Where's my vtec oil pressure switch?

[Acclude1420]

I bought a 96' JDM H22A from hmo and am in the process of connecting my F22a1 harness to it when I noticed that the vtec oil pressure switch is missing and plugged with a bolt.

Before anybody gets too excited, no, this motor is NOT OBDII. Some of you may know that Japan continued manufacturing OBDI versions of this engine until mid-96' and that's what this is. I intend on running without it but I'm not sure how my P13 ECU will handle the fact that it's missing. I suspect I would have to hunt down a 96' P13 ecu or install a pressure switch if I dont want to get a cel. What are your thoughts??

If it's plugged you can run it without it. I was told you won't get a cel code. I actually took the bolt out and put in a oil presure sensor and wired it to my jdm p13 ecu just to be safe.

The JDM H22 didn't come with a VTEC pressure switch. It is the same setup on the OBD2 96-97 F22B1 VTEC Accords.

With your USDM P13 ECU you will have to do the pressure switch hack/bypass. Second option would be to get yourself a chipped OBD1 ECU and disable it in the tuning software. Third option would be to run a JDM P13 that does not require the VTPSW. Or a fourth option would be to go out and buy a VTPSW and wire it up.

you can bypass it by connecting the pressure sensor wire off ur ecu to the vtec solenoid wire(remember to solder). this is how i have mine done

Thanks man. I actually already have the JDM P13 ECU so one less sensor the wire up!
