I hear a lot of complaints about the vtec frog units as well. I know some people using the ARD harness on their civics with no problems.

I have a few questions since you have it already

1. the connectors that plug into the cars' ECU, if you look inside of them where the wires are inserted, are the conductors crimped down + the insulation? See the problem with the frog harness is that they only crimped down the conductor and not the insulation to go with that making for a weak connection

2. And I guess on the other end as I see in the pictures is the same scenario as other manufacturers. What happens is that since all those connectors are inserted in the plastic, but not reinforced, where the shrink tubing is, there is a big chance for wires to bend around and the connectors actually break off, leaving the pin in the connector.

dont know if I made myself clear enough but I tried. Your input is appreciated.

- I didn't get a chance to look at it..
- is the frog giving you problems, or are you just paranoid?
- I would leave the frog harness (if not giving problems) or if it is, just solder the wires... thats the 'best' connection anyways..

I've had two VTECFROG harnesses; one for a VAFC and another for the E-manage. I'm now talking to them about a special unit for a relocating an AEM ECU and other device.

I've had zero problems.

I've also had 2 VTECFROG harnesses and had pins break on 1 of them. (1 for the split sec/vortech timing controller, the other an e-manager harness) It doesn't help that I'm using both plugged into each other at the same time. Eventually, I'll remove 1 of them and make all the conections on 1 PnP harness.
