Kris' (99MBPTL):  


Basically, here's how it goes... for e-manage, although you have the regular harnesses that run to it, you can actually manually engage vtec through wiring up the solonoid that controls the high-lift lobes to the emanage's subinjector harness. In this way, in the subinjector map (usually an option, not needed for our FI setups; only the "additional injection map" is used); the subinjector map's values would trigger the solenoid to lift the lobes and make vtec possible. Once this happens, the values from the additional injection map will compensate fuel for the sudden volume of air to avoid leaning out.
