Alright... I have a 2-door 1990 accord EX
its a 5 speed.... so i dont have to a do a tranny changeover...but..
im savin up all my cash for a H22a swap...
im considering hmotorsonline.com to get the motor and "complete changeover" because i have a torn cv boot on the right passenegr side and would need an axle job anyway...and all the other excess parts theyd give me im sure would make the swap go smoother....
i guess my question is...i have little to no experience under the hood of a car but have a few friends who know their way around an engine. tools are limited...so is knowledge....should i attempt this swap myself (what would i need??) or what am i looking at for a mechanic installation and would they do it rightt? or screw me overr in the longrun....and also whats an estimated price tag....
also once i get the motor...what do i need to get besides well obviously i wanna get a performance clutch kit...but what else would i need to get to ensure reliability from the motor and ease of installation....(ie: water pump, oil pump, fuel filter, oil pan gasket, etc...)
would i want to get a JDM or USDM motor...what is the difference BESIDES the horsepower and torque.....
and is the LSD tranny really worth the additional $300?? i know what an LSD tranny is and does....but would it REALLY be worth it in the long run....
I also dont plan on doing much to the H22a once its in besides well intake and a header and maybe underdrive pulleys but thats it....so keep that in mind.....so if anyone could just kinda throw some general knowledge about the swap or even some more complicated info at me....and also throw price tags at me....
any information would be greatly appreciated.....thanks a lot guys
