Hi everybody, here it goes....93 prelude si 4ws w/ h23a1 swap to h22a jdm...still have p14 will change tommorrow w/ p28chipped and have si tranny...everything seems fine but just a little concern regarding mismatching parts..

1) i used the si tranny from my old motor and when i press the gas around 2500 - 4000 (1st) (2nd) it feels like it's skipping power in between like is on neutral. however, it will go though and 4th and 5th is fine?
2)neuspeed race springs (fr:2.50) + h22a = header down pipe really close to the ground like a few inches...not sure if i'm missing something to hold it up?
3) put power steering, after a few test runs, suddenly no power steering = (guessing) big blob steering fluid underneath my car. what happened?

thanks guys for any comments....sure glad i got this swapped done, missed my lude....

 

Well, I see where your s/n comes from........j/k

1. Don't know....see what happens w/new ECU

2. Stock ground clearance is less than 5" anyway.....but might want to double check 2 bolts on bracket behind oilpan are there and tight. See if there is any play (side-side/up-down movement) of downpipe.

3a. Could have had a significant amount of air in lines and it finally dissipated, meaning fluid is now low.

3b. Might have a blown/disconnected/rotted/junk line.

 

very much appricate with the info....i'll check out everything: p28 ecu chipped, bracket header, and power steering hoses......i'll tell you tommorrow when i put in the new ecu...should've just borrowed my friends....after that i will finally have vtec....
