blkcivicIA, how about taking a picture of the oil filter on your engine and post it here. Love the swap by the way.

hey guys and gals i have a 98 honda prelude 2.2l vtec base model w/ stock h22a4 motor i blew a head gasket and im in the middle of replacing the head gasket and head i just got the head back from the machine shop and im cleaning the block and taking a look at the pistons to clean the carbon build up as i rotated the crank i notice that the 3rd piston wont come to top dead center is this an issue? as meaning is there another problem possible bent rod bad bearings i took compression test to determine head gasket blew and my readings where 50 psi at cylinder 3&4 and 1&2 were stable at 150 if this info helps also if it is a bent rod or bearings can this be switched out by only doing the third piston or do all 4 need to be done or am i just over thinking it and this is a normal set up for h22a4 please let me know if any other info is needed i also can provide pics

Does anyone have a diagram for where the connectors go on an obd1 H22a ? Pulled the motor an harness out my 94 prelude about 2 years ago to paint the car an do some upgrades an now I have no idea what goes where. My goal is to do a wire tuck so any help with pics lol would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

I swap a h22a in a 1995 honda accord. The car feels like it's redline at 5000 rpm and will not crack v-tech. I am running a p28 ecu the motor is 97-00 .I changed dizzy and still redline at 5000. Please help.

H22ex

I have a 1999 ex that had a d16y8 in it
i put a h22a4 in it with a new 8 pin distributor
my problem is that I am not getting any spark
the motor cranks and turns when trying to start it but won’t turn over due to no spark
Any ideas?

Are there eight wires in the plug ??? If so, this would suggest you either have an external coil type distributor OR an H23A distributor which has the power wire in the eighth position. How about posting a photo of the distributor plug on your engine harness (showing wires) and a pic of the distributor plug wires... it will make it easier for us to help you.

I have a 92 prelude type s with a h22z1 and now I'm not sure which ecu to run it with. Reason is that the engine is supposed to run on obd2, but I only have the obd1 plugs in the car. What do I need to do?

JRCivic1

It is basically the same as a USDM H22A4... which is almost the same as the USDM H22A1. The only "plug-n-play" OBD-1 factory ECU found here in the US would be a P13 from a '93-95 Prelude VTEC... however, I would suggest a tuneable solution like a P28 with a Hondata s300.

Hey guys i had a question with the stamps on here so this is a h22a VTEC black top motor and was wondering if this is either a 92 or 93 since it was made on the 11 month of 91 and they are made a year prior of release i would guess it a 92 since it's barely a month before the next year huh?

JRCivic1

Depending on the Manufacturer and the Market in which the vehicle ultimately ends up in... the first month of a production model is typically between the 6th and 8th month. So in the case of the head that you have pictured, a manufacture date of 11/91 would definitely be a 1992 model cylinder head.

dfrisbie11

Okayyy thank you yeahh i ended up getting a 93 repair manual on accident should that still work or would their be little to no difference?

JRCivic1

Good Accident... the 1992 Repair manual doesn't have H22A information in it because it wasn't available in the USDM model until 1993... and it turns out the manual you have is a 1993 !!!

dfrisbie11

Well heck yeah ma dude thanks foe the help for sure lmao didnt expect that haha but yeah that motor is a JDM and i plan on putting it into my 2000 honda accord any advice on that from experience by chance? I mean i have done tons of research on it so i have the basis of what needs to be done so any repeated info will help confirm my build for sure

CalebNeedsHelp

NEED HELP ASAP!

I dont have too much mechanical experience but I have a h22a5 in my del sol. The timing belt needed replacing so I took it off once everything was at TDC (so everything was timed and in the same rotation.) However when I took off my cam gears they turned just a little now the cams arent at TDC but still in the same rotation as the crank. To get it back in time do i just need to rotate anticlockwise the cams once and the crank twice? Do i also need to rotate both balance belt gears or can they stay where they are (at the proper marker) because I believe they dont affect the timing, or do i also need to rotate them and if I do how many times?

Hey everyone,

So I decided to swap out the steel oil pan that came on my JDM H22A Euro-R motor that I've put in my CRX because the pan was bent up a bit on the bottom, and I purchased one of the cast aluminum versions that came on the '97-'01 Preludes. I have found out through searching some of the threads on oil pans here that this pan uses a different oil strainer, however the Honda part number I get from searching on HPU (15220-P5P-000) shows to be discontinued... Is there an equivalent one that I can use with this oil pan? Also, the aluminum brace that fits around the oil pan doesn't clear, so is there a different PN that I would use with this oil pan? I haven't been able to find that part listed (but may be referring to it by the wrong name). Thank you in advance!

JRCivic1

ITR if you want the LSD. B16A if you are on a budget.

The H22 of course.
