5th gen Prelude auto to manual gearbox conversion

Yes, you both are right

I just take the old wiring of the auto gearbox to do the mod and just plug directly on the engine wiring.
For me it was easier to do like that, only one part of wiring modified, but the other options are also good

Hello everybody!


Still no pictures but they are coming soon , but i have another problem.
There's still no vtec at all, and an error code: 30.

The TCM was removed and the ECU was modded by myself , as explained on several forums ( RP13 removal, RP14 jumper).
The ECU was reseted and the error 30 still come back.

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks a lot!

Yeah that's a fun days work, well done. Interesting doing it on grass

TBH I would have taken the engine out and done it that way - much easier access to everything.

Wurlycorner, don't forget the sand , honestly i don't know how i do to work like that, in these awfull conditions, but i do it and it work, what else?

About taking out the engine, it is surely the best way, like that it is a thousand time easier to install the oem rigid pipe for the clutch command, but the problem was with the aircon pipes, and i tried to do the swap as fast as possible, because my friend want to go to Le Mans with it soon...

If somebody have any question or need some explanations, feel free to ask

Thread revival ALERT!!

Did he ever get VTEC working in this after? If so how?
I’m starting my research as I’m doing a manual conversion on my bb6 soon hopefully
