I did a h22 swap in my prelude and I had to use the h23 distributor and it went out so to get a new should I make sure it is for a vtec or does it not matter? Someone please help because i am wondering if that is why it went out because it couldnt handle vtec i dont know.

what year is your jdm h22a. there should be a code on the distributor itself check it out. im not sure but yest you have to get the correct one for your engine. or else it will be shorten out.

what?


The obd-1 udsm 92-95 distributors are the same, vtec or no vtec.

 

im using my h23 distro and its handling vtec fine no issues.

 

u can use either an prelude si or vtec distributor (h23 or h22) both of them would work... or u can simply just re-wire the jdm h22 distributor that came with your jdm h22 swap... it's easy.. all u have to do is re-wire it to external coil... they have instructions on preludeonline.com it shouldn't take no more than 30 minutes to do it...

I rather stick with the vtec distri, saves the trouble..

 

whats the trouble thou? the si and the vtec model distros are both the same about.

 

the h23 and h22 distirbtuor are the same....at least honda says they have the same part number...usually that means tehy are the same.

They're the same but that rewiring part..damn i rather just buy the right one and just plug on connectors and go..

 

what rewiring part are you talking about?

 

i dont know what rewiring part he is talking about either.

 

lol... maybe he misunderstood wut i was sayin.. u don't have to rewire the usdm h22/23 distributors.... but i fu wanna use the jdm h22 internal coil distributor u have to rewire it to external coil.. which is very easy to do... and since u already have a jdm disty u might as well do it and save the money from buyin a new one...

 

last time i did hta ti left the external coiol plugged in and plugged in the internal coil distributor to the harness and drove off.

 

by the way, does anyone know how to install a msd 6al on prelude since it's a external coil..i havent experience installin that but have on the crx internal coil.
ANd if it's external coil, is it good to just use the stock coil there cap with msd??
