Swap Complete!!! - Honda Prelude Forum

Well almost! It took me almost 16 hours to do my H22 swap. Not too shabby. I broke the knock sensor, so I have to get one at the dealer tomorrow. It started up an idled very smooth though. I have yet to drive it. I can't wait! I noticed my tach is not working, does anyone know why that is?

damn knock sensor, that thing broke on me too but not in a swap. costs sooo much to replace too, for what seems like a bolt....

I did it with the help of a friend who is a mechanic. My brother owns a shop, so I had lifts and all everything I needed. That really made the job easier. Its nice to have a garage and mechanics at my disposal!

Anybody know anything about why my tach isn't working?

Oh..I didn't answer your question. I really don't know fo any real big problems (other than the knock sensor). The hardest(or longest part) was doing all the swapping from H23 to the H22 motor, Like the wiring and things.

I do live in SoCali... Sub, PM me w/ the info on your car, so I can look for it, as I've honestly seen more and more 4th Gens showing up around the region of LA where I live.
