H22 EJ6 project

[A1ex]

I've been a busy boy the last few weeks;

Went from a broken civic on the drive to a broken prelude and a broken civic, to a civic without a motor, then a civic and a prelude without a motor then a civic with a prelude motor

the little civic d16y7



the empty lude



Was a PITA to get the passenger side drive shaft and intermediate shaft out. The lude is too close to the wall to drop the suspension and pull the hub away with the shaft so had to take the drivers side shaft out and move the engine away from the passenger side instead. I didn't realise how tight the fit of the H22 was in the lude.

The h22a8 in the civic



I've used innovative engine mounts, means the bonnet can be close without shims which is a big plus. Checked the clearance yesterday and there's a good inch or two of space.

Down side, the power steering pump doesn't fit & the AC compressor doesn't fit. So from now on, power steering and ac are for girls

Most of the wiring is done, just need to swap the alternator wires from the civic ones to the lude ones (civic had alternator on the back of the engine), put the custom drive shafts (Yonaka) into the ek9 hubs (282mm brakes) and re assemble with the ek9 front shocks.

I need to source a couple of parts tho, hoping someone can help;

Need to find someone to make a customer fuel line, the ones I've got are too short as the prelude line is on the wrong side of the rail and the civic rail doesn't fit. Any ideas?

Also need to source an alternator only belt as the standard one includes the A/C which doesn't fit, again any ideas?

try the MR-S Roadster electric power steering pump...i'm running one on my h22-converted EJ9...the pump is just lovely

Keep toying with doing something like this to use up all the prelude parts I have in the garage

[EG_H22]

Best thing you done was fit that smashing H into a civic mate you wont be dissapointed. Need any advice let me know (even though you prob wont lol) all i will say is you shouldve gone h2b though instead of the full H but then again you had the whole running gear.
Once your done will be good to meet as my h2b is up and running now .

Yonaka driveshafts are known for snapping due to the quality but are rated for atleast 250. Unless other tuners wanted me to go for hasport and what not just to get more money from me lol.

Keep it up pal

[A1ex]

Cheers bud.

I did think about h2b but as the civic was a D series originally so I'd have to buy a B series box and shafts along with the h2b kit so would have cost quite a bit more. Plus not really keen on the bonnet shim option.

Nearly up an running now, having some trouble with starting it tho

got some more pics;





Tight fit on the slave cylinder;













Just need to hang the exhuast & get the motor to start then it's the tidying up

[EG_H22]

Mine shuts fine mate and bonnet raisers wouldve sorted that problem out too lol.
Im back at mine tomorrow hopefully as i took it out the engine for wee spray. Best bit is when you here it running

Took the civic for an MOT today.

Barely got started

The station said it's not complete enough to test. As most of the power steering stuff is there but it doesn't work that's a fail unless I remove all P/S parts and change the rack etc. So I need to get it working, @Cutz @mercutio the mr-s power steering pump was suggested, could you point me in the direction of one? Also, what wiring needs to be done? I'd like to get it sorted by the end of the week if I can as the temp insurance runs out on Saturday, any help would be appreciated.

Also, where would it be mounted?

[Cutz]

Wiring diagram is online mate all you need is a heavy duty relay to switch it on.

Get the pig tails for the pump if u can.

As for lines, youll need a low pressure return and a single high pressure line.

Its really easy
