this is the motor i bought for my 92 honda accord lx, http://www.bestofjdm.com/COMPLETE-PA...jdmhonda20.htm

and im wondering what all do i need other than the provided to get this in my car... and im also wondering what i can do to it that will wipe all the competition off the map ( or most anyways). please help!!!

 

I heard it drops right in but you'll need to transfer one or two transmission mount stud over to the other empty hole on the tranny housing to be able to you the CB tranny mount if I'm not mistaken. Then reuse your F22 harness and just extends whatever connector that won't reach the sensors. Just make sure to label all the connectors before you disconnect them so you know where they go.

For exhaust, I read that the H22 header + downpipe will drop right in with no cutting/welding involve. As it seems like it's a complete swap for that price, it should come with axles. I recommend you do the H23 manual tensioner conversion as the Auto Tensioner from factory sucks and it's a hassle when it is removed. They also known to make noises and fail causing catastrophic failure, so by converting it, you won't have to worry about it anymore. Then replace both the timing and balancer belt, front and rear main seals, and now is a good time to do a clutch replacement as the engine is still out and easy to access. I'm running Exedy stage 1 with a Fidanza 8lbs flywheel on my setup. It's perfect for DD.

 

well the swap i bought comes with the h22 lsd tranny and i got a short throw shifter for it too, so now how can i make my car fast, i really want to smoke my buddies 90s trans am but idk what itll take.

 

Research, research....planning, planning...research again. I would never go into a build without the end in mind. No I don't build Honda motors (though the Chevelle will MOVE). However I've always known exactly what I was going to do before I started...Any and all builds should start with the end in mind....my two cents.

 

so where do i get one of those, can i just get it from napa or do you know of a online store that sells the total conversion kit?

 

Here's the part list you'll need to complete the conversion:

13404-PT0-004 - ADJUSTER COMP., BALANCER BELT
13415-PT0-000 - BRACKET, BALANCER BELT ADJUSTER
14510-PT0-004 - ADJUSTER COMP., TIMING BELT
14516-PT2-000 - SPRING COMP., TIMING BELT ADJUSTER
14521-P14-A00 - PLATE, ADJUSTER
90014-P14-A00 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER BASE
90015-PT0-000 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER SPRING
90016-PT0-000 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER
90140-P14-A00 - WASHER, PLAIN (11MM)

then either go to your local Honda dealership or order it from:

should have bought a messed up prelude o yea better change the axles too dont use the stock ones

 

when installing the engine will the old electrical go into the new h22 engine? cause right now im in afgahn fighting so i cant really be home to watch my dad put in the engine

 

Yes, you're suppose to re-use the old F22 Accord harness on the H22 your putting in. Then just lengthen a few wires that can't reach.

 

Electrical is different, but most of it is the same. You're going to have to use your stock harness, wire in VTEC solenoid, VTEC oil pressure switch, knock sensor, and lengthen your IACV plug as well as wire in IAB. I haven't done a CB H22 swap in about 10 years, but on the CDs, the EGR wires need to be moved around to not throw codes, you might run into the same problem with yours, but I don't remember because it's been so long.

You're also going to have to buy a new power steering bracket which have already been mentioned above.

 

why dont people use the h22 harness?

 

Doesn't plug into the car, so it's a bigger hassle.
