hmmm....so that's < US $6000 for the swap (not counting all the things you got repaired). not bad.

well, enough people are riding your dong so I guess I don't have to congratulate you myself, but still, congratulations. It's cool to see another member dump a large sum of cash into a 3g, and actually complete this swap. It's weird to see all those costs added up, because I did all that shit myself with my b series. I guess I saved myself about $3k in labor..lolOriginally Posted by H22AccordSE-IV

Do they have an application for the front of our cars now? cuz on their site they only list for the rear?I replace the upper control arms on the front end, so I ordered Ingoll's camber kit (not installed yet) since my future plans will include lowering the car.

You don't need to do that shit, get the prelude arms. Easy as f to install, cheap, adjustable from the factory, and if you bias the washers, you get a nice caster improvement. Ingalls can juggle deez balls.
You don't need to be a pro. You just need to practice, and once you can do exhaust tubing without burning through or anything, you can weld just about anything.(well, mild steel anyway) As far as making the mounts, you do need to have a good eye though. I didn't use a level, a measuring tape, or anything to do my swap, just my eye. Some people might question my judgement on that, but I got the camber on my car within .1 degrees of factory spec by eye in my driveway after I lowered my car. The alignment shop I went to was confused about how I did that..Originally Posted by newaccorddriver

just out of curiosity(and to keep it on topic), do you know what combination of axles they used for your H22?
what did you do about your speedo? since i know h22 speed sensors aren't cable driven. did the a20 speed sensor fit in place of the h22 one?
Wow nice car props to all the work and money put into it. Trust me I know how much it cost to build a car. I have been working on my accord for 5 years now.
Stop bench racing and pick up a wrench
I know my spelling sucks and I suck with computers deal with it.
I love my birdshit...I'm too cheap to convert to gas.

this is one expensive project

Wow is all I can say. First we thought the B16 swap was awesome then turboed stock motors. Now the beast honda motor. H22 vtec. Hurry up and turbo that bitch!
Looks very nice though.
there is a thread on h-t "highest hp on a stock block".. so far the record for the h22 is 536 whp..

id consider buying an H23 engine and trying to fit it into a 3G though, but thats only if the H22 mounts are the same cause i got cheap access to a mount kit for an EG
yeah, h22/23 and f22/23 all use the same mounts. and maybe the f20b. i'm not sure about that one, though.
H22 are not all closed deck! They are 50-50.Originally Posted by Legend_master

You got some deep pockets. Nice funny with the cat ate the USB cable.(laghed at it)
Anyway, good job & lets some pics when you finish the headlight coversion.

im giving my car one more chance this summer before i buy another one
In response to all your questions in this thread: yes the Ingoll's kit is available, (about $80 a corner, Canadian) it's most likely not listed just because it's an older kit; I'll find out about the exact details on the axles for you guys, and; not sure about the speed sensor, will do the same.
Keep bringin' on the questions, guys! I'll do my best to get the answers for all of them. If I can't answer them myself, Joe will give me all the particulars.
Thanks

An H22 swapped into a 3G Accord is the kind of stuff you only read about in fairy tales.
does the h22 feel about the same weight as the a20? if you are using the stock 3gee suspension, from the looks of it, i say the front got a bit lighter. it raised up a bit...not sure though. but how does the car feel up front?
Awesome job!!!! congrats and mad props!!! I just saw this thread
maybe the best N/A Accord 3G!!!
With some good suspension set-up and 15*7 wheels with 205/50 Falkens
this will be a Fantastic sleeper!!!
Congrats again my friend!!! well spend money!! stay N/A (ITB.....).
ACCORD 3G RUNS FOR EVER
congrats on the swap H22 looks awesome and well worth and looks like it goes like stink.

fluxcore is a overdone for welding just exhaust pipe, you should get some basic er70s-6 with a 75% or 80% argon/ 20-35% CO2 it will be a bit easier to use especially on thin gauge material. fluxcore is more for heavy duty stuff thats 1/2" and up, however if you get the 80/20 mix you can weld thicker material in spray transfer mode
did you have to convert to a 5lug setup?
it looks stock 4 lug to me,looks like a nightmare under the hood-you really need to have it cleaned up then itll look real nice-and how are you getting temp readings the thermostat isnt even hooked up? dosent even look like the EGR is hooked up,and yeah I hope your not running it without a intake/filter thats gonna be alot of $$$ down the drain if you suck something in there
