Yes they're the only wires you need to add, there's 3 wires you need to run from your ECU to the engine if your car isn't wired

Sorry I forgot you had an S model... yeah I think there's a few more wires for those... when you'll get your Helm take a look in it it'll tell you what wires are NOT in your car so you'll have to add them

Really? I've never heard that before. I've been hearing that VTEC solenoid, oil pres., IAB, and knock sensor are the only required additions. I can't think of any wires that an H23 HAS that an f22 dosn't, so why would it be different? Also, for the VTEC pressure switch ground, do you just ground it to the chassis, or just splice to the ground for another sensor?

I didn't need to add IAB and Knock sensor since they were already on the H23, they're the few extra wires you'll need to hook up

For the VTEC switch ground just ground it on any ground, it was so cold when I wired mine that I just took a long enough wire and connected it to the ground in front of the battery it was the easiest place to connect it

Oh, I see. . .just a little misunderstanding there. So, lemme see if I got this right:
Swapping an H22 into an h23-equipped car, you will need to add:
  • VTEC solenoid, (signal=Green/Yellow to ECU Pin A4 )
  • VTEC pressure (oil pressure), (signal=Lt blue to ECU Pin D6 )
  • VTEC pressure (oil pressure), (ground=Black/Red )
Swapping an H22 into an f22-equipped car, you will need to add:
  • The wires listed above AND. . .
  • Knock sensor, (signal=Red/Blue to ECU Pin D3)
  • IAB, (signal=Pink to ECU pin Pin A17 ), (power=Blk/Yellow to 12v+ switched power source (hot with key in "on" or "start")

Is this correct? Complete?
Of course, from what I'm hearing, you might get lucky and not have to do anything (?)

This should go in the FAQ. .

Maybe you never got into VTEC and never knew about it

This information is correct. However, I never wired in the IAB. Since it is basically removed when you add a CAI to your engine. I figured, why add it if I wasnt gonna use it. So I capped off the fitting that it (the vacuum line) plugs into on the intake manifold.

That was an excellent way of breaking it down red92s....

Yep everything seems correct but in the Helm there's also a wire to A19 which is for the Intake Control Solenoid Valve but since you don't have any of that on the F22 I don't think you need to worry about it. It's like the IAB system but for the intake resonator

The IAB is not the same thing than the Intake Control system, they are 2 separate systems, the IAB system is for the butterly valves in the Intake Manifold while the Intake Control system is for the butterfly valve in the intake resonator, which is the one you remove when you put a CAI

My Bad....I guess after having finished my swap over 2 years ago, my memory is not soooooo good. Thanks for the correction.

And yes my IAB is hooked up....its a ***** to hook up when the engine is in the car. I have fond memories of sqeezin my fat hand down to the area of the IAB plug in....hehehe. Damn that hurt hookin it up...

Cheers guys, I've just saved this page. I'm hoping to do the swap out before October time.

Can I ask did anyone change the dash instruments? Knowing Honda thats prob harder than the engine swapout

Why change it? It's more fun reving the engine 1K RPM in the redline it's more impressive for people who gets a ride with you though it can be a bit hard to know when to shift at first...
