Hi guys, was just wondering how hard this is going to be to drop one of these in. What are the differences in my h22a and the type s h22a or a7 fitting wise? Also can i use my lsd box from my bb4? Ecu differences?
Thanks for ur help in advance.

The engines are obviously all very similar, main issue with your question is the Type S part - I do believe there can be a few issues regarding the ATTS unit, but someone with more info will be along. (Or do a search, fairly big thread about it recently).
Other than that, should be no major headaches.
For example, I have an A8 from a late 5th gen in mine, with an ATR LSD fitted to my original gearbox.

So they will just drop in using my engine mounts?

Any H22 should drop in as far as the engine mounts go, but from what I've read you can't use the Type-S engine because the block is different (think I've remembered that right???). So if you wanted an H22A8, it would have to come from a late reg ordinary Vti.

Aside from that, the only differences if you dropped a later engine in are electrical IIRC. ODB1 / ODB2 etc.

A Type S can be fitted BUT you need an ATTS delete plate and a custom plate to use other transmissions. Alot of work.

Get a H22a7 or A8 engine. Direct swap.
Injectors are the same but the a7 obviously uses a different intake manifold etc.

If u fit the atr gbox you will have to lose the speed sensitive power steering. U cant keep the prelude vss in 4th gen.

Also injectors are different and lude ones wont fit the atr intake without mods

yup thats wrong, i need an adapter made for my atr inlet manifold so the lude injectors would fit so that i could retain the lude wiring
