ok, heres the deal now, i bought a jdm motor (h22A) with transmission and ecu. i wanna know if it will bolt up and work. i know i will need a harness for obd2 to obd1 and new axles. but what kind of axles do i need? 4th gen vtec? 5th gen base? is there anything else im forgetting that i will need to get or is the only problem the axles? thanks alot guys!!!

 

hey bro I have the same swap in my 99 prelude sh, you just need the base axles for it to work.. and as for the swap you have to rewire the dizzy and that's it..

 

5th gen base axles? and what is dizzy?

 

haha, and you already bought the engine without knowing what all you would need to do to it? Thats not the smartest thing...

But yes..5th gen base axles. And a distributor.

 

why cant i use the distributor thats already on the motor? and can i use my distribtor from my a4? thx

 

you can...meant to say rewire it.

 

So you bought a base JDM swap for your Type SH? Or did you get the Type S swap?

 

looks like he bought a h22a swap for a sh 5th gen.

 

im sorry for all the questions, but how do you rewire it? the motor came with a jdm p13 ecu. and im doing the obd2 to obd1 one conversion. so if i use the jdm p13 would i still need to rewire the distributor? and yes i bought a base jdm h22a for my sh.

 

hey bro the way I did the rewire of the dizzy is I contacted boomslang.com and ask them for digram from the 4th gen and 5th gen and wired the 5th gen wire on the 4th , but on your old motor you going to have the cut the plug from your crank sensor and extend the wires to your dizzy and wire the crank sensor on your dizzy, and the car would start, with out the sensor not wire the car wont start... I would tell you exact colors to which but right now my car is at the paint shop and it wount be ready this coming friday...and the last thing are you getting a obd2 to obd1 conversion harness too right? you need it to run the p13 ecu..tust me onces you get the digram on both gens you all you have to do is match up the wires and that's it real easy.. good luck and if you have me question let me know

 

oh yeah almost forgot, keep the same dizzy that came with the jdm.

 

thanks for your post, i think i know what you mean now. do you think you could send me the diagrams you mentioned? i went to boomslang.com and all i got was a page with no links. or just show me pics from your car. i dont mind if i have to wait because i cant order my axles till wendsday anyway so i might not get to start this weekend. thanks alot!!!

 

sure no problem and I will tell which wires go which, onces I get my car, and about the boomslang you have to e-mail the guy and ask him.

 

do you have his e-mail address?

 

yeah it's importaltima98@yahoo.com

 

thanks alot!!!
