Default VTEC solenoid and spool the same thing?

First off, I have a 96 GSR with a JDM swap and for some reason the previous owner removed, and capped, the VTEC OP switch location on the VTEC solenoid.

I called the dreaded Acura dealer because noone else can get the part and they want 290.00 for a part called a VTEC spool which they say is the solenoid and sensor alltogether... Is there any place I can get one cheaper without having to go through the dealer? Also, what is the part number for what Acura is trying to sell me?

NOTE: I need the entire assembly, solenoid and switch.


thanks guys, Cody

Check the classifieds here, check the classifieds on honda-tech.com, and check www.thepartstrader.com

It shouldn't be hard to find a VTEC solenoid and pressure switch.
