How much and why do u say u have an SH

SSAccuracy · 02-07-2002, 06:20 PM

I think it's because he used an SH tranny which means he used an SH ECU, the brain!

JaseJ · 02-07-2002, 07:25 PM

ya but it isn't really a SH until you have ATTS

Your from Diamond Bar? Where did you get it done? This will be my next "mod" Do you have AIM?

How did you manage to get the tranny to bolt up to a auto engine? Because even the base 5spd and the SH have diffrent mounting points on the block. So I'm sure the auto would be diffrent from the SH too,not saying that it couldn't be done I'm just wondering HOW it was done!

The only swaps I've heard or read about was auto ->base 5spd.

And no I'm not calling

I'm just curious.

ok
costed 3000 for everthing. but that was because i worked at an insurance company and found a total'd 99 sh. the entire front end was

but the tranny was

it took 6 weeks because the guy who did it . dr charles @ atomic performace in fullerton , never did any swap like this before.

yes i have atts and the full sh set up. i had to get alot of stuff custom on it becuase the bottom end of the sh and base are different.

the hard thing is to find a complete set up for 5 gen. you can use a set up from a 4 gen but there is so many problems i tried it.

i ran a jdm sir ecu

omg its so dope runs so much better than a usdm ecu.

i currently have a jdm sh ecu. not much different than a us ecu. but you can tweak it a little more

as far as a swap i have buddy who did work on my ride who can do it. if any are you are serious send me a message and i will give you my cell # . im n so cali

hmm are you the same guy who had his car featured on Sport Compact Cars like 1-2 years ago.

About some guy who swapped out his auto for a manual. I remember it saying that he used to race and run NOS. But his gears started slipping, so he decided to get a swap to manual from atomic-performance?

i remember that article. it was a black 5gen with rs kit who did a swap right. damn it would be coo if this is the same guy.

pearl type sh · 02-08-2002, 04:53 PM

yes its me...
and its not black
its the pearl green color

prelude19 · 02-08-2002, 04:59 PM

o yeah it was green. i just looked it up. anyways nice. so u did the whole swap huh. u didnt get a hook up on the install though right, just on the parts. the article is kinda funny. i was saying how u lost to all your friends car but after the swap u smoked all of them lol.

MaxVtec99 · 02-08-2002, 05:06 PM

Damn yoors was 3000, how much do you think it would be for the regular auto to base 5speed be???

JaseJ · 02-08-2002, 06:06 PM

lol nice nice

hey someone scan the article.. we should archive it

you have any pics of your car pearl type sh?

sgvprelude · 02-08-2002, 11:48 PM

$3000? dayam thats a grip. how much would it be just for a changeover just using a base 5sp?

KulSecHskY · 02-08-2002, 11:56 PM

Oh ****, your that guy! Man your the guy who first did the auto manual swap. I got the idea from you, never thought it could be done. I have like 20 pictures of you ride. So where exactly do you live in diamond bar? anywhere near DBHS or do you live towards pomona more?

pearl type sh · 02-11-2002, 03:10 PM

ya i live in diamond bar. any one who is down to meet call me up. i would love to help out fellow lude owners.

ok as for the questions. the ss to base 5 spd change over would cost allmost as much. the hardest is to find the complete set up. that the main problems..you can find a motor and trans from a 4th gen all day long.

but to find a complete set up for a 5th gen is the issue.
i can refer you to a buddy who did mine and he can find one.

if any of you local luders are interested call me up
