Installation notes

Yes — the H22A1 engine and manual transmission from a 1993-1996 Prelude VTEC (BB1) fits a 1994-1997 Accord (CD5/CD7) with H-series swap mounts, the Prelude rear bracket and the Prelude H-series timing-side post mount. Hasport's CDH1 kit is built around the Prelude transmission and rear bracket. Innovative lists conversion kits for the CD5, CD7 and CE1 with H22/F22A engines and manual transmissions and says no hood trimming is required. The H22A1 is rated at 190 hp in the US Prelude VTEC.

Required modifications

Engine mounts: Hasport CDH1 (designed for the Prelude-style transmission and uses the Prelude rear bracket) or an Innovative 94-97 Accord conversion kit; Innovative sells different kits for EX (29751, H22/F22A) and DX/LX (29750) cars. Innovative requires the 92-01 Prelude H-series timing-belt post mount, Honda part 11910-P13-000. Innovative says no hood notching or trimming is needed. Also wiring/ECU, axles, shifter linkage, cooling and exhaust for the H22.

Caution

Important caveats

  • Innovative sells different kits for Accord EX and DX/LX cars; order by trim.
  • The Innovative kits need the 92-01 Prelude H-series post mount (11910-P13-000).
  • Hybrid Racing notes there is no single part number for this job; the kit depends on the engine and on the trim of the Accord.
  • The 1997-2001 Prelude H22A4 is a later version of the same engine family; confirm mount and post-mount fitment if using it.
