Hey guys well i posted once and got no response so ill try to maybe get lucky with someone who knows a little something about swaps. Well i have a 1997 Honda prelude SH and some major probs went wrong with it so i bought a 97-01 h22a OBD 2 jdm motor from tigerjapanese.com and got the engine pretty quick. it has an LSD Tranny to so ya.

i got a guy working on it and he and i ran into many problems figuring out how this is gonna work. I havnt been able to get anyone who realy knows wat there talking about to help me out. I'm realy needing to get this done and realy am looking for someone who might have done this swap before or heard exactly how to do it.

i keep getting told different things but its all little things like "swap your oil pumps" and thats all they say, nothing else like why or wat it will do and thats what i realy need is a thourough explanation. please someone help me with this swap im realy getting to the giving up point. if theres to much info to type this is my cell number but please no pranks.(515-371-****) thanks to anyone who can help

 

If I knew I would help you...

Bump to help this guy...

 

Wouldn't it just work with a non-SH ECU? I don't know a damn thing about an SH though. I mean I wouldn't even know what to do with one.

 

I heard that i might be able to try that but they werent realy sure. I do know u most likely have to change the dizzy. but im not sure how to plug in the Crank Position sensor after that since its in the jdm dizzy?

 

i bought my jdm h22a from there to great place
bump help this guy

 

they say to swap the oil pumps because in an ODBII motor, that is where the crank sensor is located, the JDM motor will not have it there. you will also probably need to use a base model ecu to run the motor, I don't think the SH ecu will work. Other than that, use your old distributor, and fuel rail, and the rest should bolt up.

 

thanks man that makes sum pretty good sense but hey u think the jdm ecu will work? oh nd my buddy said the SH dizzy had like one plug nd the jdm dizzy had two plugs so i wouldnt be able to swap them, is this true? Does that sound right?

 

Someone tell me (this is going to sound stupid) but run the ecu from a car without ATTS correct?
(idk if it's an SH or base that comes with ATTS, don't know ANYTHING about 5th gens.)

 

you could use your jdm ecu, but if you have to pass any kind of emissions test, you will fail, because your car will no longer be OBDII. Your JDM dizzy is internal coil, hence it has one less plug, unless you want to modify you harness, use your old dizzy which will plug right in to your existing harness.

 

k so thats takin care of but why do i lose the OBD 11 the dizzy is from an OBD 11 engine? Oh and wen i change the oil pump how does that make my crank sensor work? will there be somwhere to plug it in after that?

 

It is realLy (sad to see so many people in the US who can't even spell simple words properly.

 

Thanks for the info ANDY D!

passwordjdm.com sells a sub harness for like 30 bucks to take care of that

 

What code is on the JDM ECU? P5M, P5P, something else???

 

Not realy sure but ill run by the shop tomarrow and see. Why though would it matter?

This is an empire. You cannot assume that English is his first language, and we should struggle to understand people instead of criticizing them.

You cannot assume anything about somebody's character because he does not have a good command of English.

Help him the best you can.

It's hard to believe that in 2007 somebody would want help so bad that he publishes a phone number, but I guess it's possible.

You might be a troll or this could be a prank, but prudence demands at any rate that I remove your phone number.

You can provide it via PM to people you think might be able to help you.

The user's status has been accelerated so that he can PM.

i am curious as to the correct answer too (looking to swap myself), so i figure start with the ECU code and that will tell you what your working with. correct me if i'm wrong, but the dizzy and oil pump and all are OBD2 related so all sensors and harness connections should be the same, minus the ATTS ECU. maybe i am missing something

 

Hey thanks for the help guys i swaped all the parts and it looks as if its gonna work. im putting the engine in on saturday cuz its the only time i can get time due to my work schedule so ill let you guys know how it goes but thanks to everyone who has helped and even posted at all cuz it really made the difference!
