5th Gen H22 Swap Questions ...
I recently purchased a JDM H22a complete swap (for a GREAT price) to drop into my 95' (5th Gen) Accord. Which I plan on turboing not to far down the road. I haven't recieved the swap yet, since I just ordered it a few days ago, but I have a few questions in preperation to doing the swap.
Driveshafts - are the 95' Prelude and the 95' Accord driveshafts the same? Which driveshafts should I use for the swap? I read that the Prelude's are just stronger than the Accord's and that leads me to believe that they are the exact same. I plan on upgrading the stock Accord driveshafts to ENJO Stage 3's. If they are the same, can I just get the Prelude ones for $995, instead of getting the Accord ones for $1,350?
What are some common problems that people run into when doing the H22 swap into a 5th Gen Accord?
Thanks for taking time to read this and any help / advice is greatly appreciated ...

If you are using the h22 tranny, use the prelude shafts. If you are using the f22 tranny, use the accord ones. Since you are going turbo, the longer gearing of the f22 transmission would be better.

I actually just made a thread about this a few days ago about the longer gearing of the F-tranny and people said that the H-tranny still works better with boost. It looks like I'm just gonna have to take the car to the track this summer and see which tranny I get a better time with ...
Are the driveshafts exactly the same though or no? Like I said, I want to buy Enjo Stage 3 driveshats and NEED to get the right ones. If it depends on which tranny I'm going to use, I'll just have to wait awhile to buy the driveshafts after I know which tranny I'm going to use.
