I have a 92 prelude with a F22B motor swap. The swap came with the car. My question is my starter went bad and i wasn't sure if the starter for the H series was the same as the F series and if they are different where can i find an F22B starter because they were only made in Japan. I'm pretty sure the F series single over head cam vtec motor doesn't match up but i'm not 100%.

 

I would think the starter is the one that goes to the tranny more than the engine but I would take the old one out and bring it to the auto parts store with me. Compare it with the new one and see which one it is. Post back here with results.

 

Oh so it's particular to the transmition? I'll take a look and see if i can get it off. Anyone else?

 

h22/h23 more like the h23 should work for you

i think the usdm h23 is the jdm f22

 

That's impossible they have diff. displacements. Also I believe my alternator is going next. So same question diff. part.

 

im not sure about which starter to get, but the jdm f22b is basically an h23 head on an f22 block, you can use all the h23 valvetrain components (if you compare the stock parts they are exactly the same), and for the block, just use f22 botom end components . . . i wish i could help you out with the starter tho

 

if it helps, i am running off an h23 starter myself. it works just fine

I remember reading that the alternator or PS pump is the only parts NOT H23. everything else is compatible.

Starter is not based on displacement.

 

You have an F22b and a h23 starter?

 

yes i do

 

Do you have an h23 altornator as well. I'm 100% my altonator is bad and i want to be 100% before i get a h23 atlonator

 

no, my alternator came with the engine, so its a jdm f22b alternator. im not sure if it would work

 

Good news i did the install yesterday and everything works 100% thanks guys!

 

i think a f22a starter could work.. the f22b dohc block is the f22a block.. and yes it \came in the jdm prelude sis.. tis a direct replcaement for the h23 they make the same power

 

F22a starter should work as well im using a F22a starter on mine right now with my F22B dohc
