***H22 SWAPS...GENERAL QUESTIONS***

[tab]

This whole forum is a guide. It's free. Also, if you are that worried about $30, then the H22A isn't in your future. You'll need about 2k.

I made the right decision, i got a jdm h22 I have a couple quick questions though:

1) Is there something really important i need to know about the auto tensioner?

2) I know someone else asked this question, but i have a 1990 accord and they had a 5th generation i believe: will my h22 fit exactly into my existing engine mounts or do i need to add one extra prelude mount?

Thanks

[90AccordH22]

I just used the accord fuel rail so I didn't have to lengthen the line

ok i am thinking about getting a skunk 2 intake manifold for the H22. is it going to be hard to replace? is it something that i can do or am i better off just taking it somewhere to get it done? do i have to jack up the car and get under it to get it off or is everything i need to do on top?? oop:

i think everythings done up top...you might have to get under the car to release one mount that hold up the manifold but thats it. dont quote me but i think thats how.

I would think that the main part of the intake wouldn't be that hard, but if you want to replace the runners as well, it would take a bit more doing since half of the nuts are underneath the intake runners.

aight cool.....and what about the power steering pump...the motor i got didnt come with one and the accord power steering pump looks a little to big to lit on the H22 and the metal bracket that holds the Power steering pump in place looks ALOT different from the one on my F22 now so will i have to go out and by another PSP for a prelude??? oop:

[post=398567]Quoted post[/post]​

I'm just gonna take out the power steering altogether. It's just added weight and I heard that if you take it out you gail more power not just by weight reduction but by something else

 

[reikoshea]

you gain power from not having another belt driven device. the more shit your engine runs the less power you have on tap

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

It's really minor though, especially for the P/S pump. I think you'd be lucky to see 2 hp at the wheels.

I also have this swap for a few years now. I never hooked up the power steering because of issues I had heard reagarding it. What exactly needs to be done to hook up the power steering from 90 - 93 Accord to work with the H22. I have always had my P/S line just sitting on the valve cover and it looks tacky ;/

Buy a DOHC prelude power steering hose. Use the prelude pump. Where the hose attaches down below, you carefully rebend the hardline and hook it up.

That's it. Prelude pump, prelude hose, everything else stock.

Where is the knock sensor located on an H22??

 

[reikoshea]

just above the oil filter

 

[TeamUrbanChaos]

cool....and how do you wire it in?? is it a one wire sensor straight to the ECU or is there a lead wire and a ground??

 

[reikoshea]

one sensor wire straight through to the ECU
