yo guys im about ready to buy a front clip that is an h22 and manual that is rh drive. Will it be a direct swap? my car is an h23 and its automatic if that makes any difference. I know this is very vague but any help would be greatful.

 

I dont know exactly what it would consist of, but i can almost guarantee you that its gonna be a bit of work. Clutch master cylinder, brake booster, fuel lines, fuel rail, fuel filter..etc will likely need to be moved. I dunno, just the thought of it screams too much work.

 

has anybody ever attempted this?

 

i did mine. and let me tell you,, it took some time...

 

all i want to do is swap the engine and transmission...Cant i just leave everything else in my car and have it bolt up.

 

i think im really confused right now.. when people swap there engines where do u get ur engines from? most come from rh drive cars to begin with right?

 

i think our impression was that you were going to try and put the whole clip on the car.

 

na all i wanna do is swap the engine the transmission. wanted to know what i was getting into since my car is auto this being manual and since the steering rack is on the opposite side i dunno if that would affect it.

 

you gotta do a manual conversion. Is the shift linkage intact? Do you have axles? the master cylinder and brake booster "should" just swap over to your car. Your going to need a pedal set: clutch, brake, throttle. Shifter assembly.... does any of this stuff come with the clip? And you will likely need a manual ecu.

 

yup the linkage is intact it comes with axles and the ecu all i would need to get is a pedal set

 

if its a whole jdm front bb4 clip i am 99% sure it would come with pedal assy....
but u prolly need a usdm pedal assy if u are staying LHD...

 

why a pedal assembly is a pedal assembly. the gas isnt on the left in japan

 

Why did you buy a whole front clip if you only wanted the engine and tranny?

 

lol true i got the complete h22 changeover kit comes with everything (no pedals or master cylinder) but everything else for ~2500

 

I got a JDM clip with an LSD tranny for $2750. It had everything minus the lights. The clip should have everything you need to do whatever you want to do. Im 99.9% sure that the pedal assemblies are the same since the JDM and USDM pedals are arranged the same way (clutch on the left and gas on the right). Its always nice to have extra parts

 

i didnt buy it yet but i would get the whole clip cause it comes with the digital climate control headlights, foglights and a lot of other misc stuff that u wouldnt get when just getting the engine.

 

My clip did not come with any lights (headlights, foglights, or turn signal lights). Be sure to ask the importer if you will actually get that stuff with your clip. The lights were the only things missing from my clip.

 

my friend did vise versa, he swaped from RHD to LHD. hi didnt buy the whole clip. the ecu is on the other side, AC/Heater lines are also different

 

i bought a 94 jdm bb1 h22a 5spd front clip
my car= 94 f22a auto

i used all the engine mounts from the clip
i bought a usdm clutch hardline from majestic hondy
re-use the jdm clutch dampner assembly/rubber line
hell you can even use the jdm clutch pedal assembly with spacers
buy a new master cyl and slave
youll need a usdm brake pedal though
used the jdm shift cables

It just takes more time removing it all from the clip then into your car. I'm very happy i bought the clip because you get sooo much extra parts.
