I'm nearing the end of my h22 swap from an h23 but i first need to do something about the ignition coil. i have a harness left over that wont plug in anywhere and im almost positive its for the external coil which was on my h23. the motor i have is a JDM h22 which is internal. now i've read that what i can do is use my stock dizzy and coil and use it on the new motor.. is this true??
if so, then (i'll need to check when i get home from work) i may sold the dizzy already from my old motor, so is there any way to get around this problem? any help is much appreciated.

 

You can re-use the external distributor setup from the h23 if you would like, I heard it operates better at higher temperatures with the external coil anyways. But if you want to keep the internal dizzy setup you just have to ground out that plug for the external coil with an 40 amp fuse.

 

What do you mean ground it w/ a 40 amp fuse? I'm mechanically inlclined, but when it comes to electrical stuff i'ma little slow.

 

On the extra plug, just use a 30 or 40amp blade fuse to jump the connections. Here is a pic of mine that will hopefully help explain this.

 

NICE! thank you! I will try that when i get home.

 

Will vtec engage with this?

 

Yes. This will not affect your VTEC. It's just the simple way to run an internal coil using an external coil harness.
