Default B16 Swap Question

I have a 1994 honda del sol S that came with a D15b7 non-vtec. The guy before me swapped in a D16y8 but the vtec doesn't work because there is nothing plugged into my vtec solinoid. I was just wondering if i swap in a B16 in it, do i need to get a new wiring harness so my vtec will work? Any help or advice would be great. Here is the link to where im going to get the swap from: http://hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000...age&item=30005

You dont need another harness BUT you will need to pin the vtec wires into the ECU

^ +1, but if your going to fork out the money for a B16 you might as well save up a little more and get a B18C1, the difference between 1.6 and 1.8 is significant trust me.

Yes, pin A4 is Vtec solenoid and pin D6 is Vtec pressure switch if the engine has one.
