Ok.. so my buddy blew up his engine a few weeks ago.. and being the stubborn fool he is.. he JUST had to have a h22 installed... and a JDM to boot. So he got the engine.. but theres a few problems..
1) The JDM exhaust manifold wont bolt up to his exhaust flange on his 92 prelude. What can i do to remedy this? Should i just find a skilled fabricator to conjure something up for me?
2) He needs a VTEC ecu.. but everywhere he goes.. asking for a p13 odb1 ecu.. people tell him they need to know the rest of the numbers before they can locate one for him.. but all of the people ive talked to.. said he doesnt need to know anything more then -- p13/obd1-- wtf is up with that?
3) Not only being a fool.. hes impatient... and so is his dad.. so instead of letting me do my research on the engine.. and find out everything im gonna need to have done this swap... he just paid some guy he found at a junkyard to do it. Doesnt really know what hes doing... but said he did.. All he did was yank the old engine out.. and drop the new one in.. got stumped.. and now its in my hands.
4) Will the stock throttle body of the USDM h23 mate up to the JDM h22?
5) Once he locates the proper ECU.. im told hes needs to wire the engine for vtec and a knock sensor... what is the best way to go about doing this?
6) In refference to question number 1... will the h23 stock exhaust manifold bolt up to the h22?(He went out and bought a new manifold for the h22... i wanted to beat him with it.. seeing as how it was a useless purchase and a waste of money.. damn spoiled brats.)
I know this is alot of shit to answer... but ANY help would be greatly appreciated.. i need to get this show on the road... and get him behind the wheel again... so he can blow this engine and i get to tinker with his car again
