Take out the ATTS unit, get an LSD, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and money. I have an SH and while it is cool to say, wanting to swap to have the ATTS ability IMO is not worth it. Like other people have said I think you best bet would be to part out the broken SH. Order a JDM H22 get 220bhp order a LSD, and be pwnin beeches. If you dont wanna do that take out the ATTS unit and just drop the H22 into your base.

You could easily and more affordably get a JDM H22 with an OEM LSD trans then just buying the motor and adding a LSD to the USDM base trans. Also swapping the H22A4 from the SH into the base car isnt going to happen because of differences in the blocks.

I think he's in a pinch that's going to hurt him no matter which way he goes. If he can put off doing all this until he can sell off the good parts from the SH donor car it will work out best for him. I'm thinking you could find a solid used USDM base motor these days for not too much money which might work best if he's in a money and time crunch.

Hi,

I know you need a car quickly and so do I.
I have a dead SH engine and a good low millage base model engine.
You have a dead base model engine and a good SH engine.
I have an SH car and need an SH engine. You have a base model car and need a base model engine. Is there any way you want to swap engines? or work something else out that solves both our problems. Please email me back if this interests you at all because I think it would help both of us out greatly. Thanks

So followingmortis is already to far into his swap to want to switch engines with me so it looks like I'm going to have to do the swap as well. My swap however is the other direction. I have a SH car with a complete base model engine (including the tranny). What would I have to do to make this swap work? I know the front end is different between the two models so what would I have to do to my SH front end to make the Base model engine and tranny work? I think I need an intermediate shaft to replace the old atts in the sh? What else would I need? base model axles? Has anyone done this swap? This is my first swap so I'm wondering how difficult its going to be? Thanks for any info you can give me!

I was just surfing the net to see if I could fit an SH setup into a base and it seems too much trouble. Ihave a low milage Engine and Trany with the ATTS and need a base h22 Engine and Trany for my 97 prelude. I would be willing to trade.

I only have the base model engine. No tranny. Does this still work for you? PM me with the details on your engine. What year? where did you get it? how many miles? Thanks so much for the response! I appreciate it!

Guys if you are talking personal for sale stuff, please take it to PM. Don't discuss FS/WTB stuff in the tech threads.
