hi im a newbie to the h-series world and just bought a motor for the 93 prelude i bought. anyway i hav i few questions......
1 has anyone bought any motors from password jdm?
2 what does honda call for as for a compression test?
i know my integra is 200-210
the compression they claim and is on the packing slip is...4-230,3-235,2-240,
1-240..and i know the compression for jdm h22a is 10.6
3 where in the h*%$ do i find a haynes or chilton manuel for the prelude. i have checked all book stores and autostores and hav had no luck, but the dealership has service manual for a $100 but is two weeks out
i hav searched previous topics and only seen one for euro spec... the compression test they did seems to be not so real.......guess im just uneasy about buying a motor this way...
thnks for everyones time and sorry for the lengthy post

I think they’re an alright company. Most ppl buy them from hmotorsonline.

That sounds about right (could be a little optimistic) but with compression tests, its more a test of consistency rather than overall higher number.

Get a helms manual, hands down the best manual you can easily get your hands on.

+1, if you can't be bothered by spending $64 for a book that will allow you to tear apart your car and put it back together as well as answer 90% of all your prelude questions, then you're with the wrong crowd

when I found it I couldn't believe some took the time to scan the entire manual..... That must have taken forever.... I don't deal with printouts, I just take the laptop with me and look at it on there

lol well a laptop isn't practical the majority of the time when working on a car as your hands will probably be greasy. Does it look like someone scanned it or does it look 'official'?

It is scanned, crooked pages and what not.... But its good enough for me as I don't really have the money to buy one.... As for gettng the laptop dirty that does happen, I'm going to school for IT though so I've got alot of old computers and a few old laptops that I don't care about getting dirty.....

thanks for the info i am going to buy the haynes manual, but would the dealership service manual be better, i hav always used a helms manual to rebuild my b-series motors. nobody such as auto zone ect. could even order one. the motor seems good the only default is some of the sensors are broken. going to do a compression trst tomarrow to verify their tests. thanks anyway rigamortis but i'm going to buy the manual. but if i do need it for quick ref. before i get it i'll pm u....... thanks again to all who made me feel easier about this motor

The Haynes works pretty good as toilet paper I hear lol
Go to the Helm's site and order one. Better to just fork over the $72 + shipping now than whatever a Haynes costs plus all the frustration it will bring you. Thats just my opinion though
also i know this topic has been talked about over and over but, is the (jdm) h22a 10.6comp. 200hp and the (usdm) h22a1 10.1comp. 190hp? and if my h22a is 200hp i wouldnt think it would make that to the flywheel with the usdm ecu....am i correct, i heard that the jdm ecu has a more aggressive ignition map and no governor is this true?

Yes, you want to buy a manual and you said you've used Helms manuals before, but you're going to get a Haynes instead - contrary to everyone's suggestion lol

Imma use a metaphor, would you risk your life on a use condom from Uzbekistan or would you go get the magnum. Don't take shortcuts in life get the helms manny bro.

The 10hp comes from the higher compression. You should get 200hp at the flywheel on a USDM P13.
