Question on an H22a4 SH type

[My93Cb7]

i bought a parts car just to get the motor for my Cb7. I have been reading up on the swap, but i am a little confused. Since the motor came out of a Prelude with the ATTS will i still be able to use this motor or am i pretty much stuck? Any advice would help. Thanks

You can use it, but some modification may be necessary. The transmission cannot be used without considerable modification (more trouble than it's worth.)
You will still need to convert to OBD1.

like deev sid there is some minor modification needed. one is you have to use your fuel rail and fuel injectors as the obd2 ones are different , and you have to use you alternator as well as the obd1 plug is different from the obd2. im not sure if there are other things that have to be swapped over.

[deevergote]

Distributor, and OBD1 ECU.

There are some differences in the engine externally that affect mounting, I believe.
Honestly, it's generally best to stay away from the Prelude SH (not "type SH"... just SH)

well i have all the parts from my first h22a4 that i bought. it spun a bearing on me. i got the car for a good deal. so i jumped on it. i have an obd1 intake manifold with everything already on it. i am not sure if i have to switch out the cooling piece in the back of the engine or not.

Your main problem will be the holes for the half-shaft, they're in a different location so a bracket will have to be made, everything else is little problems a garage mechanic can handle

he might even already have a bracket since he had an H22A4

Type SH = JDM Type S ATTS or however it goes. Still the black sheep of the H22A's due to the half ass LSD that is has. Deff not worth the time, not to rain on your parade or anything. I know because I used to have one.

[deevergote]

SH and Type S are very different. Type S has much more going on with the engine.

ATTS isn't really LSD. Comparing the two is like saying VTEC is "turbo with all the lag and none of the boost".

Off topic:
The Active Torque Transfer System(ATTS) Honda implemented in the Type-SH spec does actually handle significantly better through turns. Take it from me, I had one and tested it against a base model. The amount of understeer that you would typically experience in the base model is more than with the Type-SH thanks to the ATTS which plays a huge role, but also the beefed up suspension components. You can actually feel the car keeping its composure through a hard turn. I believe that differential has the capability to transfer up to 70-80% of the power to a wheel. I have plans of buying another Type-SH in the near future. I kick myself everyday for selling my Prelude.
