new update on JDM swap into a 98 SH...

[Phunyguy]

The oil filter placement is different... i think it is because of the ATTS on the SH... would this be a problem? there is a small unti - i think its the ATTS unit where the oil filter would normally be - how can I get around this....

[Phunyguy]

humph.... should I just get rid of the ATTS? and if I do... would i have to get a base model 5th gen ECU? and would I need a new Tranny? (don't know much about ATTS....) I really need help with this guys.....

You mean to tell me that I am the ONLY person on here that is trying or has tried to put a JDM motor into a 98 Prelude SH?? You have got to be kidding. OK... new question.. for ALL you honda guys with Oil coolers... how do you ditch it?? i do not have enough room for the oil filter / cooler unit... i was hoping to find a way to eliminate the cooler so that the filter would just screw right into the block - if i can do that it will be possible to get a filter relocation kit. anyone catch what I am saying? if I can do all of this then I am golden. NEED INPUT!!!

I was wondering....why exactly are you putting a JDM motor into a 98 lude SH... and i don't want to sound like an a$$hole...but most people like to keep their motors for a few years...seeing how it IS A HONDA. i don't know much about the ATTS either...sorry i can't help u

Sorry I wasn't more specific... I hydrolocked my motor. and I can't find an SH block for a decent price anywhere, but I found a solution to my problem - i am relocating the oil filter and redoing the oil cooler setup to make room for the ATTS
