has anyone done a swap out from 97 2.2 sohc to a h22a? whats involved (trans, axles, ecu, wiring???)

 

a handful of people have done it, and there are plenty more that are going to do it.

 

I will do it soon maybe in may but Don't know what do i need

here is the swap guide, good luck to both of you

 

Are you freaking kidding me!?

Oh, and the swap guide has been taken down cuz the author didn't want it shared.

 

Well, I already shared it to my computer HD. lol

 

Good 4 u

 

Thanks.

 

that author can go suck a fuck, we need that to give to clueless NOOB's.

 

If someone wants it email me and I can hook ya up, as long as that is ok with the mods here I guess.

 

i remember when i made a thread and was giving it out...the owner of it pmed me and told me to take it down or else he was gonna get the lawyers involved..

 

The owner supposedly contacted a member on here that d/l'd it from me but I never heard anything, either way, I took it down

 

Take it, change a few words and call it good... j/k....

So can we sue wiki for taking our guide?

 

Yeah man let's do it!

 

Does someone still have the guide? I have a '97 2.2 and I'd like to hook it up with some pwr ;-)

 

basically the thing bolts right in, all you need is the Prelude driver's side motor mount, thats about it, if you get a OBDII H22A, youre OK, but if youve got an OBD!, then you need a jumper harness, either way you need the H22 ECU, but you can keep your F22 tranny if you really want to

 

Sweet, thanks man. Would the F20B DOHC T2T4 tranny mate up as well? Which is better, obd1 or 2?

 

Also, what years were obd1? And what concerns would I have in using a JDM set-up as opposed to a USDM?

 

the JDM setup runs interal coil distributer, doesnt use a crank angle sensor and doesnt have an EGR. but of u plan on going obd 1, it wont matter much. oh and if u use a full prelude engine harness you will save a lot of headache.

 

Ok, so I would need an obd1 jdm h22a, along with a '92-'96 usdm prelude wiring harness and drivers side motor mount? What year and model jdm cars came with the obd1 h22a? Also, will I be able to keep my ps and ac? And what ecu is best to use with a set-up like this?

 

use the origanall wireing harness i got the hole thing down pat .

 

Thats what I wanted to hear. Is your car a '97 2.2 5spd? Which swap did you do?

 

the best UCU to use if going obd 1 is the P72 with H22a basemap, setup wo/ EGR. rywire.com can help u set that up. U can also use the P28 setup the same way but u loose ur secondary butterfly controls.(i bypassed that by keeping them open all time) The cheapest way to go is the p13 (stock h22 5speed ecu) but u might throw CEL all the time.

I kept my PS by using the 97-01 prelude power steering bracket, and get custom sized belts.

 

my car is a 98. and i can tell you what wire goes where on the cl basicaly everything.

 

how did u wire your distributor?

 

yea thats what im concerned about when i eventually do the swap this summer. but i have a 97.

 

well its not that hard if your going obd1. u need to get the Pinout diagram for a p28 ecu and i can help u do the rest.

 

how did i wire my distributor? i just pulled the wires that goes to the crankangle pulled them thru the wirelume and attached them to distributor.
