#307261 Buddy of mine got a 95 dx coupe with a D15b swap in it. We noticed that he has vtec but not plugged, searched his entire harness for the 2 plugs and couldn't find em, looked at his Ecu and its a po6 iirc

Did they do a lazy swap and use a non vtec ecu? I wasn't sure if all honda ecu's could be tapped for vtec or if he would need a complete ecu swap ?

#307281 I believe the P06 ecu is from a DX, which does not have Vtec, the harness that came with the car would not have the wiring either.

You could possibly add vtec to the ecu, but I am not sure. depends on the motherboard. I have read about this somewhere. best would be to get a P28. you will only have to run a couple wires from the ECU to the vtec solenoid.

my $0.02

Like you said, they probably did the swaP and didn't feel like spending the extra coin on a p28.
