someone fabricates something called the H2B adapter plate.

takes some other fab i think to get the tranny mount onto the chassis, etc etc.

shorter gears = better accel, but the top end will lack some.

havent seen this done but im taking the reason why is because b16 tranny has shorter gear ratios ?

Well I don't think anyone here will need this conversion unless your going all out at the drag strips. I'm talking about major N/A or Turbo power and need the better of the honda tranny's for reliability issues and available parts.

I completely agree. I'd love to get a h2b but it's too expensive for me to justify the purchase. There's lots I will be doing to my engine before I spend money on a tranny swap.

However, I do think for someone that's looking into swapping an h22 into their civic, it is a good idea to look into. If I had to do it over again, I would just buy a h22 without the tranny and instead of spending the money on motor mounts, spend it on the h2b kit. Too bad it wasn't out when I did my install

Final drive cannot solve the reliability issues the H series has been known for....in high HP setup that is.

This thread has so much missinformation.....

B series and H series transmissions have nearly (and in some cases, completely) identical gear selectors, syncros and bearings. For Example, I run B16/ITR 3rd gear selector and syncros on my H22. This B series &gt; Better is BS.

The ONLY thing that hurts the H trannies is that they use cables to shift. Well, those of you who are ignorant, please realize the K motors use the same method, and shift very well. I contribute that to the counterweight they put on the selector shaft, as well as better overall syncros.

The amount of fab work required to install a B series tranny in a prelude is pretty crazy, not to mention that amount of change of axle alignment. So, I really don't understand why this thread is here, in the prelude section.

As far as gear ratios, people with preludes are much better off just purchasing a FD to fix that problem, I also highly suggest to the people that are not happy with the H series ratios to do some research and should have purchased a tranny that would have been better suited for them in stock configuration (M2F4 4th gen VTEC for example).

I should really just lock this......

I knew Corey would come in here and straighten them out. If you want an H2B start with another chassis designed for the B powerplant

The place the h2b adaptor is best is in a civic or integra. It usually is more cost effective if you already have the b series mounts, axles, flywheel, clutch and tranny. So if you have an integra with an ls and want an h22 it is easy and cheap with the h2b plate.

If you have a prelude keep the h/f series tranny. unless you want to drop tons of money that won't get you anywhere.
and if you want to do that. send me some money ill do nothing for you too.

Mfactory has a 4.61 FD if you are interested in getting geared towards a b series.
