After a few years staying pretty much the same, I decided it was time to change this a bit. This time I’m using Wordpress instead of hand coding. There’s still a few things that bother me about Wordpress that I might change to something else later on but for now it’ll do. Also I posted the most important part of the old site and I think it looks good enough. I hope to post a bit more regularly now that I have Wordpress handling the background stuff and also you can expect some things to change a bit from time to time. Also, instead of being just informational post I might post a little more ranting and stuff like that from time to time.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this site!

Well this is it, this is my guide on how to install a JDM Climate Control in a 4th gen USDM Prelude. I’ll try to cover all aspect of this install, what parts you need and how to hook them up. I won’t explain how to remove your consoles and stuff like that (not for now anyway), you should have a Helm handy at all time when working on your car. Also please note that I am not responsible if you blow up your car, get a fine for releasing freon in the atmosphere or any other injuries or whatever that could happen.

What I am trying to do here is get a H22A4 engine from a 2001 Prelude base to replace the H23A1 engine in a 1992 Prelude SR (Or Si if you’re in the US). Since my father is teacher at the local high school, we had access to lots of tools and better yet, a heated garage with a hoist and a mechanic teacher. In this article I will describe how “WE” did the swap you might want to do some stuff differently but that’s your choice. I’ll also be giving some advice of what you can do to save you some trouble we got. And since I’m doing this from memory I might be forgetting some stuff, so if you can have a mechanic helping you, good, if not have a shop manual with you.
