[RBS]

money, duh

[big mac]

There is fabrication needed. And it's cheaper thank a k. U can do it for like 4k

[blown_ss]

everything looks good. the hardest thing is to find the right tranny.

[big mac]

yeah man. bc the only manuals are 6 speed. i dont think im gonna do it bc i got good dyno numbers today on this setup

[blown_ss]

yeah you already have a nice set up. it would still be nice to feel that v6.

[Black4DrEK]

Custom Fabrication...

True.


yeah man. bc the only manuals are 6 speed. i dont think im gonna do it bc i got good dyno numbers today on this setup

Also. just curious whats making you lean towards the J swap? Would you ride with the No hood shit, or get the mounts that make your oil pan 2 inches from the Ground?

Im sure your H feels damn good..

[big mac]

accualy i was just getting a dam good deal on a j32a3 but desided to pass it up. i would of rock the first gen mounts and rocked cut hood. just like to give everything a try. my set up made 259whp and 230tq. some im happy with it

[Black4DrEK]

Yea I hear ya...

Thats some good numbers... I know there is a Thread in here with your setup.. But what all is done to your H.. To get that power? That is on spray correct?

^ stock H22A, with Kidd Header, Skunk2 Mani, 70 mm, Short ram Intake...

[big mac]

thats good man. im thinking exhaust might be tobig for na but good for the nitrous

[Black4DrEK]

Is it full straight pipe? If not, you might want some back pressure....

And the full 3 inch.. should be fine.. It wil support more mods with the 2.2 .. and yes the Nitrous

[big mac]

straight pipe it just has a magnaflow resinator. gonna be doing hondata s3 with a 100 shot to control everything better

[Black4DrEK]

Shit man.. well GL with everything in the future..

I might be building a H22A, If I dont build another R motor.

[big mac]

im prob gonna start building a single on boost or a all motor c1. just on the side

[Starrfire]

go to www.j32a.com

there is a lot more to those swaps than meets the eyes. For instance the auto and manual engines have significant differences in the timing belt side of the engine and how the ecu reads cam timing to crank timing. The gears and backing plates are different. Also you need a manual harness and a lot of sensors like one that reads marks on the flywheel also. So my best advice is get a full manual swap that hasn't been broken apart so you get everything.

if im not mistaken a tranny out of a 2003-2004 accord/tl is what u need to look for

[big mac]

that or the type s cl which has the lsd

[Starrfire]

any 03+ accord will do you. Technically you can use any of them but it sure does complicate things if you use a really new one from a tl.

[AV8ter]

There is fabrication needed. And it's cheaper thank a k. U can do it for like 4k

BULLL SHIT.

[Starrfire]

^^^You can do the swap for 4k, the fabrication part is that there is none. Just wiring and mounts and then the issue of the hood to deal with.
