Hey, I use to drive a 2ooo Si (stolen/tottall) thinking of picking up a 92 lude 5pd si. I was wondering how difficult and what u need to swap in a 92-95 jdm h22 (off of hmotorsonline.com 1.8gs i think?) into the 92 lude. Is it straight up? or do I need to get any parts (wiring ecus, etc)? I searched, to no avail, please help a brother out. Thanks

 

all u need is the motor and ecu... the si tranny will bolt up

 

can i use the lsd tranny? will that bolt up ? what about the jdm ecu? both are obd1 right? THANKS

 

Yes you can use the lsd tranny as well as the ECU.

>yes the h23 tranny will bolt up to the h22 block but its not a great idea for optimum performance.

Why??? Could you explain???

 

different gear ratios and tends to slip out of VTEC from what i've been reading....

save up for the LSD tranny....

Hmotorsonline are charging the H22A longblock, tranny, 'n ecu for $1950.... 'n thats w/o LSD 'n shipping.....

 

i have h23 tranny on h22a and never drop out of VTEC although third s really long! goes to 95mph, id recomend getting the h22 lsd trannyfor best results but if you cant afford dont sweat!

Nice if you live in US... Here in Poland (Europe) there is not many hondas, no good used parts, it is a pity... And if you find something it costs a fortune...

I paid about $2000 for a H22A2 used engine.

Then I had to pay 450 Euro = $500 for a P13 ecu. And it took me 10 month to find it..................

When I look ebay with all these goods I can only cry.

have you ran your car at the track?
just curious bc it seems like you wouldn't even need to
shift into 4th at the end

I'm running a h23a1(m2s4) tranny on my JDM h22a and I have to shift into 4th before I finish the 1/4.

 

oh yeah, I was going to suggest the essential prelude link but it doesn't list swap info...unless I overlooked. anyways, it's a straight swap. reuse your h23a1 mounts, axles, wiring harness. this will make it a lot easier. all you have to do is add VTEC:

VTEC Solenoid Yellow/Green A4
VTEC Oil Pressure Sensor Blue (passenger side harness) D6
VTEC Ground Black chassis ground


unless if you have a I believe a 94-95 prelude. They're already pre-wired. 96 would be OB2-II so you would have to use a conversion harness.

 

no i havent ran at the track but basiclly stock my speedo says 95mph when the stock tack says 8000k! first is kinda annoying too off the line sucks with shitty tires.

 

although if i was boosted i think it would be a hell lot funney thn a h22 tranny. 5th is never ending so the top speed would be like 170, but id never trust mine to go above 140!
