Warrior 1

Good evening everyone, haven't been on for a while but I need your help, advice, opinions. My water pump on my 94 Honda Accord LX (non vtec), seized and caused the timing belt to break. I did a timing job on the car and realized I bent a valve in the engine rendering it useless. I know this topic has been beaten to death and I have done some research, I just want to lay it on the line to you guys on what I want to do, what I have, and opinions or comments. My Accord currently has 260,000 miles.

I went ahead and bought this setup

JDM H22A DOHC Vtec 2.2L OBD-I 16-Valve 4-Cyl. Honda Prelude 1992-1996 / Accord 1990-1996, (approx. 44000-51000 miles).

This Auction Includes

•Engine •Automatic Transmission •ECU & TCU •Distributor•Alternator•Starter
•A/C Compressor•Power Steering Pump•Intake Manifold•Exhaust Manifold
•Throttle Body•Spark Plugs.

While Im doing this swap I will change my radiator, rack and pinion, inner and outer tie rods and wheel bearings and axles.

Questions ?
-The half shaft I need to buy is it left and right, or is there one half shaft. I want to buy the one for the prelude?

-Can I buy the axles for a prelude and it will match up with the Honda hub?

- I have read about the couple of wires I have to run, example (vtec, knock sensor plus a couple more) Can I just buy this sub harness from rywire.com? What else do I need to wire up. I can give rywire.com the list and they said they can custom make the harness.

-Motor mounts- which is the best? I head the hasport on make the engine vibrate. I plan on changing all the mounts. Should I buy all the mounts for a prelude or a Honda or is there another aftermarket ones recommended?

-AC- Can I just drop in the h22 engine and use the AC compressor that came with the H22 with the Accord lines?

-Fuel - the fuel rail with injectors comes on this motor. Can I just use it or do I need one from a 97 or later prelude?

When I install the ECU and TCU from the H22, do I just remove the ones that came with the original non vtec engine and install the h22 ones in their place?

Exhaust- Im planning on buying headers for the h22. Any particular brand? I have a magnaflow catalytic converter, can I reuse that? And I plan on matching the headers and catalytic converter to the magnaflow catback exhaust. Any suggestions?

I live in Westchester New York so if anyone wants to come by and give a hand, plenty of beer will be on hand.

Again guys thank you for any ideas or suggestions. Sean
