If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: help with d16y8 please
You'd have to experiment a little with how to set it to keep the valvetrain in VTEC mode all the time (oil passage open). I'm pretty sure you can't just remove the valve and have it work but I've never tried it.
would they let you just wire it to a 12v source instead of the ECM?
Are you using the stock ECM? It will code (P1259) and it will limit RPM quite low if you eliminate the valve and pressure switch wiring.

Like mentioned earlier, run the Vtec solenoid right off the battery, just a single wire will keep it in vtec al the time, but you will cause problems at low RPM, as it is meant to only come on at the 'Right' time with correct throttle/Temp/air/Fuel/Oil Pressure.
