The 97 Honda Prelude motor (h22a) will fit into a 2000 civic with custom mounts (available to purchase online), however you will need the h22a transmission, shift-linkage, axles, and ecu (full swap). The h22a motor will not work with the stock d-series transmission.
H22A Honda engine it ready for a turbo
Provided the '97 Prelude is a base model, then yes it is possible to swap in an H22a variant. The Prelude Type SH motor is different as the ATTS unit is connected to the motor. So, the only compatible H22a motors would be one from another Type SH, or the JDM Honda Prelude Type S motor.
Yes. The H22a and H23a motors can interchange transmissions.
why? Honda engines are meant for Honda's, so stick with your H22A. If for some reason you still wanted to do the swap some custom engine mounts along with adapters would have to be fabricated.
Provided they both share an h22a or f22a engine they should be a perfect match!
Yes, it will fit with some minor modification. Other popular swaps are the h22a1, h22a4, h22a and h23.
Max rpm / redline (often they are actually different) is not based on the car but on the engine. Prelude S (F22A1 engine) max rpm: 6250-ish Prelude VTEC (H22A engine) Redline: 7200/7600 rpm Max rpm: 7400/8000 rpm Preludes from 92- were delivered with the following engine options F20A, F22A, H23A, H22A.
Negative. The motor mounts are for a 2.2L engine only, so a K20A will not be a direct drop-in. If you are interested in doing motor swaps on a 1991 Accord, the best choice is an H22A, which comes from a 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH, but rewiring from OBDI to OBDII is a major pain. Check out www.cb7tuner.com for information on performance modification for the 4th generation Accords, which are 1990 to 1993.
Transmission Dipstick should be on the left down the bottom, it is quite hard to get to so don't attempt to reach it when your car is hot! The transmission dipstick should have a yellow handle, i have a 93 h22a Honda prelude and mine is on the drivers side right down the bottom you have to look for it quite hard, look for a yellow handle. Hope this helps.
how to make base prelude h22a engine on type sh 5 speed trans ^^^??? to answer the question. yes a sh transmission with "atts" unit will fit a base prelude (if a h22 motor is used) is it worth it? absolutely not
neither its a honda!!
