I am putting a 96 SOHC VTEC into an 89 CRX Si. I noticed that the VTEC solenoid has a single wire on a connector and a 2 pin sensor. I assume you feed the single wire with +12V to activate VTEC Is the other sensor for?
Also the 96 motor has a sensor at the cranks timing gear but the 89 does not is this sensor nessecary???
And last will the 96 clutch/pressure plate/flywheel work on the 89 Si tranny???
Thanks

Do you plan on using the stock wiring and using a non obd ecu?? the vtec solenoid needs to be wired to the right position in whatever ecu you use... The green sensor is the oil pressure switch youll connect that to the the ecu and the other wire to a ground. but since there is no sohc vtec non obd ecu what do you plan on using??
you could also use an msd rpm activated switch if you are not going to rewire the car.
That sensor i believe is the crank angle sensor. im pretty sure you can just swap out your distributor for a 92-95 p28 or youll have to wire it to whatever ecu you use....

Actually I am just swaping the long block. I will be using the SI wireing intake dist etc. I dont even care about VTEC yet I just want to run the correct wire for it to the ECU area for when I do hook it up. I will probably get a Zdyn ECU that is for this app.

The other plug in question goes to the VTEC pressure switch.

I am swapping sensors from the 89 to the 96 to be compatible with the 89 ECU The oil sensor fits but what about the water temp sensor? The 89 has a water temp sensor near the oil sensor(first pic). The 96 has what appears to be a block temp sensor near the oil sensor(sesond pic) and a water temp sensor in the flange that the radiator hose connects too (third pic). The 89 sensor will not fit into either hole on the 96 block. What do I do now??? is there a 92-95 sensor that may work.
