JDM type S H22a on a 4th gen... - Honda Prelude Forum

1SlicK_LudE · 10-08-2003, 10:04 PM

Is it a direct swap? Im thinking of getting it for my car cause my USDM motor might be gone. Is it just like dropping a JDM h22a for our cars? Im getting it for a pretty sweet price. $2300 CDN asking price. Which is about $1700+ American. ^-^
He claims theres 72K on it. I wanna know if this is viable? anyone?

VERRRRYYYY highly doubt its a Type-S for that price, no matter the miles. Make SURE you verify its a real Type-S by measuring the TB or something

Kid here in Tampa paid over 5k for his EuroR motor + install and he pulls 14.8's in the 1320... waste of money imo. Buy a jdm h22a, throw on some bolt onts and run low 14's and still have a few grand in the bank.

there is or was a member that had that swap. direct swap. but for that price you better veriffy that it is a real TYPE s

Isn't the type-s mtor equipped with the ATTS tranny? that sure wont work. . .

I know it is real type S.. with my own two eyes. It came off a front clip of a JDM lude. Anyways I didnt ask if anybody thought it was real or not. I asked if its a direct swap. thanx

BTW the thing with the ATTS tranny... yeah its just a long block... no tranny or anything. Thats why I asked on here if its a direct swap...

OH you're going to be the victim of OBD2

attilude93 · 10-10-2003, 07:38 PM

No, if he uses his ecu and distributor, then he will still be OBDI.

Qveon · 10-10-2003, 11:19 PM

won't that change his fuel/air curve and engine protection settings?

yeah a long block with a ATTS Specific block. You are going to have to do some custom fabrication to fit a base tranny to it.

And you need to use your OBDI distributor and an OBDI disributor.

How do you know it'a type-s with your own eyes? Other than a red valve cover there are only a couple things that would tell you that. Did the clip have a type-s intake or something?

Hope this helps.

You know that aswell as the Type S, there was the SIR S Spec again producing 220ps, but using a real LSD gearbox. These car's often get confused as being Type S cars. I think I'd rather have one of these though.

True, it's often referred to as the type-s. But if someone's going to say hey I can get a Type-S motor I can't assume that cause then they will buy it and when they realie they are screwed and have to do all this work they come back crying. So I can't assume.

I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't have said what you said - when it comes to stuff like this I wouldn't expect anybody to assume anything.

I was just mentioning the S Spec in case this guy wasn't aware of its existence - then maybe he could try to confirm which one it really is, and based on the difficulties you explained about using the Type S motor - he could make an informed decision.

Peace

actually I've confirmed it with Honda... Its from a 97 SiR Prelude. I knew it came from a front clip of a 97 lude. Cause I saw the whole clip... Anyways... As it turns out I wont need an engine. 57K Pretty damn good. Its just the long block for the previously mentioned price. Everything else from the front clip was already sold. =O

The reason why I said it was a Type S engine was cause I thought only Type S engines put out that much. And I KNOW it came from a JDM right hand drive 5th gen. Sorry for the mistake. ^-^

Satan_SRV · 10-11-2003, 03:15 AM

Just a 97 SiR? In that case it's not a type-s. If it was a SiR S-spec yes.

Easy way is to check the tranny code, if it says m2b4 you're in the good.

That's a 4th gen tranny code, we're talking about 5th gen engines, the Sir S-Spec tranny code is different.
