- Fuel rail (US spec only!)

OTHER PARTS TO GET

or just google h22 accord swap guide.

so i wouldnt, need to replace the tranny,axle shafts,or hubs? all my old stuff will work?

Correct your transmission and everything will work. The Prelude ones are geared a bit better and some come with an LSD. But if you wanted to keep yours that would work.
