Default How do I find out what year my motor is?

Stupidest question ever, but I could not find anything. What do the numbers stand for? It's an H22A. Please help!

Oh snap! Lan posting outside of GDD!

As far as I know, for USDM motors:

H22A1- 92-96
H22A4- 97-01
H22A- JDM?

Hmmm . . . I remember you saying the H22 is in your Integra, so I'm ruling out anything with ATTS. Is your engine OBDI or OBDII?

And sorry, I have no idea what that code means.

No problem man It does not have ATTS, the engine (I thought) was OBDI, but it may just be the head or dizzy that is OBDI. I am hoping the motor is post 98, and the H22A was made from 97-01 I believe.

H22's were also in 4th gen. Preludes from 92-96, so it might not be post-98.

One thing I can think fo is checking the injectors to see if they're peak and hold or saturated. One kind is OBDI and another kind is OBDII, IIRC.

EDIT: OBDI is peak and hold, H22A4 were saturated.

But H22's are not H22A's. Didn't they have H22 (JDM), H22A (JDM), H22A1, H22A4?

From what I can see in the FAQ, there are JDM H22A's, not H22's. There's always a letter that follows the numbers, from what I can see.

I dunno, mine is an H22A, it doesn't just say H22. I am probably just wasting my time, I don't think it'll ever be legal to smog in Cali, I am OBDI now anyway

Well, congrats to you for finally knowing. Sorry I couldn't have been more help, though.

But why don't you wanna believe that?

That's true man, but I don't have much money for anything anymore. I am scraping by, and wish I could just sell it.
