on a scale from 1-10 (1 being easy and 10 being hard), would you say an h22a swap into a 5th gen accord is easy or hard? assuming you have a general idea of your way around cars and have both manuals and have help

The motor drops straight in.....the car already has shifter cables.....the wiring harness is very similar.....shouldnt be too hard.

Just hook up the coolant/fuel hoses.....wire VTEC...if you dont already have it....and wire the IAB's (secondary intake runners)

I think the accord axles will even work....

but then its a lil bit harder cause i need to do an AT to MT conversion as well

 

very true... not that expensive though.

 

yeah....you would have to add a clutch pedal, master cyl., slave cyl., etc. Then you would have to get a accord/prelude 5 speed shifter. I dont know how to convert your car.....but I have heard of shops doing the at/mt swap for cheap.

Looks like you need to go to the junk yard and ckeck out an MT. accord to see what the differences are....then maybe you could decide wether or not to try it yourself....but the shifter shouldnt be a problem

yeah......has anyone in the northeast ever heard of a place called allentown? its, from what i hear, a big lot with $1 admission that you go in and just yank watever you want out and pay very cheap prices for it. might go there this weekend and see if i can get any of the things i need there

 

Is that Allentown, Pa? WHERE IS THIS PLACE?? I want in?!
I just did an H22 in a Civic.. of course it doesn't run at the moment, but my friend wants to do an accord/h22 swap too..

 

yea allentown PA.....heard that theres some pretty useful stuff there....just gotta find it under all the junk

 

Wow, I want to go there man. D'ja find the name of the place yet? Website? anything? I need some EGR stuff for my car, and the cruise control resovoir, gas pedal, etc....

 

yeah i'm planning on making a trip out there soon. wanna go over there together? my car isn't driveable right now. if you got aol im me at NYCXKRZY or email me at NYCXKRZY@AOL.COM and i'll give you the website and all that

OH COOL. Man, I Wish that was closer!! I'm in upstate NY, right on the border of Pa.

 

EK22 wanna head over there together?

 

the swap you are speaking of is cake, i would give it a 2!

 

Hey man, no, i can't make it anytime soon. it's about a 3 hr drive for me, and the Holidays annd all.. I would go sometime in january though! Would you be willing to look for some small parts for me, if I sent you some money? I just need stupid stuff.. Like the trunk and gas tank door popper, and vacuum resovoirs.. Thanks bro!!

 

well the person i was going to go there with can't make it anytime soon either. his girl is due anytime and he can't be in allentown looking for car parts when his baby could pop out anytime soon haha

i think we're gonna head over there in january. so if you wanna join us...or if you wanna go on a seperate trip with me...i'm down to go to allentown twice.

 

Cool man. i'd love to go. Me and a few other hondaheads will take a road trip and meet you there some saturday. My im name is timmyturbo90 or h22tim Just let me know when it is bro and I'll try and be there! My bud's got a 97 Lude, actually that's Kenlude97, and Sidan who has, you guessed it, an Si.

 

Keep me posted guys. I wanna go too. Make sure that you dont leave without me..

 

cool! H22 hatch fest!! Jason, you're type S right?

 

Yeap that is me.. Gots lots of body work to do on the car so a chance to see what I can get for cheap would be very nice for the coming year..

 

very cool indeed.. Let's do it!

 

alright. no doubt. we'll set something up and meet there together one day. maybe we can even cruise together on the way back. take up all the lanes. haha. i'll keep you guys posted on which day I'M going. and if you guys deicide to go on a different day. let me know and i'll see if i can fit it into my schedule.

 

Sounds great to me..

 

damn man. my dad just screwed me over. my tranny blew about a week ago. i was planning on doing the AT to MT swap myself. but i went to school today and when i came home....i found out that he took my car to the shop and told them to rebuilt my AT~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so pissed. i'm really thankful that he cares enough to do this......cause i know a lot of fathers won't...but i mean he's wasting his money. it would be MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cheaper for me to do the MT swap. just pissed me off today. and yo ...... i'm sooooooooooooo sick and tired of AT. i need to shift my own gears lol. and heres the worst thing.....i'm korean...but i seriously HATE korean mechanics...in NY those korean mechanics don't konw SH*T about cars man. like today i called the place he took it to...and i said - instead of rebuilting, i want you to do an AT to MT swap. and they were like theres too much stuff to do, we're just going to do the AT rebuilt. and i said....i'm paying you~you do what i tell you to do. and he said well we already started. so unless you wanna pay for both, we will do only the AT rebuilt. i don't feel safe having my car in a place that tells me that they think AT to MT is too much work. sighhhhhhh wish me luck. i'm sorry i wrote so much. just trying to vent out some frustration.


** i wanna go to allentown like this weekend guys. i doubt any of you can go. but if i can get these guys to stop doing the AT rebuilt, i wanna go to allentown, get my tranny, and be driving my sunday.**

 

Nah wont be able to make it this week or next but I free anytime after that..
