since the interior of a automatic car is different than one of a manual, will i have to buy the new center console for the manual transmission?

It's not neccesary to swap out dashes, just a cosmetic option.

Does anyone have any idea if it is or not. Or does anyone know of anywhere that I might be able to find this information. Thank you for any help that you can give.

It is possible to pass emissions... thou you need to hookup everything properly, and might have to use the stock airbox. Some guys have gotten a CARB sticker for the motor... thou I hear they might crack down on allowing CARB testing of imported motors. Just a rumor I've heard... anyone know the latest?

I got a question this was my plan i was going to get a h22 j-spec 220 hp and turbo that the only problem is torque will be demolished but crazy high hp right which is cool for every day driving i mean i dont need torque but get a 75 shot of venom to race and use that to spool up the turbo once that happens, peace, see ya later. Or should i super charge it then us the nitrous on top end to make up for the supercharger. I hope i wouldnt need tell sell a kidney to do this so tell me which h engine with F.I. would e the best while keeping me the way god intended.

Maybe you are a newbie... the JDM H22A TypeS has high compression pistons to get that 220HP, not a pretty thing for high turbo boost. Torque and HP are the same thing, you can't have one w/o the other. You won't have as much low end power as you will high end w/ the turbo, but that doestn mean you lose low end power.

And yea, that NAWZ stuff will help... only plan a turbo/nitrious setup if you really want to go all out drag racing... and even then, maybe you should consider a CRX/Civic/Integra.

sakdpimp · 03-01-2002, 10:25 PM

Actually its not that it is not pretty its just you can't run high boost on a high compression engine. Im not going all out at least not trying to. I might be a newbie but i am not stupid about cars.

v4lu3s · 03-02-2002, 05:27 AM

yeah you can run boost on a high compression engine...you just ahve to have that much better tuning skill. means you eitehr boost very little or spend a LOT on dyno time. the lower the compression the more room you have for error in y our tuning.

sakdpimp · 03-02-2002, 07:30 AM

Yeah, the higher you go the more chance of messin up the engine so I would stay with low boost.

sakdpimp · 03-02-2002, 07:33 AM

Plus if you throw any h or f into a civic/crx/integra the wieght of the engine will give you over steer no problem for draging but can't drive a car with over steer everyday.

cryogen97 · 03-02-2002, 02:43 PM

If I had no budget to deal with, I'd get a JDM h22a (200hp): port and polish it, lower the compression with forged pistons and rods, T3/T4 turbo. The torque will be lost a little because of the lower compression, but you could boost the hell out of it and lay the smack down after 3500 rpm or so. If you wanted a bit of reliability with that too, then do a two stage nitrous setup. About 25 shot From 1000 to 3500 rpm, then a 50-75 shot above 3500. You'll spin the turbo up faster and fill up the spare headroom with the 2nd stage nitrous.

For a daily driver, torque is more important than hp. You don't see hp until you're near redline. Torque is what gets you off the line and gets you to redline faster.

sakdpimp · 03-02-2002, 02:49 PM

I know torque is what gets you off the line but to go to school i don't need to fly off the line so for daily driving i can care less its when i go to china town for the weekend to smoke those suckers.

Does anyone know the differences between the US version and the JDM versions? I have heard that swapping in a JDM engine is more difficule because different things like sensors are different which would make the US part not able to fit. I also have heard that wiring the engine in is more difficult since it was installed into a right hand drive car.

Does anyone know if this is true?

v4lu3s · 03-02-2002, 07:09 PM

i have a 93 jdm h22a in m2 92 lx wagon...
the wiring is diff, but the sensors are the same as US...basically you can go and get a US h22 harness...but most people will take thei accord harness and modify it with parts from the jdm h22 harness to fit their car. this entails adding 5 wires and a few plugs to make it work.
DONT waste your money on a place racing harness. the one that is in my car sucks ass.

Your info. is very much appreciated. I need to know some information. I wanted to know if you can help me find a certain engine that I have had my eye on for a long time. Do you know where I can find an Accord Type-R engine? I would also like to know if you know the specifc specs that this engine would put out? For example Hp, Torque, and if you know at what Rpm this car would redline at? I was told that this specific engine is named h22a4, is that true? If you also know how much this engine will cost I would appreciate it. I thank you ahead of time, this is the essential part that i need to put my dream car together.

the h22a4 is a US market 1997 and newer prelude engine.
the accord type-r has an h22a engine...it would be identical to any OBD2 Japanese market h22a...200hp at 7200rpm redline around 7500-7800, max torque around 156-160 lb/ft...
however if you are referring to the engine found in the Accord SiR then it has the F20B which is a dual overhead cam vtec 2 liter engine, it also puts out 200 hp, but has less torque than an h22...cost on those is about $3200 and up...
