Well today i decided to go to a local import shop and see if they have silicone hose couplers for my turbo project and he asks to see under my hood so i agree and he was then like "hey that accord over there has a h22 in it!" I was like NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!! Now i posted a while ago that i thought there was a h22 3gee some where in town around here but i didnt believe it until today!!!!!!! It was a 88-89 style lx converted to fi. He said it was running a few weeks ago but something went wrong not sure what though. I was so excited i busted out my cell phone and got a few pics but the camera was acting weird and wouldnt let me take the pictures so i only got 2 but non the less its a h22 in a 3gee!!!!!!!! Ill try to get more pics with a digital camera next time im over there. They had some insane cars like a S14 with a 2jz in it just sitting out front too!!!!! So add one more h22 3gee to that small list!!! I was to excited to ask how they did it i was just in aww. But next time im over there ill ask some details.
Gives hope to fellow 3geers that want to do this swap!!! He made it sound like the swap was nothing!!!
Here are the pics!!!

There was a horrible glare on the screan and i couldnt see at all, so i just practically was taking pics blind on my phone.

You can use a cable clutch on a hydro tranny pretty easily. Just make a bracket to hold the cable on the tranny and the cable will just replace the slave cylinder.
Looks like he had to do a weld job for the driver side mount (and other mounts as well I suppose)
This fit isn't that tight... I've seen worse on 92-95 civics.

ill try to get more pics some time guys. I dont know whos car it was. I know it wasnt the guy who showed me it because he didnt even know what year it was. Ill try to find out whos it is. This car honestly just sits threre in the back of there shop with all the seats full of car parts and all the windows rolled down and it looks like its just a abanded car. You would never ever think this thing had a h22 in it!!! I dont think its been driven in awhile. It wasnt running when i talked to the guy but he said it was running strong not to long ago!

I remember him saying that they used the stock carb fuel lines and they couldnt handle the pressure of F.I. (duh!!!) and they blew out and thats why it didnt run but i dont know. They said it ran good not to long ago though. Here is the number but i think its a customers car i dont really know? I know it just sits there. They did the swap for the guy but i have no idea whos car it was but you can give them a call and see what they say. They guy i talked to was cullen but i dont think he eactly new much about it but he might know more then some of the others about it. Call them up and see what they say. There name is garage works. The # is 661-538-9817 let me know what they say!

Well at least they managed to get everything else hooked up... I dunno why he'd overlook the fuel system like that... too much excitement I guess. :uh:

mr eff
04-24-2005, 06:43 PM
i emailed them and the guy quoted me 4500 for swapping an h22 into my lxi. i wrote him back asking what all was included, whether after dropping that money i'd be able to drive out of the shop or what would still need to be done.
still waiting for a response. temping stuff though!

yo whatever became of this car? if the car has been there for quite a while the garage has the right to consider it abandoned. if they do that then that also gives them the right to sell it. from the dates on this thread it has been there for a while, so they can sell it now. the only thing i'm not sure about is how you transfer title and stuff in this type of situation. you said the fuel lines were the cause of it not running now? dude, buy it and put on some new fuel hoses.
jigga89SEi
04-25-2005, 08:01 AM
The company will go through a process of getting the title then they will sign it over to the buyer...We do this at work all the time cause people don't pay there bills or military guys go out on deployment and think that we're free storage or something...

Kind of like they are doing now.
Mr.eff: Dur, don't you think they would make sure it would include everything in the quote for a rolling and running car? If a shop doesn't do that, they wouldn't be in business.
Nice car, easily fabricated mount. Saves me some time and money.

well, it's not such a retarded concern. our shop will swap engines, but from the same model and therefore there isn't anything nearly as drastic as changing mounts, fuel system delivery, on-board diagnostic ECU change, axles, transmission, clutch from cable to hydro... god knows what else is involved.
the price seemed low to me, since lots of prelude people speak of spending 2000$ on their h22's head alone. granted, they're having lots of work done to it. nonetheless, less than 5000$ for a new car, in both parts and labor, seemed a bit good to be true.
that's why i wanted to send an email to the company asking whether he included price for swapping all that i just mentioned.
no offense to you, just saying i went "dur" on something is a bit goofy when it is a fairly legitimate question to the shop whose doing a cross-model, cross-generation swap of completeley different engines and parts.

Point taken. Cross generational swap aren't cheap, never mind cross gen / cross breed swaps. Eh, I give up. Heh :D

bump,
Well i talked to the owner of the shop that built this car because i wanted to know what happend to it, to maybe see if he could take it too the meet that were having on friday and he basically told me its still in the same situation and they have been lazy and not working on it at all. He did say it should be done early sept. I still dont even know whos car it is though lol. It might just be someones at the shops conisidering its just been sitting there for so long but i dont know? The shoped moved though and i guess they have alot more room to work on stuff now. I went there the other day and they had a 2jz 240sx and a rb25 240sx sitting out front. Along with 3 supras in the shop. And TONS of other pretty crazy cars there.
So anyway if its running sept. then i will deffiently be able to get some more info and stuff on it. I stopped by the new shop the other day and i didnt see it. I didnt really ask where it was becuase i didnt really wanna sound real nosey.

errr....is it rare to find a 3G with H22's in them there??here where i live...the normal conversion for a 3G would be a H22As....only a few such as myself chose to go B series instead....hmmm...

Are you guy's makin custom mounts and axles and harness and all that?.. Or you got somewhere over there that is producing those?

People in malaysia (besides you of course) actually care enough for 3g's to swap in H22's and B engines?? Let's see some pics of some heavily modded malaysian 3g's! :)

08-07-2005, 06:17 PM
nah becos we malaysians are a bunch of lazy buggers...a H22A halfcuts cost like 5k...and tranplanting it is like another 3k...slightly expensive way to resuscitate the dying 3G and a total increase of horsies instead of looking around for the original A20A's which is getting harder and harder to find...the worse part is that almost all the B20a's around here came with an auto tranny....at first i was planning to plonk a B20a instead...but couldn't find a manual and read somewhere around here that Accord's and Prelude's tranny wont intermix...so i scrap that idea and B the bitch up :) ....i'll try to scout around....but i know there's a lot here....
