F20a (UK Spec) to H22a swap - Honda Prelude Forum

ventnor_boy · 07-02-2010, 11:09 AM

Hi guys, i'm a newbie to Preludes so please excuse me if I ask any stupid questions. If this has been covered before, can someone just direct me to the threads.

I'm jumping right in at the deep end, and today I bought two Preludes! One is a UK spec 2.0i non-vtec, and the other is a Jap-import 2.2 Vtec which is sold as spares or repairs. Both 94's. The import is whole, so has the H22a and all ancillaries.
So, I want to do the engine swap into my UK car as soon as poss! I will be swapping the engine, loom, ecu and gearbox.
Is this pretty straight forward? What do I need to bear in mind when doing the conversion?
Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks

I'll buy your EDM 2.0 motor..what do you want for it?

and oh yeah you can do the conversion easy. It's very similar to the F22A1 to any of the H conversions.

£120 + postage and its yours mate, unless you can pick up? 109k, fully standard.

Have you done a conversion before? I was thinking that it may be easier to drop the whole subframe out of both cars, and then lower my uk car over the H22a and lift it into position. Then connect everything up and the jobs a goodun.
Sould like a good plan? Or a bad one?!
