Default vtec help

I just did an engine swap on my 1992 acura integra. I dropped a B16A2 engine in it. My prob. is that when it was put in, the vtec wasnt hooked up. I was hopiing that someone could tell me how to do it or tell me where i can find out. Thanx

Do you have the proper matching ECU for the engine?

That would be your first place to look. If it is a B16A2 it's OBDII, and your 92 is OBDI. You have to have the right ECU.

You might also have to run the wires for vtec...if when you installed the swap you didn't.
