Dang thats crazy. But for real I need to do something since my jdm doesnt have a pressure switch on the block and i cant run vtec more than a few times or it shuts off and I have to turn the car off then back on for vtec to work again.

Re: SkyWire Help?!

I built my engine not knowing that jdm motors dont have the connection for the pressure switch on its block and you cant put one on. So Ive been reading that people do this " skywire trick " where it tricks your ecu into thinking that the pressure switch says " oils warm run the vtec its all good ". Because right now the vtec will work a few times but without that pressure switch it throws code 22 when i hit vtec then wont allow vtec to kick in. So I was jw if anyone has done the skywire thing or what else is recommended.
