Can you put a VTEC head on a d17a1?

yes it can be done, your stock harness does not support vtec, you will need to wire it in and find a way to control it.

What is the difference between d17a and D17A2?

The main difference between the two engines are the cylinder heads. The cylinder blocks are the same and will bolt up to the transmission. You can swap the engine out, but make sure that all of the sensors are reused on the swapped engine so the computer will recognize the engines operation.

Will a d17 transmission fit a d16 engine?

But yes, the d16 trans will bolt up to the d17 block.

How do I bypass a VTEC pressure switch?

This can be easily bypassed with a simple wiring trick: On your engine harness, locate the VTEC oil pressure switch plug/wire (this wire comes from OBD1 ECU pin D6). Use a common T-tap or other method and simply tap this into the VTEC solenoid valve wire (the VTEC solenoid wire comes from OBD1 ECU pin A4).

What cars can you put a VTEC engine in?

This system is used in the Accord, Civic, Civic Si and Type R, and the CR-V. The V-6 engines in the Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline have variable lift and timing for the intake valves, and VTEC works with cylinder deactivation to operate in a three-cylinder mode.

Does d17 have VTEC?

Both the D17A2, And the D17A6 are VTEC-E. The real diffrence in the 2 engines are the Cam profile, and the ECU.

Can you put an accord engine in a Civic?

5 Answers. Yes, this can be done. However, it is serious work and could cost a lot of money. I’m not sure what trim your Accord was, but the engine is in the F22A* series, which can be dropped into the Civic.

What does VTEC pressure switch do?

The variable valve timing oil pressure switch is a normally open switch located at the VVT solenoid. When the VTEC oil pressure switch closes, the voltage should drop to zero. This is how the PCM knows if oil pressure was applied to the VTEC system. When this system fails to operate properly the ECM may set a code.

How do you check if the VTEC is working?

The meter should read very very low voltage until vtec hits. If vtec activates then the voltage should read around 12. if not then your ecu may not be functioning properly.
