So I got a 98 sedan automatic I would like to swap it with an h series motor.

But here's the catch keeping it obd2 and auto.

H23a is obd2 right? Also there's an h22 that's a 96 that's obd2?

I'm looking for the easiest swap to keep it auto and obd2 that just bolts up I've never done.

Keeping it auto for my soon to be wife this summer she loves the car. The reason I bought type1 and semi slammed it. She bought my euroline type n's for it behind my back as my bday present.

I'm giving her the car once we are officially married

I've tried to teach her how to drive stick kinda burnt the clutch so no more of that

The h23a vtec blue top comes only in automatic. Ecu code should be PCF. To avoid complicating issies, I'd use the h23's auto. You will have to do some slight wiring, and change 1 motor mount. But that's about it. Also I should mention that Jdm ecu's don't have a obd2 protocol, meaning if you have a plug in scanner test for inspection, it will fail, as the Jdm won't communicate with the scanner. You would need to swap the ecu for the US ecu for inspection. If you don't have a scanner test for inspection you're golden. Hope this helped.

The 97-01 h22 Preludes also came w/ an optional automatic tiptronic transmission, that's probably what would b the right swap 4 u n girl. U could still have fun when u drive it n she will still b able 2 drive it.

Wait she got U rims 4 ur car that ur g2 give her! I think ur gettin burned on a b-day present :henry:
