Default Need some help with a BB6...

Well, first, let me explain the situation:

A customer came my buddy with the intent of swapping his H22 into his Civic. He purchased a '97 Prelude Type-SH from his friend, it sat for a year (Needed some suspension work), and now he decided to put that engine in his Civic.

Now, I'm buying the Prelude from him for a nice price, and all I need to do is buy some headlights, get it aligned, a bit of paint work, and most of all, a powertrain.

My question is this, I know those Preludes have ATTS... Is it possible for me to purchase a 1992-1995 H22A swap, install it, and run the car fine without the ATTS? Are there any other problems I may run into when installing an OBDI H22 into the OBDII car? I have the OBDII Distributor, and ODBII P13 ECU, and OBDII Injectors... Everything should go in just fine, correct?

Any help is appreciated!

lol i dont know how he got that atts to work in the civic....

your new setup looks about right, what ecu do you have though, i doubt you have an obd2 p13, you probably have a p5p or p5m ecu...take a better look

Woops, yeah, no OBDII P13, it's the stock ECU (Whichever comes in there, I don't know jackshit about BB6).

Looks like this little project is rolling together this week, I'll post up pictures and information as it progresses.

you're gonna need to get an ecu out of a base model bb6, with the immobilizer key or whatever it is....that you may need to search on...

being that I'm from NC also I can tell you, you HAVE to get ^^ ecu.....or you won't pass inspection....you must have an obd2 ecu that throws NO check engine lights....and your stock ecu will throw lights for the ATTS....

You're going to need to swap over to an an OBDII Crankshaft Position Sensor. Changing to an OBDII oil pump will do the trick and get the sensor off your friends Civic, since his ECU aint using it.

The reason is OBDI has the crank pos sensor in the distributor and OBDII has it on the oil pump gear.

I just came across these problems in some research... What I think I'll do is purchase a base model powertrain for $1,995 from IAS, and swap that in... It'll just make things simpler.

Thanks for the help guys!

Thats actually the same conclusion I came too when replacing in the engine in my SH. $2k for a complete OBDII swap?

IAS = Importautosalvage.com right? Did you email them to get that price?

I E-Mailed them, and have yet to get a response (Yesterday, so that's fine)... We've purchased H22 swaps from them before, and the cheapest one we picked up was for $1,850.
