I have a chipped P28 Ecu that alll so far....

(1) What do I need to hook Vtec up?

(2) Do I need a difference wire harness?

(3) I noticed the mount looks different do i need different mounts?

(4) How do I relocated my battery?

(5) How do I do a mid wire tuck just to clean the engine bay?
( I have my the engine bay is completely empty right now)


You will need to convert from 3 wire iacv - 2 wire iacv, add vtec solenoid, vtec pressure, (normally knock sensor as well, however p28 does not look for this) and rewire dizzy.
You can use your y7 harness, and modify it or
You can also use a 96-98 civic EX harness, which would have everything already done.
You will need to use the y7 mounts, as well as the mount that bolts to the engine on the driver side behind timing cover
Relocate battery, run power to where you want to go and ground it to chassis..
