which h22 do we have here????

one of my friends finally recieved his h22a swap last week and we were trying to figure out how to tell what yr the engine is and exactly what it came out of. is there anything we could look at on the engine to help us out? anyway to run the vin off of it or anything like that? thanks in advance for any help

It has the blue valve cover if that helps.

It should be the regular JDM H22a (non type-s) cause the Type-S has a red cover and the usdm has a regular black if i'm not mistaken. As for the year there should be some "sundial like" markings on the front of the engine. There should be 3 of them; they're circles with numbers around and an arrow pointing to a specific number (2 of them should tell you the year ie. "9" on one and "6" on the other is from 1996). Hope my babling helps you out.

F20B from the 97-00 Accord SiR-T had a blue valve cover, the type-S H22A had a red, and the other H22's had black, so it could just have another valve cover on it, but Civicspoon nialed the dating ID. on the leftish side there are a sries of small circle, the first should be the date it was cast.

wow i didnt know that, is this just for h22's or any honda motor?

ok...checked out to be a 1996 swap...and it is 5 lug...got h22a 1251445 off the block...and could anyone tell me what "p5m" stands for? i saw this on the engine, ecu, at control unit, and wiring harness...this info prolly doesn't help out any at all. but thanks to those who responded so far...

P5M is just a "parts" code. Like th B16's have P30, PR3-4 and the ITR's have PR3-3, GSR P72 etc...usually they maych the ECU code.

is there any way i could use that parts code to find out which car this engine came out of???

Im gonna say it came out of a prelude.

all jdm preludes 5 lug?

you get a swap or a front clip?

well it's the swap...but the axle on the right has the 5 lug rotor still on it...

Only the right side is 5 lug??

I thikn he means the left side axle doesnt have a rotor. lol

anyways I dont know if JDM ludes have 5 lug, but I also dont know that other cars came with the H22.

Yea, here's a list of all the JDM and USDM cars to come with an H22. The JDM Accord SiR (chassis code CD) came with an H22.

The H22A from the 5th gen 97+ JDM Prelude Type S (chassis code BB) is 2157cc, 11.0:1 c/r, 220HP@7200rpm, 163 lb/ft of torque@6500rpm.

The H22A from the 5th gen 97+ JDM Prelude SiR (chassis code BB) is 2157cc, 10.6:1 c/r, 200HP@6800rpm, 161lb/ft of torque@5500rpm.

The H22A1 from the USDM 5th gen 97-98 Prelude (chassis code BB6) is 2157cc, 10.0:1 c/r, 195HP@7000rpm, 156 lb/ft of torque@5250rpm.

The H22A from the USDM 5th gen 99+ Prelude (chassis code BB6) is 2157cc, 10.0:1 c/r 200HP@7000rpm, 156 lb/ft of torque@5250rpm.

The H22A1 from the USDM 4th gen 94-96 Prelude VTEC (chassis code BB1) is 2156cc, 10.0:1 c/r, 190HP@6800 rpm, 158 lb/ft of torque@5500 rpm.

The H22 from the 4th gen JDM 92-96 Prelude VTEC (chassis code BB) is 2157cc, 10.6:1 c/r, 200HP@6800 rpm, 161 lb/ft of torque@ 5500rpm.

The H22 from the 5th gen JDM Accord SiR (chassis code CD) is 2157cc, 10.6:1 c/r, 190HP@6800rpm, 152 lb/ft of torque@5500rpm.

now that I read that, I remember hearing about that accord, I will still guess it is a prelude seeing as 6/7 donors are ludes.

I was also wondering, about the accord SIR and the JDM lude SIR, how come they both have the same displacement, and same compression but the lude has more power, did they put better cams in the ludes powerplant? or P&P the head a bit or...?

Now that I am not sure of, although I'd like to know why myself.
