h22a4 swap question

[bikener]

I am just wondering why few people have usdm h22's and most people have JDM h22's. The 5th gen USDM preludes have the same hp rating as JDM h22's, so why does everybody choose to impost jdm h22's??

[N9netwoAccord]

easier because its obd-1. less mileage

[bikener]

what's obd1?? and if i could get a usdm h22 with under 50k mileage and if i could go inspect the engine before, would it be better to go usdm??

obd-1 is the type of "computer" system thats used to run the motor. our cars being pre 1996 are an obd-1. its just so much easier to get the same type of motor instead of going through the hassel of converting.

it wouldn't really matter i guess whether JDM or USDM, but there are a few differences, but nothing that shoud really change your mind on buying, unless you live in state where you have to get smogged.

bump.. some more input on this question would be nice. I'm trying to figure weather to buy JDM or USDM. I can get a totaled 01 prelude with 51k miles on it for very cheap. Would this be a good h22 source for my cb7??

[N9netwoAccord]

if you get a good enough deal on it sure. i'm going to be doing an obd-2 motor in my obd-1 car sometime soon.

I would buy the totaled prelude, then you can get other things from it like the cluster and the five lug swap, these are desirable parts to have or sell to others.

i got a h22a4 out of a 98 lude in my cb... i didnt have any problems putting it in my car.... things you have to do though

get 93-95 prelude injectors. "or use the 2001 injectors cut the clips to fit the f22 harness and get rid of the injector resistor box on the cb"

you probally got an enxtrenal coil on that 01... you need a obd1 dizzy if your cb is extrenal coil as well buy a 93-95 h23a1 dizzy bolts up and works fine

obd1 ecu "p13"

Plan on using the MAP sensor on the TB of the new engi....

other than that its a simple swap

good to know you've done the swap, you may be getting a lot of PMs before i attempt mine, but i do have to get the motor first
