H22 Swap

[niemo435]

Sorry i have to post this here(not enought posts yet ) I am about to order the H22 from hmotorsonline. Ive been reading on the parts needed, and what can be used from my F22, and Im pretty sure I can get away with just ordering the motor. Not the complete changeover option they have listed. Can you guys think of anything i would be missing, other than having to use my f22 5speed. thanks

engine and ecu... Clutch kit , throwout bearing

Try and get the h22 header and downpipe from hmotorsonline. Otherwise opt out to eBay for an eBay header/downpipe or an OEM replacement piece.

I just used my f22 clutch and throwout bearing, but yeah, ecu is definitely a good point. I believe its included with the engine though. Good call not to get the complete changeover.

Cool guys, thanks for the fast responses! Thats what I was thinking..save a little cash. So for sure the ECU? What I understood from the h22 guide was that mine will work, just wire in the new sensors and solenoids.

You need the ECU ... The engine only usually means engine, partial harness, sensors, injectors, fuel rail, etc and alt

No offense to chiovnidca, i am not totally familiar with the ECu(obviously, thats why im asking) but would anyonelike to confer with having to use new ECU. im gonna order today, just want a double verification on this

[trickedaccord92]

yes you need an ECU ... you can go with a chipped P28, or the stock P13 or 14 i can never remember which is h22 and which is h23

[Chrisisiced]

stock p13 or chipped p28

[niemo435]

Copy guys thank you very much everyone. ordering in a bout an hour. wish it could get here that fast!! haha

[TheNextEpisode]

haha cool.

Just take the swap slow. You'll drive it eventually, so don't worry about driving it one day or even one week earlier by rushing and accidentally overlooking something.

But then no one wants a lecture. So just have fun with it!

I recommend swapping the tensionner to manual, theres a thread around that lets you know all the parts you need to do it

[niemo435]

I did read about that manual tensioner. Not the changeover, just that it would be a good idea. I will for sure look into it. Thanks again guys, i will keep everyone posted on my swap. As of now, ive completed a couple steps in the removal, up to removing the radiator. I have this weekend to make some more progresss, but yeah nextepisode ill take that advice and go slow. i appreciate it. Oh and I ordered the H22. Got the motor and P13 ECU from HMO for 1600 shipped...SO EXCITED!

$1600 without the h22 tranny, isent that a bit much? Maybe not, not sure how much they are going for, but I know I paid $1850 for the whole setup

[Mr_Doitagain]

wow....$1600 thats a lot....its cool that its on the way but... If i was in your shoes.... I would have just saved a few more $ and got the H tranny at the same time.... U can still smile bro, u have an H on the way.....

[niemo435]

Thanks, It may have been an all around better deal to get the whole setup if I needed all that other stuff but i dont. as you all know except for the ECU I can use all the stuff i have now. anyway, yeah 1200 for motor, 200 for ECU, 200 for shipping+tax. They want freakin 1500 for the motor only at the japenese exchange in salt lake city. I thought I did pretty good. thanks for the input tho
