go read the sticky in the prelude forum on h22a type s, it will show what makes the extra 20hp.
the accord h22a is detuned.
if i were you , get eh prelude gearbox along with the whole front cut because the accord ratios are different.
the prelude box is close ratio and will have better acceleration.
www.adelaidejap.com.au are selling used JDM prelude SIR front cut with M2B4 gearbox and p13 ecu for $3500.00 plus shipping.
they are really good, i have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!
Your mechanic is a dumb shit if he says the h22a will not bolt in there without changing cross member, shafts and wiring. u can use same cross member, accord shafts and intermediate shaft and all of the existing accord wiring loom except for one sensor that dodent come on a h22a engine.
I am not a mechanic and i did the conversion myself.
Sure, the extra wiring you have to add is a bit of a head **** but if anyone runs into trouble let me know and i'll help you out.
u use all accord mounts except for one
