Part 4: H22 Prelude Engine Swap Into a 90-93 Honda Accord CB7 CB9

[@nuisynth]

I'm currently working on getting everything situated for my H swap in my wagon now and the amount of detail that you went into is unmatched. Amazing video! Glad I subscribed ☺

[@randomrebuilds]

Thanks - if there is anything in particular you'd like to see in upcoming videos, feel free to post your suggestions or questions...

[@MrDedwardk]

what's mpg difference expected ? of any I've been thinking of this of course too but dont wanna give up my mpg at 5.50 a gallon 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@nuisynth]

@@MrDedwardk biggest thing is the f22a you have now is fine on lower octane. However, the usdm and jdm h22's are best kept at 91 or 93. Higher octane = higher resistance to detonation. Detonation is bad when you're spinning at over 8000 rpm's 👍

[@KMBRIZZ]

YESSSSSS i been looking for a step by step of this process! thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@blacksongoku312]

This build is definitely coming in handy for when I F20B swap my CB7. Keep up the good work man!

[@kingkracker1334]

I'm starting my swap tomorrow and your real good at explaining the right way I'm kind of a hand's on learner so you're video is awesome do you mind sending me a link with all 4 parts I'm going to use your video as a full on how to

[@chrisgallegos9879]

Was wondering I’m doing on my good buddies cb7 I’m doing the f23 swap tho but that harness your using could be the same to connect on the original auto from the relay box nice work saw all the process videos I myself guided myself with them keep it up boss men

[@domingorivas5186]

I love you to work on my 91 wagon it needs work keep up the hard work be safe 😷🤓👍

[@jermiahromero6545]

I just had a question. Could you not just use the F22 oil sensor? Save you from having to cut and modify the harness?

[@BackgroundMusicZone]

Awesome job my friend! Really great info.👍

[@excaliburO2]

It would have been a great time to clean out the egr ports before you installed the intake manifold.

[@b20banthony909]

How do I wire my reverse lights but looks for a d.l.y but can find one

[@cbdreamer1709]

Awesome video. Thanks bud

[@antoniocruz9259]

Great video and can u tell me where do u get the distributor and all u gaskets

[@randomrebuilds]

Thanks! Distributor was from ebay and the gaskets are from Hondapartsguys.com

[@antoniocruz9259]

@@randomrebuilds thanks and good job I’m gonna watch u new video today👍

[@obinnaanthony6666]

How about the knock sensor connector

[@林根億]

你們的H22A引擎分電盤藍色那條線皆在那是何作用 為何我沒有接納條線 我是雅歌六代 自排改手排

[@fastlanegaming2000]

My 90 accord doesn’t have the external coil connector so I have the wrong harness

[@jermiahromero6545]

What distributor did you use? I can't see to find one with an external coil set up?

[@randomrebuilds]

I purchased mine off ebay. I believe 93-96 Prelude VTEC is what you want.

[@JCartagena8989]

Awesome video exactly what i had to do

[@rickyaragon4055]

Im doing the same build on my 92 cb7 the auto to manual conversion with the h22a4 swap. But I was wondering if I can use a engine harness from a 94 accord?

[@manuelbeltran8119]

super cool vid

[@Jshu7676]

I need to see how your gonna do the power steering pump. Right now I'm using my f22a6 power steering pump and it hits the hood. I wanna put the h22 on but not quite sure how to connect it to the rack

[@randomrebuilds]

You're going to have to go back a few episodes. I covered the modifications needed to make onto the power steering hose.

[@orlandomorales6565]

I use the h22 one and the prelude line hade to bend a little

[@JoMoCa]

I reworded my car it was cranking before but no start. No spark to negative coil wire. Now the engine doesn’t crank and floods? What connections did I do wrong?

[@randomrebuilds]

Sounds like a tough one. The only wire I messed with was the oil pressure extension. The knock, VTEC was added separately into the ECU pigtail.

[@JoMoCa]

@@randomrebuilds I will rewatch your video and see which connections I messed up

[@GeorgiaBoi706]

Can you please help me? I have a 1990 cb7 and i wanting to swap but i need to know what engine can i use. From what I’m reading the 1990 accord was obd0

[@randomrebuilds]

Any 90-93 Accord F22 engine is a direct drop in replacement. Although there is a slight variation with the EX having 140hp which might need the EX ECU. Now if you want to swap to a completely different engine - H22 from a 92-96 Prelude would be the easiest route. I was converting an OBD2 engine during this process.

[@metsrock15]

Will you have to weld the passenger side mount for the manual transmission?

[@randomrebuilds]

On the transmission prep video, I installed a special mount that has an offset which requires no cutting/welding of the frame rail bracket.

[@metsrock15]

@@randomrebuilds in other words it bolts to the automatic trans mount that’s different then the manual trans mount by like 1.25 inches (or something like that). The innovative trans mount makes it possible to use the automatic passenger. Because I plan on doing this to my cb9 and that’s the one thing that sorta deters me. Thanks for the quick response. Your videos are legendary and very thorough thank you so much. All of us watching can see the effort you put into this.

[@metsrock15]

@@randomrebuilds found what I’m looking for thank you

[@randomrebuilds]

@@metsrock15 Thanks. Yeah basically the automatic frame rail mount on the automatic equipped CB7/9s stay where its at, and once you bolt on the Innovative 5spd conversion mount, everything will be good to go. ESP was known to make that mount too, but think they are out of business.

[@joeysmith442]

@ random builds, do you have any recommendations on what shop can do an H23A swap on my 1993 CB7 coupe, from A to Z? My F22 just now gave out.

[@rickyaragon4055]

Ok well what about the distributor which one did you use

[@randomrebuilds]

92-95 Prelude VTEC OBD1 distributor

Where can I get one of those cb7 shirts you are wearing in the intro??????

[@janprasad8651]

Im doing a swap on 93 cb7.got complete 2000 h22a4 with tranny and ECU. All from h22a4. Will this work?

[@randomrebuilds]

ECU you will need a P13 or chipped P28

[@emanence5]

Which Ecu are you going to using?

[@randomrebuilds]

P13 from a 92-96 'Lude

[@andrewnooney8283]

@@randomrebuilds 92-95 technically. 96 was OBD2.

[@andrewnooney8283]

When I did my auto to manual swap and then my subsequent f20b swap I used the automatic transmission connectors for other sensors. I.e. my reverse switch and my VTEC wiring. I figured there were already wires that went through my firewall with the harness to the TCU so I used them like wiring highways to do what I wanted them to do. Still gotta watch you VTEC wiring video but I love all your videos so far. Keep up the good work.

[@chasecundiff6525]

What crank pulley did you use?
