H22A Swap ?'s - Honda Prelude Forum

Guys, I have a problem, a serious problem. My 93 Si, well, she's dead. I need to replace what's under her hood with a VTEC. My question is this: is it hard to do a swap yourself? I think that the hardest part will be disconnecting the tranny and axles. Am I right? My friend and I were going to attempt it ourselves.

here is a writeup PreludeRacer023 wrote up. He did the Si->Vtec swap himself and wrote up every little detail and bolt he came across.

I guess if you are mechanically inclined it should go well with one or 2 other buddies helping...I would go for it

Eh, how did u make out with the wing by the way?

Its not that hard to do a motor swap. Just a matter of having the right tools to do it.

What tools would I need?
