The heavy work on the engine is done:
Tomorrow is wiring day. Is there any reason I can't clip one of the EGR wires at the computer and at the connector, run that to the VVT solenoid, then grab power from anywhere, and be done? This is the part where I need to learn about small electronics. Also, can I do the same with VICS?
Thanks for the help.

You can use other EGR wires and free ones back to the ECU for VICS. As to if the other VICS wire goes to 12v or ground I am not sure.

Any reason why not getting a Civic manifold and having Abe mate it to the 99 head flange? Might be a little cheaper, and even if it does not help it will give us concrete data about it. Hell if it does not work, I might buy it off you to try against my BEGI IM.

Some little aero mods are still on the table, but next year when I have more time. After this, I get to put MS2 in my track car, corner balance, align, then track the **** out of it and get ready for TTC in 2013.

I had a productive day. I started at 9am, swapped the rear end, cleaned and tightened up the PPF, removed the 01 alternator which I forgot and replaced it with the 94 alternator, added trans oil, gear oil, engine oil, water, discovered this engine had a turbo on it and picked-up a plug for the old turbo oil return in the pan, picked-up a new O2 bung plug, replaced all hoses aside from the lower rad hose, new belts, added the new SS clutch line, and I think that's it. Today was basically all the nit-pick mechanical stuff. Tomorrow I will get up early to start the wiring and probably drive it if my wire stuff is right. For now, I'm going to a bar.
Things left to do:
Bolt the wheels on
Bleed the clutch
Wire CKP, CMP, coils, VVT
Cut one wire at the computer, move it to the VVTuner

What is this "****" I've heard that VVTuner doesn't output a clean-enough signal for my Greco MS2+++? Now I'm paranoid and I don't care to pull this head off the car.
