I just picked up my first cl, its a 99 2.3cl 5sp! i got a really good deal on it, it has a blown headgasket...anyway on to the pics..





I have had many acuras and hondas..i love them and hofefully i will love this car too, call me crazy but im gonna be keeping this and selling my 02 TL-S

Anways after countless hours of planning and lurking in the noob guide i ordered the following stuff:
JDM H22 Longblock
ACT Stage 3 cltuch and Flywheel
Tein s tech springs
99/00 to obd 1 conversion harness so i can use my obd 1 p13
i already have a h22 trans and shifter from my spare h22 stuff
I have a set of 17 Racing hart c3 EVOS that need to be refinished, any idea on what color i should go with?? Im thinking black centers with a polished lip or full polished??
Anyway im waiting for the longblock to come in, meanwhile im going to pull the stock motor out on monday hopefuly..i NEED the h22 guide to get this thing running..as far as i know i need a prelude drivers side mount? and some wiring the use the internal coil jdm dizzy?
Also anyone know if the stock f23 injectors flow the same as h22's? I will using my stock wiring harness so i just wanna use the f23 injector cause im lazy hehe
also last question, for now atleast lol i have a rsx steering wheel anyone know if it will work??

You should get one of those double DIN GPS navigation screens

If I were you, I'd POWDERCOAT the Racing Harts a red color.

While your at it, paint your calipers black.

Red rims w/ black calipers may look clean.

call me crazy.

Welcome to the forum, it sounds like you really got your shit together. I can't help you out with the H22 stuff but there's lots of others that definately can. When you say stage 3 ACT clutch, what pressure plate and disk is that?

GianJ30a

wow what a project, i cant wait to see the progess, keep us posted

zo4000

i highly doubt ill be going this route with this car i want a subtle luxury look, the act is a clutch kit meaning pressure plate and six puck sprung disk with a 8lb flywheel. I will def update as i come along,
quick question: i am ordering a set of 9006 HIDs in 4700k do the stock headlights have a cut off? or am i gonna have to do a retro fit?

zo4000

update:
i pulled the stock swap out last weekend! and it was a PETA!! but i got it out without breaking a single sensor i always break the stupid TPS..anyway hopefully the H22 will be in this weekend as well as the teins s-techs+ Kyb agx shocks and the 6000k HIDS, wish me luck!

CLpwner

Damn... How much did you get the H22 from and where and is an H22a or H22a1

You're my hero

CLpwner

Oh, well looking up at the first post I see that it is the JDM H22a

zo4000

yes it is jdm, i have a friend that does motors, if anyone is looking for a jdm h22 at a great price, feel free to ask..

Palayah8ta

have u wired ur dizzy or injectors yet? And i wired the internal dizzy directly to my p28 because as u prolly found out already, its not easy.
u cant use the f23 injectors ur car will have 104 hp.

wow, u paid 2500 for the car itself? most h22 swaps alone cost that much, let alone a whole car. where are you located?

dragon084

ajtcl

Nice EK btw.

zo4000

im lost lol..anyway i actually didnt get to even touch the car this weekend had too much stuff going on to get greasy, im going to put the transmission and clutch/flywheel together and hopefully the whole wiring harness mess..i was looking over the engine bay and it looks like my CL has an internal dizzy as well as resistor less injectors?? if so im thinking i can just use obd2 h22 injectors for plug and play and the dizzy is still gonna be a pain

subbuzz

nice, black with a h22. looks good, and it will soon go just as good as it looks.

zo4000

thanks, hopefully it will be faster then my tl-s or i will be disappointed, anyway i made some custom solid mounts for the car, which are currently setting in (takes 48 hours to cure), so meanwhile i switched over some sensors and what not, and installed my 99 prelude injectors SOOOOOOOOO now i really really need to find out how to wire the damn distributor!!! the h22 swap guide doesnt have the info for the 99cl its all for accords so someone please help me out!!!!!!

talk to Palayah8ta, or post in his h22 swap thread, he had problems with wiring his dizzy

XxAtTheGatesxX

Cannot wait to see the finished product.

Nice choice!

zo4000

he posted in this thread, saying that he wired the dizzy to the ecu, thats not the route i wanna go, i guess ill just look up the wiring order for both dizzys and go from there..

Mawi

about how much?? just wondering

ChristCL

dang.! this is gonna turn out sweet. cant wait for the finished product!

ahh. u sold ur TL-s? $?

zo4000

South Jersey CL

oooo me like. how is the h22?

zo4000

its fun...but i have a idle problem when i first cold start it. It will surge for a minute or two until it warms up. Other then that I put my AC lines back in a few days ago, so now I have freezing cold AC. Im currently piecing together a turbo kit for it.
