my vtec is not kicking in. i have been doing some research online, and using a msd rpm activated switch. i am also using the standard automotive relay that they ask for (with the 86, 30, 87 and 85 plugs). for some reason the vtec is not being engaged. can someone who has already did this swap successfully tell me what wires go where? thanks, matt

u get the pills that go with the msd box? to make it at a certain rpm? and then hooked the relay up correctly? and tested the wire with a tester while u rev it? should get a nice 12v signal...

i wired up the msd switch, put in the pills, and wired it up, according to online. i put the test light between the vtec solinoid and the wire going to it. i was just wondering if anyone knows how to wire up the solinoid and msd rpm switch, so i can use it as a reference, and see if i did it right.

so u hooked the light up but did it read? or what u didnt say... theres only 1 wire u need to hook up from the 1 plug has 1 wire wich is the 12v in for the activation and the other is a oil sensor crap...

i put the test light between the vtec solinoid and the wire coming off of the solinoid. i didnt get the summit racing vtec swtich because i had the msd one laying around, plus a bunch of spare pills. this thing is such a headache, i may end up getting a vtec controller

should hook up pretty much the same way just look at the diagram that came with ur msd and the diagram here and hook it up that way...

check the solenoid, use a jumper wire stright from the battery to the green yellow wire on the solenoid (its the only wire) you should hear a clicking noise. do it with the car off so you can hear better if you hear the click check you wire for the msd rpm activator

i too am rounding up a mini me project, and i was just wondering why you didnt choose to swap the harness and ecu and not worry about the rpm switches? Money?
