Swapping h22 into 2.0 5g prelude

akiragost · Post by **akiragost** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 12:33 am

So as per title, I used to have a prelude vti many years ago, have a 350z now which I'm selling up and getting a prelude again. I spotted a 5g 2.0 prelude, and was wondering what is necessary for a swap for h22a5? Anyone know what garages or people even from here who could do it for me at a price? What kind of costs am I looking at?

Not only the engine you need to swap, but you will need the brake conversion too.

And why H22A5?? You can go for the more powerful H22A8 (197bhp)

H22a8 more tricky to find =(

does it need vtec part of the loom on the 2.0i

should be pretty simple to wire in anyway

Engine
ECU
Engine bay wiring loom (think the vtec wire is already there from the ecu to the engine bay)
You can keep your old gearbox or swap that at with the engine (different ratio's)

Also front discs, pads and calipers, as nitin has said.

If you're looking to pay a garage to do it, that would be at least a days labour, so by the time you've bought the car, the parts and then paid out for the swap to be done for you, you'd have been better off buying a vtec 5th gen in the first place I'd have thought.

That's unless the 2.0 you've seen is an absolute minter of course and you can't find a vtec one that's as good, but I'd be surprised? There are plenty of vtec 5th gens out there to choose from still.

Is he throwing his car away?

Or pursuit for JDM Lude has got him itching...

i think he's realise preludes are bum droppings so going for something decent, like a civic
