swap time *H22a all day*

[kratemertyl]

so here it goes, lil back round on the situation at hand. I been having the car for 14 years running this f22 on and off as a daily driver. about four months ago i was driving to work and when i pushed the clutch in she stalled out. i poped the clutch and she fired back up. got up to the stop sign and rpm dropped low and the oil ligth started blinking real faintly. i pulled over checked the oil, all was good. it only did it at idle. so since i was far away from home i jus kept it slightly reved at a stop. all signs pointed to a pressure problem but since that oil light is really only good for tellin you your in trouble i couldnt be sure. i contiuned to drive the car on and off because it would only do it after she got good and hot. i installed a oil pressure gauge shorlty after and noticed good oil pressure when cold but then she would drop to 0psi. all the while the top end had been gettin louder and louder, plus my clutch and or transmission was starting to slip and get stuck in gear, kinda like something was broke inside. when she was slightly reved at around 3krpm the rattiling from the motor was very bad. so i said hell with it. time for a new motor.. so here we are now. time to swap

using the DIY in here on the F22 removal this was easliy removed by my self in less then 5 hours, takin time to lable everything was the hardest part.

i orderd the minimum to freshen up the new(old) motor,belts, water pump,etc. dont wanna do a complete overhaul cause i plan to pull it back out in a few months once i save up a lil dough. so far lookin at the motor i notice im missing half the main connections on the wire harness. also gonna have to figure how to wire up for the internal coil on this new dizzy, figure out the deal with the non existent vtec pressure switch that jus a bolt in its place and how to wire it and swap the fuel rail with my f22 one since the fuel pick up is on the opposite side. gonna pull the valve cover and oil pan and see what years on stagnent oil look like i guess

Follow the swap thread and you'll be fine. As far as the Vtec oil switch just go to the JY and get one from any honda with vtec. Get the plug too. Unless you are chipped then you just disable it on the chip

Is this OBD 1 or 2 motor you have?

sweet, another H22 swap


any pics??

[kratemertyl]

i got a few pics ill post in a bit, it should be an obd 1. thats what i asked for, iim not sure what the differences are but i read that alot of obd 2 dont have the pressure sensor as well, then i read that as long as i have the right jdm ecu that it wont look for the sensor. im not chippin it yet, gonna run it stock for a few months make sure everything is right before i start tweakin.

[kratemertyl]

well i got the valve cover off and the oil pan off and been cleaning as much as the hard build up as possible while waiting on parts to show up. also finished these motor mounts up (front and rear) turned out sweet!

Good luck with the swap man. hoping to do a h swap in my accord at some point

they look good but will they hold.............

[Stoner51]

Why wouldn't they work? They look pretty good, just let them cure properly.

The jdm p13 has a speed limiter at 118. I think. When I was looking I wanted the US version. I may be wrong.

Yeah that's right. But why would you want to go any faster than that you gotta be dumb in a 20 year old car, that's what Deev says and he's right!

P13 ecus are expensive and hard to find these days, I heard that you could buy a civic ecu with a H22a basemap preloaded and have it shipped to you. There's this guy on Ebay who does it, I trust him and I think I am going to get one from him. Its cheaper than what a P13 ecu goes on ebay, $170 compared to $200.
