not really...... thanks anyways, the main think i am looking for is
A: is it true that some cutting and welding on the chasis is required
B: what's the best way to run the shifter cables

a. yes, using the HCP mount kit, u have to notch the passenger side tranny mount so the cable shifters can operate correctly. no welding is required.
b. run the cables under the car near the exhaust, then cut a hold right under the cup holders and run the inside the car, then cut another hold for the prelude shifter box.

 

For HASport mounts, you will need to cut off the tranny mount. HASport uses it's own mount to mount the H22 into the engine bay. The reason for cutting off the tranny mount is for best clearance of the shifter/gear selectors on the tranny.

HCP, you will need to trim it. Otherwise, no 5th gear or reverse.

Best way to run the shifter cables is to dremel out a 2x3 in hole about 2" in front of the cup holders. Best way to align it is to have the cables on the tranny, once the engine is mounted, pull the cable shifters so they aren't hanging/dangling around, and you will be able to align the hole to feed the cables to the shifter assembly.

HTH.

 

wel, i am actually putting one in a del Sol, so, and other measuring points to use for the place for tha cables to go through??

any of you guys stil have AC or PS?? i know someone makes that bracket for the AC condensor... http://www.jdmshit.com has them, but can i use that bracket with the HASport mounts???

 

Yup, the mounts with the HCP a/c bracket will work. You might have to do some fabrication on the PS, and using a 97+ prelude PS line. (which you can use from your car)

For aligning the cables, the proper way of doing it is to put in the motor, install the cables, and pull the cables to where they do not wiggle/dangle around to hit the exhaust, and drill the hole where the original mounting goes.

HTH

 

how long did it take you to do your swap? i have done my share of B series swaps in EGs and Tegs, and have pulled the H22 out of my Lude and put it in before, so that work shouldn't be much of a problem, just wondering about time mostly

 

took my friends and myself 2 days. not hard at all. you know about the rear mount several times i'm sure

 

 

LOL, I knew you did.

I hope you can move your arm around in 80 ways, because that's what you're gonna have to do

 

man, i been practicing, i'm up to 108 ways so far

 

damn, either you wack a lot, or you broke it several times

j/k

 

nah, i since i am technically the "mechanic" of my gang (working on my ASE cerification), i always get the bitch work like putting in the rear mount, and pulling axels, and all the hard ****, b/c "but you know what your doing"....

 

LOL, trained the hard way. That works

You probably have the rear mount down to 2 hours
