I believe it doesn't matter if its 5 years old , Im doing the swap very soon and I was googoling, and this is one of the results in the first page . basically there is no certain information and it will be fine if we keep posting in this thread cause it will make it stronger, people will not get in to this link and leave with no answer. having in mind that is already indexed in google and many other search engines ...
The guy that I criticized was addressing the OP directly. I was just pointing out to him that the OP hadn't even visited this site in two years, so there's little chance that he cares to know the answer to this question anymore, or that he will even read this. I don't think my comments were out of line...
I have done the tranny swap in my lude. I put an H23 (lude si) tranny into my vtec lude and also put in a JDM H22 at the same time. In a CRX I would recommend using the H23 tranny because with a car that light 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd with the H22 tranny would be almost useless because you would be spinning the tires through all 3 gears. With the H23 tranny, there's not a whole lot of difference in 2nd but 3rd is definatley taller. Not to mention it will do 105 mph at 7200 rpm and top speed is around 145-150 mph and I can vouch for that. I just think in a car that light, you'd get more use out of the H23 tranny even on slicks. The one thing you made need to do would be get a Vtec controller and set the vtec to engage around 4500-4800 rpm because if I'm not right at redline in 2nd gear when I shift to 3rd, my revs end up around 4600 rpm. The stock vtec set up engages at 5200 rpm. Once again, just some knowledge from someone who is running the H22a H23 tranny setup in a lude.Sorry, it will be posted soon. Until then, check the forums, there have been 347384349 questions on how to do any LS/VTEC.
I don't see why you couldn't use an OBD2 head on an OBD1 block, but you're going to have to modify the wiring harness to make the combination work. Make sure you match OBD's between the head and the car though.

so , bottom line ?
H23 with H22 head will need ...
h22 head gasket
h22 timing belt , tensioner , and water pump
take out the oil restrictor .
correct or not sure at all ?
thanks

Thanks for sharing. It's greatI have been doing research about this frankinstein motor build up and I am planning on doing this soon. I have asked various people and they said that the h22 head gasket is the one you want to use Im not sure myself but this is what I have heard and the oil passages are the same. You will need to remove a few oil plugs here and there and that should allow the oil to flow like a h22 vtec should. I recommend using the h22a tranny since the gear ratio is shorter if you are building for 1/4 mile. If you are going for top speed use the h23 same bolt pattern. Hope that helps..
