imcnblu's build thread (2012 UPDATES page 26)

Hmm.

Take a look at the wiring instructions from Rywire at this link:

http://www.rywire.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=4&products_id=18

I have it EXACTLY like it describes. Apparently A25 is the 12v switch source, and A17 listed in the instructions as being just “IAB Solenoid”.

Since I have it wired exactly how its stated in those instructions, what should I do with the wiring?
Undo the splice in the 12v wire at A25 and attach it to a ground, instead?

Perhaps, I’m a bit confused with it…

[QUOTE=imcnblu;2208954]lol. even though I’m mechanically inclined. Sometimes, wiring gets the better of me, lol.

Gonna see what I can work out with the IABs tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

I work in the industrial field and the “Mechanics” and “Electricians” are two totally different worlds haha :slight_smile: Good to hear you got vtak yo! Yea im mechanically inclined to but building nuclear/power plants and building my tegs is like night n day, LS n GSR, peas n carrots, and the infamous question VTEC or NON VTEC? haha PICS PICS PICS…

maybe the IAB doesn’t work?

if what unified said is correct i would try grounding the wire that goes to A17 and see what happens. or you can always buy a skunk2 manifold :slight_smile:

do you have 12V or ground in any of the two wires?

:corn:

no updates as of now. been quite busy. dropping the car off at the shop to have the Vibrant High Flow cat welded up and installed today. No more loud, rattling exhaust. The rattle wasn’t TOO bad. But, it was noticeable enough to be annoying, to me.

:up:

IABs are working :rockon:

there seems to be an issue with the wires from the VTEC subharness not wanting to stay in their places. as, I threw a code 22 again today (the wire for the pressure switch came out of its place in the ECU)

all but the knock sensor have popped out at least once. getting annoying. while I was messing with that, I looked at A17. wire wasn’t even snug. Was just kind of sitting there. plugged in. after I reset the ECU to clear the CEL for code 22 (pressure switch) I took it for a drive. when I went full throttle, 4400rpm, VTEC engages, at around 5700 (or so) my motor starts screaming at me as the IABs opened, and my B18C roared in all its glory for the first time since its swap :up: x1,482,101

sweet!

Pics and vids!!!

Word. Nothing like a full-power pull for the first time.

that weak. I have some OEM pigtails for those connectors, email me your address and ill stick them in an envelope.

congrats on figguring it out :up:

soon. I have 2 vids up (before IABs worked) check them out. new vids coming soon :up:

emailed :wink:

Cool, ill grab them next time I go to work on project “hellude”

Vibrant Hi-Flow cat installed today. Sounds so much better! Now, I can officially say that the swap is 100% complete :slight_smile: Nothing else NEEDS to be done with it. :rockon: No more bottle-neck from the stock cat.

just got those pigtails man, the’ll be at your door asap. if you want. try and find out what color those wires are and if i have that specific one. ill send it and that way you can still remain color coordinated. :slight_smile:

no worries on the color coding. :up: still got my addy?

I want cool-guy parts sent to me too!!

As you said, its a great feeling to know that your swap is finished and that the car actually RUNS and is driveable. Though there always seems to be something else needing attention. Lol… Just the name of the game, eh?

Forgive my horrible memory and lack of re-reading the thread, what exhaust system are you running again?

GReddy SP2. The piping of the system is a little smaller (1/8th of an inch) than the rest. But, its not that big of a deal to me. Sounds so mean, now.

^ where can I make one of those avatar things?

The SP2 looks great and I’m sure sounds as good as it looks… though I’ve never heard one in person.

Google “Pixel Car”. There are a few sites dedicated to them.

your in DA heaven, arnt you :cloud9:

you been sleeping in it ? haha
