H23a VTEC into an EK3

I'm thinking of putting a H23a into my EK31997(been offered the prelude (has rear crash damage for Â£150). Its a JDM inport so its the VTEC version of the H23 not the American one which i believe isnt.

I was just wondering if anyone knew to any really good guides on swaping these engines into an EK. Guides on a H22 swap will do fine as they are pretty much the same engine so the swap will be the same.

This thing is going to be an animal once its done I will post some pictures and stuff of the swap while we are doing it. Not sure when i will be starting it but will complete it in 2 days probably as the car is my DD so need it back on the road ASAP.

Thanks in advance for any help

I do not have any info for you either how ever i have been doing alot of reading on doing a H22 swap in my 98 civic and would love to see someone else do it. A guy from my home town has done 2 and has been telling me they were strong as S^&* however i want to see the steps in doing it. So good luck and keep us updated.

Ok well doing an H22 swap isnt just a plop the sucker in and go...you have to do a bit of custom fab, more so than a b series swap..search the internet...the info is out there
