Just ordered my JDM H22a

[J-Tiki]

I like the 4-1 header, but I want to stay streetable with a 4-2-1. Thanks for the link though.

Randull, Thanks for the heads up. I sent you an email and I'll be getting back with you shortly.

Motor came in

Got my motor in from HMO and only took 10 business days to get from California to North Carolina. I'm very pleased with the condition of the motor. Its a '93 JDM H22a LSD.













I'm in the process of gathering all of my parts to change things on the engine such as: All Genuine Honda parts - except clutch and flywheel

Clutch/Flywheel
Timing belt
Manual tensioner conversion
Water pump
Thermostat
Seals - Cam seals, rear main, valve cover seal
NGK plugs
Cap and rotor

I've already popped open the valve cover and inspected the cams. Its a relatively low mileage motor with very minor scaring on the cam lobes. Everything looks clean and compression test was pretty even across the board - 205-200-195-200. When I first compression tested the motor, I had readings of 270+ for all cylinders and I knew this couldn't be right. I'm just happy that I have an even reading across all cylinders.

I'll keep you all posted on the as more parts come in.

nice motor man

[SNOOZE]

Congrats man! How much did you get it for and from where?

[benjerman112]

Man looks good Did it come out of the wrap like that?

[mtnbikaah]

shit's clean!

I regret not getting LSD. It wasn't even the extra $300 that deterred me... it was the fact that HMO had none in stock at the time, and my stock transmission was just about shot.

The H22 is amazing.
A CB7 with an H22, a clean paintjob, HIDs with a projector retrofit, some nice wheels, and a mild drop on H&R Sport springs and Koni Yellow shocks... that's the perfect car. I'd be happy with that for the rest of my life.

If you put it that way i'm pretty close then. Congrats on the motor man, like the other guys said. You're gonna love it.

nice pick up man, i remember when i tore the wrapping off my H22 and it was just as clean as yours. wish i had ordered the lsd trans too considering i ended up having to rebuild my USDM trans when it went in.

Thanks guys. This is the condition that it came when I took the wrap off. It was strapped down by 3 metal straps and the ECU was nicely bubble wrapped and placed right above the fuel rail. In case if you are wondering if there is a documentation sheet of the motor - there were NO papers documenting the motor.

One thing I suggest to anyone that is going to have their motor sitting around for a while like myself, is get some roller dollies to place under the crate so that you can move the engine around. This is very handy since my garage is limited on space.

Overall, I'm very pleased how clean it is and how it compression tested. It makes my F-bomb look like turd.

that really is a beautiful engine.

I got no documentation with my motor either, and it was promised. That's my ONLY complaint about HMO. However, I've never once been questioned about the legality of my swap. Most cops would have no idea that it wasn't the stock motor.

I order many time from Steve on HMO.. Their motors are very clean and I never had any problem with their engines and trannies.

Very clean motor man

[h22sparkle]

You will definitely love the way it pulls compared to the stock motor.

It looks like it is in pretty good shape, mine was on a pallet with a tag on it. it came in kinda beaten up. Congrats again man. Keep us all posted on the progress.
