Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
Anyone here running a plateless setup in a EF hatch with H2B ?
Been looking at the brough performance kit but haven't found any feedback on it!

DH, that must be me haha! No, I don't know how I missed that! Damn. I wish I could come up there for that meet, but I don't travel north much anymore. My daily is not very long distance friendly.

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
Another hurdle: Got a harness from a company. Ran into a few things...
1. The knock sensor plug is different than my knock sensor. Considering this is an OBD2 JDM (H23A) motor, was I supposed to change to my knock sensor to OBD1 type? If there is an OBD1 type. My setup is OBD1 by the way.
2. Oil Pressure (marked OP on the label) sensor...no idea where that goes, or if my motor has the wrong one. All I see is the sensor on the bottom back of the block that the axle bracket is covering. Is there also an OBD1 type sensor I should buy for the block?
Any help is appreciated. I'm getting antsy at this point getting caught up by things I didn't see coming.

Oil pressure is behind the intermediate shaft bracket. Knock sensor could be changed out for OBD1. Rock-auto has them, most inexpensive I found but not OEM.

I haven't posted a pic of my bay for some time, so thought I'd keep this thread moving with my latest look, just fitted a custom manifold cover (exhaust) as well as adapting the K20 cover over the RBC inlet
sorry quality not great on this one but you can see the k20 cover

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
Hoping to lay down primer in my bay this weekend. I'm actually heading to the garage after this coffee. Gonna blow all the damn body filler dust out as best I can, the garage is just POWDERED now. Then get her up, drop upper control arms out along with the coilovers. Tape the firewall holes closed, do some light shock tower sanding, and then start masking. First time doing this, can't say I'm not nervous!

In my opinion h2b is still relevant. Sure a k has more potential, but it's so much cheaper to go h2b, especially if you already have a b series transmission. 4piston has a new head for the h22 that flows a lot of air.

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
I need a clutch line, radiator hoses (by the way, what's the right combo for those again?), and some damn time off work.
I have a bit of a problem too....my IAT on the Rosko worked RBC is far too close to the BMC to get the electrical connector on it. The IAT is located on the driver side of the plenum, directly opposite the throttle body opening. I'm not sure if I should make a hard wire to the connector, or just forget using that location for the IAT altogether. Maybe drill a spot on the underside of my intake arm? My motor is mounted at this point, and I'm really not interested in yanking the manifold off to do any drilling or tapping in the RBC.
Any suggestions?

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
I am still deciding if I want to go AN lines with a tucked radiator, can't help with the hoses.
Move your IAT to the intake and either use a rubber grommet with 96-00 sensor or a bung and CRV sensor.

Hello all.
Working on my h2b on a del Sol. QSD type kit. Having problems with alternator hitting the chassis. Need like 3/4" to the left.
I have stock h22 alternator and bracket (on pictures).
Also have a b-series alternator. Will it fit on the stock h22 braket and will provide clearance?
B-series alternator wiring is the same, plugs and everything, as the h22.

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
Sounds like you either need Innovative's H22 lower alternator bracket or the QSD bracket which allows use of the B-series alternator.

Re: **Official H2B Discussion thread **
If you go with the Innovative, just a word of warning. I had to weld another brace to it and add a fourth mounting point as my original one decided to let go on the motorway (freeway) on Christmas day a couple of years ago lol. Not sure if anyone else experienced this but it wasn't fun seeing my alternator belt roll down the road chasing me!

Also, what about the wiring? If I am not mistaken, plugs for B-series (OBD1 civic/integra) and H22 alternator are different.
