the reason you cant find anythign is its a very uncommon swap. plus i dont think anyone makes a mount kit for it anymore either.

I know that Spark Racing INC. has done it before. Maybe they can make you a kit or something.

There's info out there, you just need to search a little more... Check this out:

http://www.teaminterlude.com/3rdGenH22Swap.asp

That's not the only site either, there were quite a few more. I just used Google and searched for "3rd gen prelude h22"

i am thinking the guy that did that write up may have bought a harness from me....the name seems right and the location is right.
he had wanted to convert the whole car to obd1 and wanted a later model dash and engine harness which i ahd, and sold to him for liek 1/3 of what i got it for....which would be about $100, i even told him he was in for some hell though....
looks like he went with PRi who is gone now....

i believe place racing is the only place that makes the mounts for an h22 in a 3rd gen. i looked into it a while back for my 91 and its a very difficult swap. probably not a good idea unless your experienced. it has been done however.

there is a lot more info on this swap on these forums http://preludepower.com/ than H-T. lots of 3rd gen owners on that forum. gl if you go for it

edit: i'm pretty sure u can retain a/c and power steering, tho probably with some difficulty.

The jdm b20 is a direct replacement for the b20a5. The only things to switch around is the intake mani and header because it doesnt have the egr and o2 locations on it.

the only simple swaps as far as i know of are other 3rd gen engines like the b20a5 (out of the 2.0si) the b21 (forget exact code out of the si) or a jdm engine from a 3rd gen. the jdm b20 is supposed to be the best from what i've heard. apparently it is a much stronger engine and tends to not burn as much oil. my old b20a5 used to blow thru oil

i think the only way to do a simple 3rd gen swap and get some power is to go with a jdm b20a boosted setup like triple_s1x said

EDIT: you probably know this but dont confuse the b20 we are talking about with the one out of crv's. the crv b20 would be just as difficult to put in a 3rd gen lude as a b18 i believe.
