Me and my buddies we thinking about changing my 97 2.2 cl to a 3.0 . We found a complete 3.0 engine with like 8,000 miles on it and we want to put it in my cl. Is it possible and is it worth all the time and $$$$$$ . Just wanted to ask around before i started on it. Get back to me.

 

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
:ghey:
h22>j30

will be proven once i race the bitch ass and win

 

No, check out the s/c or h22 thread, the mounts and engine bay for the engine and tranny are totally different. Where are you located? I'd be interested in the tranny if it's from a 97, if it's a 98 or 99 nevermind. Like supra said, h22 is the swap to do in your 2.2

 

whats a h22? i just got my cl like a month ago bu i'm interested in hooking it up. I'm open to any suggestions.

read the whole thread
the links in there are very helpful and will explain to you what the legendary h22 is

 

thanks man, i appreciate it.

 

I think i understand what it is now a little more but for someone who doesn't really know that much about engines, but wants to learn, thats just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. can anyone really explain it to me please? and how much does it cost? and where can i get one? thanks

 

a h22 is a prelude engine. people swap it because its like almost a direct fit into a 2.2's engine bay. like same mounts and everything. also i think it gives u 200hp. not sure.

 

TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!! now i get it. now does anyone know where i can get one and how much it cost to buy and put it on?

 

junkyard is your friend.

 

so if i do go to a junk yard look for a 2.2 1997 honda preluge h22 engine right?

 

check on eBay also.

 

and u're not limited to just a 97 prelude, just make sure u look for the h22 or h23 it'll say on the motor itself if you're looking in junkyards, ebay and craigslist may help too

 

dont buy h23's.........they're rated at 160hp

 

h23 + h22 head = 186ish whp



and dont buy engines off ebay

 

take it from a pro with 2 h22s
make sure you get a JDM and ebay its a bad place to shop

 

check out engine depot if they're still around.they're in nyc,got good prices.j30 for life but if you got $$$ h22 has way more potential.

 

Noyan USA treated me pretty well with my first h22

 

I may have to kill this noob guys!!!!!!!!!! for that

 

 

he's just a noob.. he'll learn quickly enough!

 

i'm learning already

 

all the abuse newbs get here
oh man

 

OMG i can't believe this came out of his mouth!

 

I was thinkin the same thing, sub quit smokin crack bro

 

My head hurts from reading this thread...

 

The threads are getting worse, and that's hard to do
