Rywire RY-DIS-PRELUDE-2-2-8-PIN OBD2 Prelude to OBD2 8-Pin Distributor Adapter

Vehicle Fitment

• 1996-2001 Honda Prelude (BB6, H22A, 2.2L DOHC VTEC I4, USDM/US Spec)

Fitment Notes

• Designed for USDM (US Spec) Honda Prelude only - converts 1996+ Prelude distributor and coil plugs to mate with a 1996-2001 OBD2 8-position distributor connector
• Does NOT fit 1998 and later Honda Accord models
• If converting from an external coil distributor to an internal coil distributor, use the supplied fuse to jump the two thick gauge wires on the external coil connector
• USDM OBD2 computers may throw a cam sensor code due to a different trigger wheel on the Prelude distributor - a JDM or OBD1 computer is recommended for the cleanest installation
• This is the 8-pin OBD2 variant - for the OBD1 conversion use RY-DIS-PRELUDE-2-1; for the 10-pin OBD2 conversion use RY-DIS-PRELUDE-2-2-10-PIN

Features

• Converts 1996+ USDM Prelude distributor and coil plugs to match a 1996-2001 OBD2 8-position distributor plug
• Enables use of the USDM H22A Prelude distributor with an OBD2 8-pin chassis harness
• Plug-and-play design - no cutting or permanent modification to factory wiring required
• Includes jumper for external-to-internal coil conversion
• Made in the USA by Rywire
• Precision-crimped connectors for reliable, long-term electrical connection

Product Description

The Rywire RY-DIS-PRELUDE-2-2-8-PIN is a plug-and-play distributor adapter designed for 1996-2001 USDM Honda Prelude (H22A) builds that need the stock Prelude distributor and coil plugs to connect with a 1996-2001 OBD2 8-position distributor connector. This is the 8-pin OBD2-to-OBD2 variant in Rywire's Prelude distributor adapter lineup, making it the correct choice when the target chassis or engine harness uses an 8-pin OBD2 distributor plug format rather than the 10-pin variant.

A jumper fuse is included to handle the external-to-internal coil conversion when upgrading distributor type. As noted by Rywire, USDM OBD2 computers may generate a cam sensor code due to a different trigger wheel on the Prelude distributor; running a JDM or OBD1 computer is the recommended approach for the most reliable setup with this adapter. This adapter does not fit 1998 and later Honda Accord models. No cutting or permanent wiring modification is required for installation.
