Rite basically... I had my del sol / turbo conversion... had it running for a week an dunno whats wrong with it it fucked up an bin like it for months i dont have a clue why it isn't working....

so... i also have a prelude an want my del sol working. i've managed to get my hands on some Engine Mounts + Axels(driveshafts)...

All i need now is... info.. i can do simple mechanics/electrics i just need to know is there any other parts i need to buy before i try starting my conversion? and is there any tips/hints on tricky bits before i start scratching my head in a weeks time????

would love some info here guys.... thanks

shifter cables and a shifter box
and passanger side mount will have to be cut, and the pre drilled hole
will be bored out a tad to fit the bolt size.
wiring is pretty easy. just extending wires is all it consist of.
and if you are using a p13 then you'll be throwing a few codes such as knock sensor and egr valve.

If it was factory B16a it should have a knock sensor already, but egr could be an issue. I would swap to an aftermarket i/m and chip the B16 ecu with a stock H22 program that eliminates EGR and secondary IAB.

you sir are headed the right direction

and the hole having a b16 swap completely left my mind when i was typing that lol

Could help to have a bit more info on his exact model/motor setup too...more info up front, better & more accurate advice can be given.

his had a 94 vx eg hatch with h22a swap. the wiring is pretty straight foward. You can just lay your harness out on the motor and see which ones you will need to extend. mainly your altenator, your injector clips will need to be made longer. both dizzy wires i made longer. idk if they have came out with different mounts for h22 swaps where you dont have to cut the passanger side mount in 92-95 body styles, but we used enjo mounts and had to cut his mount ears off and then drill that hole bigger out thats already pre tapped. used integra axles, with a prelude intermidate shaft. we had to trim his fan shroud a tad. Really its pretty easy swap
