    I accidently an accord

    Hey guys, loooong time lurker here. I was browsing cl one day and kinda stumbled upon this accord, 1990 auto with a blown trans. Got bored one day and picked it up for a couple hundred aaaaaaaand now I have a cb7 lol. It doesnt drive, and barely starts but the plan was to swap it so Im gonna toss the motor and trans anyways.

    I work at a salvage truck yard but for whatever reason we have a h22a4 out of a prelude laying around so I'm probably gonna throw that in with a h23 trans and go from there.

    Here's a few pics...don't have many. I didn't really even mean to buy this thing so I kinda threw it in my yard and forgot about it

    my bro checking it out





    thew it under a tree.. where it will sit for a WHILE until I start working on it




    Also that's my daily...06 silverado with a mild drop

      Not bad just when your ready get a h22 transmission of if you can get the h22 5speed trans from a trusted JDM shop since it has slightly shorter gearing which it benefits from the most congrats just take care of it now.

        The whole thing?


        Looks to be in really good shape! Even the engine bay isn't hideous. The car has also been repainted, as no 1990 models came with painted moldings.
        If your H22A4 came from a Prelude SH, you'll have to do some mods to make it work. It's designed for use with an ATTS transmission, which won't fit in our cars... and you'll need to modify the intermediate shaft bracket.
        Are you just going to keep it auto? If you're converting to manual, there are a few DIYs on here showing you how to do it. It's mostly straightforward, but you have to either change the transmission mount bracket, or buy a conversion mount.

        Welcome!

        Also, sparkle... USDM H22A transmissions have shorter gearing than JDM H22A transmissions. Not that it matters.

          That can't be right. When I had both the base model and the type s I was always in front of other base h22s stock for stock

              That's because you drive like a nut!

              4th and 5th are shorter on the USDM transmissions. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and reverse are the same.

                Thanks for the welcome guys! Deever yeah it was painted 2 years ago apparently. I plan on converting to manual... I like how the h23 trans is geared so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with that. The prelude we had was not a type sh, I know those are a nightmare to deal with. I've been reading nonstop on the swap and conversion threads but I'll probably still have some questions when it's time to change everything out as I'm going to swap the motor and trans at the same time so I imagine it being a huge clusterfck

                  It's fairly straightforward, really. But as long as you've read up on it and have some idea what you're doing, everyone here will be more than happy to help you if you get stuck on something.
                  That's how we work around here. We're happy to help those that are willing to help themselves. We're not too keen on helping lazy people, though! From the sound of it, you should get along well here

                            Put something over the car if its under a tree, and not a blue tarp. As a professional Detailer I know what trees can do to a cars paint. Looks like a good find!!!
                            For the love of god, STOP putting H.I.D's in stock housings!!! Projectors ONLY!!!
