H22LUDE808

please let me know if i can do this cuz i blew my H23 motor. i wanted to take out the H23 motor and bolt up the H22 motor to my H23 auto trans. i would swap the whole thing and convert my car to 5 speed but its too much work. plus the cars for my wife and she likes automatic.

just wanted to see for sure if the H22 will bolt up to my H23 auto trans.
let me know guys.
thanks

Yes, it will mount to it without any problems. H22 and H23 trannies are interchangeable.

thanks andy...
how would i wire up the whole vtec solenoid?
cuz my car is set up for a non vetc h23.
and car should still be good with an auto trans on the h22. i mean still gonna make good power.

unless..... you know how to convert the prelude to 5 speed?
lmk and thanks for the help.

Search for the info on wiring vtec, there are alot of threads on it. There are also threads about converting to a 5-speed.

What year is the Prelude which the H22 is going into? If it is 93 and later, it should already be pre-wired for the VTEC parts.

If not, it is easy to do. It sounds harder than it is.

The car will make a more power, but with the auto tranny, you won't be able to make the best use of it. However, it won't be bad.

Honestly, I would not go through the effort of converting it to 5spd. It is just easier and cheaper to buy a 5spd Prelude.

Converting to MT is very simple with the engine out of the car

A few bolts and about 5 wiring changes.....thats it....

well im going to buy the motor and trans tomorrow. its a 5 speed H22 from hmotorsonline. i think the years is 92-95. thats what it says. for my car so far i took off my auto shifter, brake and gas pedal assemblys, and auto gauge cluster. i ordered a clutch, brake, and gas assembly from a 94 5 speed lude. also getting shifter cables and shifter assembly with the motor. the complete swap i think they got it for 2199.
what do i need to do for wiring for the 5 speed swap?
and is there anything else i can do since im waiting for the parts to be shipped?
lmk guys. and thanks for the help...

oh and i would get a 5 speed lude but we had this one for almost 10 years. it kinda grew on me and my wife. so i dont mind the labor in converting it to 5 speed.

I would highly recommend getting the HELMS manual, its $68 I think but its worth it.

I believe you can still DL it online for no cost but you have to print stuff to have it handly while you work.

I am actually doing an H22 swap right now, I got my motor from Hmotors also. It looks great. you should be happy.

I would suggest having a friend help you, take your time and do it right. Change the timing belt if you are comfortable with that, I also did a manual tensioner conversion(from H23).

I get alot of my info from preludeonline.com , there are writeups for the swap and friendly people willing to help. HT seems to be full of ******** that say "search it" but the search feature is HORRIBLE. You cant find **** for threads!

goodluck

thanks for the info.
hopefully its not too hard to convert to 5 speed. cuz my wife said she found a website that sells H22's with auto trannys.
dont wanna look like an ***. lol
thanks again
