The ones I can answer:


i need obd1 h22a1....
Yes, unless you want to convert an OBD2 motor.

can i use my cb7 trans....?
Yes.

i know u need too run a vetch wire ...were exactly...?
What's "vetch"?

what computer do i use.... and does the prelude comp plug up fine to the
car?
P13. Unless you want a tuneable ECU.

[jaykilla116]

thanks.....
and i meant v tech wire... and p 13 is fine does it plug right up with no modification?

[JoshM]

thanks.....
and i meant v tech wire...

Why do you need vtech?

[jaykilla116]

isnt the h22a

isn't the h22a a v tech motor i figured that i would have to run a wire for the v tech solenoid.....being that the f22a1 didn't have v tech

I just completed this swap a couple weeks ago. I bet I read the swap info a dozen times or more.

Reading is fundamental.

Just my .02

ok im ready to do the swap i going to by my engine next weekend..

i know other threads already have the information but i don't have time to search n read....


i need obd1 h22a1....
yes because converting from obd2 is a pain

Questions i have!........... can i use my cb7 trans....? yes your f22 trans will work

does the engine harness on the h22a plug right up two the fuse box...?yes it should, but you can use the f22 harnest

which axles do i use prelude or accord?accord

i know u need too run a vetch wire ...were exactly...?yes you need to run a vtec wire from the solinoid to the ecu. just find the diagram....its on here

oh i herd about a manual tension conversion... is it okay if i leave the h22 the way it is?..yes its okay to use the auto tensioner. most people convert because they sometimes go out. i only converted because i put skunk 2 pro 1 cams in mine. you can find a kit they sell for like under 85 bucks.

what computer do i use.... and does the prelude comp plug up fine to the
car?yes you can use the p13 ecu which should come with the motor and yes it will plug right in

the engine i am buy is a jdm version what exactly do i have to do to the fuel rail...i think you have to use the accord fuel rail because the jdm one is different
do i use all cb7 motor mounts....?yes you can use your accord mounts
what down pipe to use.....you have to get a new down pipe. the bolts coming off the header are further spaced apart and wont work. just order one of ebay for the time being
i would very much appreciate these answers!!!!! thank u...
i need two know these things because this is a great amount of money im spending an i would hate to buy something wrong or don't have all pices

the answers are in red. since you dont have time to read or research i spoon fed them for you.

there are 2 plugs in the back of the engine what goes to the top one ...?

my h22 is missing a back box from under the intake manifold do i need that....?

on the the fuel rail the was a black thing bolted to the fuel rail wat plugs to that? and on the v tech diagram were is that knock sensor..?

and i have the exteral coil on the f22 but the h22 doesnt what r my options and how do i do this?

[jaykilla116]

oh yeah i dont have the p13 can i use the one that came with the car

[jaykilla116]

lol

sorry for asking all these dumb questions i sat the motors together and it quite easy when u get started... im nearly done .... i was planing on ordering an upgraded ecu... he told me i can put a singal vtech option so i would only have to run 1 wire is that a good idear. and i will put pics soon... i dgressed the life out my tranny and painted it and greased all the clutch stuff installed flywhee and clutch kit.... i decided to jump the wires wit the fuse for the dizzy.. ebay sells a good tps sensor.... were can i get that wrenkled red paint ? i wanna paint the valve cover..... right now im deciding wat to do wit the power sterring do i use the pump it self or the whole bracket.....
wat type of gass the the h22a run on is it regular...
