I just got a 1997 Prelude SI with a blown engine and now it turns out the old parts are not compatible with anything but the car it self.

Why would you do that when the market for swaps were blowing up during that year?

what you just said makes no sense

 

You dont drive an Si ... my gawd, you drive an SH. Cant really understand your question either. You can get around ATTS. Do some research and you will find all you need.

 

buy a new h22 with a tranny and swap it in?

 

do this.

buy new h22.....any wil do

ditch your M2U4 Tranny (ATTS) for a M2B4 or M2Y4 5 seed.

also, I would seriously consider English lessons or grammar lessons at your community college.

 

First of all, I guess tonights a night for SmartAss remarks. Cool, but lets get the record straight. The Car is not a SH its a SI. Also I already have a H22A 1995 but because of the ATTS system I will need to get a Transmission aswell.

P/S: For anyone else with a "Big Keyboard", thank god for the Internet otherwise you not get to speak your mind.

 

Also check your spelling and grammer before you advise college for any one else.

Its 5 Speed! *******!

 

my name is ripplesound and i are smart.
btw: you have a 97 prelude SH

 

o man guys this guy has a one of a kind 97 prelude SI!!!! seriously dude the atts only came on the prelude sh. Its on the tranny. just swap out the engine and tranny and ull be fine

 

The manual says all H22A4 engines are equipped with a ATTS system and the parts are not compatible with any other H22A, so it is not recommended for swaps.

say what!
you have a 1995 H22 with an ATTS system?

 

If you are right, you just saved me alot of money. I just wish people would learn to communicate without being an ***.

 

dude research what the atts actually is. You might understand why we are telling you that u can do a swap

 

hha yea this kid is douchey....there's nothing wrong with atts anyway if youre not piling on the powa'

not correct
not all h22a4 have atts

 

okay, one last time. Maybe you will get it, maybe you won't!

The engine is a H22A4. The book (Honda engine swaps, by Aaron Bonk) says all H22A engines are similar but the H22A4 is equipped with the ATTS system. If its not and I miss understood, thank god because I am going to save alot of money. If you have any real advise please do it, respectfully.
I have a 1995 engine ready to swap but I just read about the ATTS system, that this car clearly states is equipped with. Now I believe I will need a new transmission for it also.

 

yes
take out the SH engine and Transmission then swap the 1995 H22 with a new transmisson....any H or F seiries tranny will work besides a M2U4

 

Also CGags13, with the money I save, I can buy you a plane ticket to come say that to my face if you up to it.

btw:I have just noticed that the guy who started this thread(ripplesound) has bad grammer and spelling in atleast every sentence so far.

 

Thanks 92 hondalude!

Lolers. All the above are right, just do a full swap and you will be good. 97 si , thats what it said in the listing right? was it a v6? Naw just playn man. You should really look up on your car. You drive a 4 banger 1997 Honda Prelude SH. Hope all goes well with your swap.

 

actually I will be passing threw soon on my way to fayetteville next week.

Actually, give me 40 bucks for gas, i'll drive up there, whoop your car all day long, and drop off a few old grammar books I have laying around.

 

Your right! I just found it in the back of the book, not the manual. I just got this honda because it was a good deal. Now I am finding out that theres more to the story than I originally was told. When we made the deal I was told I only needed a engine.

Also I thought all the type S preludes were 220HP.
