Yes this is possible. The M2S4 is the stock transmission for a 4th generation Si. It was originally only mated to the H23a1 in the USDM Preludes from 1992-1996. According to this chart (Prelude Tranny Codes & Gear Ratios), however, it was also used in some JDM Preludes (SiR) which had an H22a motor. The USDM 5th generation Prelude (all of them) had the H22a4 motors. These are essentially the same as the JDM H22a, so this proves that it is possible to mate a transmission from an H23a1 to an H22a or H22a4.

As to why your VTEC is not working, I would guess that it is a wiring issue due to a poorly done swap. Since your car originally was wired for a non-vtec motor, it likely still has the ECU from the H23a1. If it did get a new ECU, it would have been best to get the OBDI ECU from the H22a1 (USDM '93-'95 VTEC Preludes). It may have gotten the OBDII ECU from the H22a4 (USDM '97-'01 Preludes). I would first suggest you find out which ECU your car has. From there, you can try to figure out if it is a compatibility or wiring issue...or both.

The ECU i have is the P13 (93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Vtec) and i have traced the "custom" wiring job to the appropriate connections and it does look like Stevie Wonder wired this thing up while he was hammered, but i see no major problems with it. Is it possible that the vss sensor in the 92 transmission is not compatable with the 97 vtec motor?

i had the same problem with the vtec not working. If your speedometer is not working then vtec will not as well. The car just thinks your in neutral and not moving. Here is a thread that might help you if you get your speedo working and vtec is still not engauging. The Official "Why VTEC doesn't Engage" Thread - Honda-Tech

I n a series of letters, Robert Walton, the captain of a ship bound for the North Pole, recounts to his sister back in England the progress of his dangerous mission. Successful early on, the mission is soon interrupted by seas full of impassable ice. Trapped, Walton encounters Victor Frankenstein, who has been traveling by dog-drawn sledge across the ice and is weakened by the cold. Walton takes him aboard ship, helps nurse him back to health, and hears the fantastic tale of the monster that Frankenstein created.


Victor first describes his early life in Geneva. At the end of a blissful childhood spent in the company of Elizabeth Lavenza (his cousin in the 1818 edition, his adopted sister in the 1831 edition) and friend Henry Clerval, Victor enters the university of Ingolstadt to study natural philosophy and chemistry. There, he is consumed by the desire to discover the secret of life and, after several years of research, becomes convinced that he has found it.

Armed with the knowledge he has long been seeking, Victor spends months feverishly fashioning a creature out of old body parts. One climactic night, in the secrecy of his apartment, he brings his creation to life. When he looks at the monstrosity that he has created, however, the sight horrifies him. After a fitful night of sleep, interrupted by the specter of the monster looming over him, he runs into the streets, eventually wandering in remorse. Victor runs into Henry, who has come to study at the university, and he takes his friend back to his apartment. Though the monster is gone, Victor falls into a feverish illness.

Sickened by his horrific deed, Victor prepares to return to Geneva, to his family, and to health. Just before departing Ingolstadt, however, he receives a letter from his father informing him that his youngest brother, William, has been murdered. Grief-stricken, Victor hurries home. While passing through the woods where William was strangled, he catches sight of the monster and becomes convinced that the monster is his brother’s murderer. Arriving in Geneva, Victor finds that Justine Moritz, a kind, gentle girl who had been adopted by the Frankenstein household, has been accused. She is tried, condemned, and executed, despite her assertions of innocence. Victor grows despondent, guilty with the knowledge that the monster he has created bears responsibility for the death of two innocent loved ones.

WTF? Thanks for the possibly fictional and irrelevant history lesson!
