Swapping JDM H22 into 97 lx, can I use my f22 fuel rail with the H22 injectors, or do I need to pick up the US spec Prelude fuel rail? Also converting to OBD I if it makes a difference.

 

No one?

 

You need to find a H22 fuel rail feeding from the driverside because thats where your fuel filter line is at. And no, I don't think the F22 Fuel Rail will work.

 

What year is the engine you are using?

 

nus dogg: thanks, I figured as much. I will pick up a prelude fuel rail.

gogydm: I will be ordering a 92-95 OBD I motor in the next couple of weeks. I'm just trying to round up odds and ends for the swap.

 

Are you sure that the fuel feed is in the passenger side on that motor?

 

If its a motor from japan the banjo bolt that goes to the fuel rail will be on the driverside.. all you have to do is use your stock fuel rail along with the H22 injectors

 

im doing a h22a swap in my 6th gen accord right now. watch on what timing belt kit you get the water pumps are different from jdm- usd. i made that mistake. also jdm engines need you to reroute a wire to the dizzy. ill get all the info once the swap is done

 

Thanks for the tip, I was planning on ordering a new water pump from Honda when I get the new timing belt set. Are the pumps themselves different or just the pulley?

 

There's a few that comes feeding from the passenger side; might've been the JDM H23As, but I did read during the process of my H22 swap that you'll need to buy another fuel rail feeding from the driverside so that tells me that there are some with it feeding from the passenger side. And mine came feeding from the driverside, so I sold the extra rail I bought to someone else.

 

Ya, yours and his are both 5th gen so the fuel filter is on the drivers side so he can use his stock fuel rail and H22 injectors. If it was 4th gen he'd have to use 4th gen fuel rail.

 

hey wuts up
So I just picked up a 96 accord coupe and I want to do a H22a swap on it what will I need to get it done right.. I read on this forum that the H22 should just drop in with very little mods and the motor Im looking at is a 98-01 H22a with the tip tronic tranny..

 

^^^ go to the FAQ, look around the do some research.
And start your own thread if you still got Q's

 

Those tiptronics are tricky, Idk if anyone has gotten one to work normally with no CELs.

 

Im thinking of doing an H22 swap as well but im going to build mine up before i drop it in... need a 5 speed trans first

 

i just did a swap from my h22a to a h23a vtec blue cover...i believe ive connected back all the wirings from my old one to my new one...i even swap my oil pump plate along with the pick up tube so i could reuse my crankshaft sensor and top dead sensor....before i did this, car will not start...so i transferred my sensors to my new one and still would not fire up..any suggestionss...

 

additional info...i have used all my parts from my old h22 to my h23 motor..
