The issue appears to be related to VTEC activation. Check the wiring for VTEC and grounding engine bay grounds as it may be grounding through the VTEC solenoid.

I grounded the crap out of the engine in three different spots. It still only does this when pwm is activated.

I don't see anything that goes from the battery or fuse box.

Battery is trunk located and ground is one of those same cables grounded to the body. Where is the fuse. Normally grounded ?

I would recommend that you try the ECU in a known working vehicle before doing anything else. I suspect a wiring issue in your vehicle is the cuase.
