Have you gone to your local library and checked out the chiltons and haynes manuals for your car? Those books tell you how to take apart and install/re-install just about every component for your vehicle. Not only that they name all of the parts, etc. I hope this helps.

depending on the version of the book, they will have the part number in there for you already. Usually the large Chilton books have them.

here is some help bro---i have this swap in my car... you can use the civic pedal/ master cylinder/ reservoir
you will need the prelude hose from either the junction block on the firewall or from the master cylinder---
the only trick is the clutch slave cylinder---there are clearence issues with civic radiator fans- the bleeder valve sometimes hits from the lude slave--- so either you can use the clutch slave from the civic and a slim puller fan, or you can use the lude slave cylinder if you switch to a pusher fan..... good luck, and if you have any questions, the answers for this swap WONT be in chilton or haynes, so you can hit me up... =)

I am going to go w/ pusher and stock radiator (for now). Also i been checking w/ salvage yards and one guy said that all the pedals are together on one peice to mount and master cylinder / resover for $100 the slave cylinder comes w/ the swap so i just need the hydrolic hose from a preludes master clinder to the slave cylinder. Does all the sound right. Just curious what kind of clutch are you running thanks :lol:

If you are swapping a prelude motor use prelude parts, they are engineered to work together, not miss match parts.

not to step on toes, but....READ THE WHOLE THREAD.BEFORE COMMENTING- i have physically gone through all this, dont know if you have, but.....

saying not to mix and match HONDA s**t is absurd- im sure if SPOON told you it was OK, youd do it...

HEY GUYS.... dont mix and match B20 blocks and VTEC heads- cause there not engineered to work together- f**k ALL THAT

post a mod list Spoon'dOut, lets see if you have miss matched anything- or is it stock? w/ SPOON stickers?


:lame :ban: :wtf:

this clutch is very streetable- i picked it because its firm but easy to control on the street and i dont drag race that much :bs:
good luck with your H22 bro- just build it right, youl love it in the long run... 8)
