JDM to USDM Installation & Swap Guide

To ensure 100% compatibility and maintain the high-RPM reliability of the H22A, professional technicians recommend the following “External Swap” steps:

  1. Intake & Exhaust Manifolds: You must transfer your original USDM Intake Manifold. JDM versions often use a different EGR setup or lack specific vacuum ports required for North American emissions.

  2. Wiring Harness: Always retain and use your original USDM Engine Wiring Harness. JDM harnesses are configured for right-hand drive (RHD) and will not reach the ECU location in a left-hand drive vehicle.

  3. Distributor & Sensors: Transfer your original USDM Distributor and Sensors. Honda electronics from the 90s are sensitive to regional differences; using your “known-good” parts prevents ignition timing issues or ECU fault codes.

  4. Timing Belt & Manual Tensioner: While the engine is out, many enthusiasts choose to convert the JDM hydraulic tensioner to a Manual Tensioner conversion kit for increased reliability during high-RPM use.

  5. Oil System: Inspect the oil pan and VTEC solenoid. We recommend installing a new VTEC Solenoid Gasket and Cam Seal now to prevent common leaks down the road.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

  • Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
  • Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
  • Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
  • Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
