hmm i'll try to help some.
1)1996 should be first year of OBD2 (on board dianogstics) I think thats it.
2)h22 swap is pretty common place. Hasport makes the mounts and I'm sure the wiring needed for it.
3)JDM= Japanese domestic market
4)never messed with motec
5)if your going with H22, generally you need the same engine series. ie h series engine with h tranny or b series engine with b tranny and generally the same OBD1 etc. I know there is an adapter plate to mount a b series tranny to a H22. just stick ith b series since you already have one. maybe get itr= integra type r b18c5 or gsr b18c1 shortblock
6)get the engine tuned to know where the vtec shift point where be the most useful in your powerband. dont just switch it to 4k so it kicks in sooner.
7)on a del sol 17 is HUGE.15 or 16 is a very nice rim size. just look for a bolt pattern of 4x100 with +32-+38 offset
8)are you wanting the rhd half cut to convert the del sol to rhd or just for the motor? rhd conversion wouldnt work easy that way. plenty of swaps are sold without needing to buy a half cut clip for the parts.

hope this helps some.

Thank you For replaying my Post.
memphisraines26 : Thank you For the usefull information first of all..
i was going to buy a half cut only for the motor, gearbox and the ecu. if its not required so just tell me.?
So h series engine with h tranny = h series engine with h GearBox . ?
we have some name changes i think
------------
about itr motor i dont have to change the tranny and the mountings?
-----------
about tuning the engine how to do that in UAE we dont have some one special in Honda Family cars . they just work to run the motor after that what will happen its not ther job
and iam trying to get closer to Honda motors and get all the informations about it and do the swaps in UAE. "Hope So "..

I would only buy a half cut if it was cheaper than buying a complete motor swap. (engine, gearbox, wiring, and axles) search on this site for h22 del sol swap to see what is required to mount and wire it in the del sol chasis. the del sol platform is similiar to the eg 92-95 civic, so suspension coponants will exchange.

with a itr longblock swap(oilpan, block with pistons, and head) you can reuse the gearbox, axles, and I believe wiring.

this site and the archieved articles are a big help. search for motor swaps and tuning. not sure where else to point you to learn to tune. "crome" and "neptune" are tuning programs that are free to download. start looking for "P28" ecu's that were in the sohc vtec motors. they are easy to chip for tuning.

thank you for the info ..
it will be much cheeper to get a half cut than to buy each part alone.
and i am reading most of the posts in this form i am learning lot of usefull things around.
so have a nice day.
