90 Hatch h2b build
Since I'm making some unexpected power moves with my build, I decided to do a little write up on it to hopefully help people who are planning on doing this swap in their EF.
Around November of last year I ended up picking this up from my friend for 1K.. It wasnt running, But it did come with KSports, Funtion 7 lca's, d16y8 swap, rywire harness, and i few little things.
About a week after I picked it up, I screwed around with some wiring and got it to run! I knew I was going to get the single cam out and replace it with something better, I just couldn't make up my mind... That was until I got my oil changed at work and one of my friends decided to do this..
I got a kick out of it, But after talking to him for a bit I wanted to do h2b kinda bad.... i ended up finding a h23a longblock and well as a b16 cable trans w/ lsd from J.E.I located in manassas, VA. When it came to the h2b kit I purchased the evolution kit from swapshopracing.com,and went with rywire for my EF h series harness and chipped p28 ecu... Im still waiting on my harness and ecu to show up, As well as ordering my shift linkages, traction bars, and getting little misc. things needed to drop this in. I will be updating this thread as parts come in as well as the install of the motor.
This is what the setup looks like with the evolution kit installed.

Re: 90 Hatch h2b build
I started grinding on the back of the block lastnight, and should have some pics of that up soon.. I need to test fit a axle to see if it clears or I I need to take some more off.

Re: 90 Hatch h2b build
I just did my H22 into my Sedan using ExplicitSpeeds ****... No hood cutting but the motor is low as **** (Is what it is). Although I didnt go H2B I love the torque and top end power. Im interested in seeing what yours runs in comparison to mine. Well have to meet up whenever you get it done.

Re: 90 Hatch h2b build
I must admit, when I first started this build I was a little intimidated when reading about the block grinding... when me and subietohonda got everything mocked up and jumped into it, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...

Re: 90 Hatch h2b build
For anyone who doesnt know
I dont know the exact specs on the h22b (i hear they're quite rare?), but this gives some insight into an h-series engine.
H22
The H22 debuted in the U.S. in 1993 as the H22A1 for use in the Honda Prelude VTEC. Since then, versions of the H22 would become the Prelude's signature high-performance engine worldwide until the end of Prelude production in 2001. Variations were also used in the SiR Accords in Japan and Europe. In 1994, Honda of Europe used the H22A cylinder head and the H22A engine block as the Formula 3 engine, which was an H22A engine, destroked from 2.2 liters to 2.0 liters (F3-2000cc), to compete in the European F3 series. It was then used by Mugen Motorsports as the F20B from 1997-2001. In 1995-1997, Honda of Europe used the same H22A-based F3 engine in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) Honda Accord. Also, in 1996-1997 Honda of Japan used the same H22A-based F3 engine in the Japan Touring Car Championship (JTCC) Honda Accord and won the JTCC for both years. Honda of Europe hired Neil Brown Engineering of England to convert the H22A engine to an F3 engine which would be later used in BTCC and (www.nbe.co.uk/super_touring.html)

Re: 90 Hatch h2b build
Its H22 motor to B series transmission (Ys1) or whatever your heart desires. Unless I missed the joke thats what H2B means.
Again, once you get this car finished Id like to meet up with you to see what it does vs mine. PM me if youd like.

One more, add fake laser sounds, "PEW PEW"
Back on topic, who makes that intermediate shaft? And is that the entire thing or is just that bracket and you reuse a B-series intermediate shaft? I've never seen the intermediate shaft attached when doing an H2B.
