I would think this conversion can be done to the h22a7 type r (UKDM)... can you confirm?

Started hearing a diesel type noise which leads me to believe the auto tensioner is on its way out  Sad

The a7 block shares the same casting as the US a4. The conversion can be done.

Scott,
I did this swap on my h22a4 powered integra,and it sounds like there is a slight whine. Is there too much tension on the timing belt?? What would the symptoms of an overly tight timing belt be?? thanks!!

If the belt is too tight a whine can occure. Did you replace the tesioner pulley with a new part?

That I did....replaced both bearings (timing and balancer) and used all the parts in your writeup...I probably put the belt a little tight.

Thanks Scott!!!

am i right in thinking that with a manual tensioner once everything is on you turn the engine over backwards 180 degree and then tighten the tensioner nut and it should be all set to go ?

I just did this conversion, and i found putting the T-belt back on extremely difficult. The timing belt tensioner pulley is bigger then the stock pulley, even with loosening the tension off as much as possible it was very tight. Anyways though i got it all back together and its running nice and smooth. But whoever is attempting to do this conversion, just take note that it will be hard to put the belt on and i wouldnt attempt this unless your confident you can do it.

Anyone else getting a whine from the T-belt? We have the tensioner set to as loose as it can be and we are still getting a whine.

Does the whine go away after some time?  Should I drive the car this way?

This is on a 01' SH, w/ the H23 pulley.

I would 100% have to agree.  I just converted my h22 over from auto to manual timing belt tensioner setup and my darn belt was extremetly tight.  It doesn't seem right.  I have all the suggested parts that are required to do the conversion.  I took notice that the h22 timing belt tensioner pulley diameter is a lot smaller the the h23 pulley; this is why we struggled putting on the belt even with all the tension release before the installation.  I did manage to get the timing belt on but I'm about 1 tooth off on the crank pulley? The belt should be slightly longer.  A mechanics that has installed hundreds of belts overlooked mine when I was setting it up, and he never struggled so much putting a timing belt on in his life!  I believe this conversion is not sutiable using the stock h22 timing belt, or else honda quality department shipped a lot full of oversized H23 tensioner pulleys.  Any advise, please shoot away.   
thanks

It is funny... this write-up has been used for years now all over the internet. People use the same parts listed without issue, except that the timing belt takes a little bit of effort to put on. I do quite a few conversions and I guess I have developed a really easy way to get the belt on and lined up. Your mechanic should have double checked the alignment befor calling it finished.

Scott,  What is the trick to get the belt on besides pacients?  Is there a perticular sequence that you go through (crank pulley, tensioner, water pump, intake cam, and exhaust cam)?  Is it ok if I rotate the crankshaft CCW to work the belt on, assuming the belt will not skip a tooth?

thanks again for all the help...

in one of the pictures you have 5 bags from honda...


if you are reusing parts from the h22 auto tensioner are those the only parts that you need to convert it to manual?

or what?

im just a little confused...im used to d-series and b-series...

h-series is new in my head
