im doing this swap next week and ive ordered the motor from HMO already and ive also ordered the timing belt conversion kit,Hondata IM gasket,cam seal,and rear main seal.Ive been reading some similar swap threads and gathering info here and there but is there anyone whos don this swap in a 5th gen that can tell me what else ill need to do?

Ive read i have to switch the distributer,intake manifold,Alternator,Power steering unit....and thats all i got.If anyone can add some info id appreciate it.I know ill run into some snags but im just trying to get as much info before hand as possible

 

you need to swap from obd 2->obd 1

...why are you doing a swap???

 

ya i already have a p72 with hondata s200,sorry forgot to add that.Im doing the swap b/c my engine is dying.Leakdown results were 8%,22%,12%,7% respectfully in each cylinder.

 

oil pump, oil pan baffle, intermediate shaft, thermostat housing

Thanks for the replies, well it looks like ill have to use 4th gen vtec injectors and resistor box,but the jdm h22 im getting is a 95,will those injectors be the same as a 4th gen vtec lude?

 

you will need to use (from your old motor)

dist.
intake manifold
oil pump
external coil
injectors

 

if you swap complete intake manifolds, that takes care of the injectors

 

i believe ill need the balance shaft,and timing belt pully right? As far as an ecu my p72 with Hondata s200 will be ok?

 

yes. Just make sure you have the OBDIIA - OBDI conversion harness and a basemap then your good to go. Just make sure you atleast get a street tune soon after putting the ecu in. You wont be getting the greatest gas mileage/power with a basemap.

 

will i need drivers side balance shaft, or will my 5th gen fit?Thanks for all the help

 

you need to use the balancer pully if you are going to keep the CPS at the Timing belt.

it took me a week of my car being in the garage to figure that out LOl

 

might want to think about replacing the timing belt autotensioner while your at it. nothing like dropping in a fresh engine to have your timing belt pop after 100 miles.

 

or go to manual tensioner

 

Ya i have the manual tensioner kit on the way.Ok so here is a list of all that ive gathered for the swap please let me know if there is Anything else i need.


From USDM H22 to JDM H22:

intake manifold(injectors included)
oil pump/baffle
external coil
balancer shaft and timing belt pulley
TDC and CKP sensors
knock sensor
oil pressure sensor
Wiring harness(obd2)
intermediate shaft

Ill also be adding/changing:

Manual tensioner conversion
timing belt
water pump
front main seal
rear main seal
cam seal
valve cover gasket set
spark plugs

 

intermediate shaft

 

ahh, thank you.Do i need a intermediate shaft off a 4th gen VTEC lude then?

ah, manual tensioner. how long have those been around for the h22? ive been out of the loop forever. did my swap a long time ago. woulda used one had i known

 

anyoine have an idea on the intermediate shaft?

 

you use the one from your old motor.

 

ok, thanks i didnt know if that was somthing i needed from the jdm motor or not.

 

If im running a obd1 p72 with Hondata,or buy a jdm p13 can i use the injectors that came with the jdm h22?

 

yes. But you need a resistor box for the JDM injectors.

 

what about the oil pump(tdc and ckp sensors),and dist?would those still need to be swapped if using the p72 or jdm p13?I, pretty sure the answer is no,but i just wanna verify.Thanks for your help 98vtec

 

Does anyone have a pic of the t-belt and b-belt sprockets that need to be swapped?

 

I will help you out. I have done 2 of these...the correct way. AIM - fender716
