CG8 Type R

Hey guys. Getting my first car in a few months, and it's going to be a CG8 Accord 1.8l with the F18b. Im looking to make a Type R Replica, so my question is: What parts do I need to run the H22A + Gearbox?

Also, does the ATR bootlid fit the Hatchbacks? Or would I need to drill holes into my bootlid to fit the Spoiler?

And my last question is: Would the ATR Recaro's bolt straight into the CG8 if I was to get the same year seats? E.G 2000.

Thanks for your time and help.

the engine, tranny, and ecu. f series and h series are interchangeable

So could I use my stock Wiring Harness with it? Without splicing?

Um what? Certain aspects of the H and F are interchangeable - the entire motor is not a direct drop-in swap. Not to mention the OP obviously does not have a USDM Accord, so unless you have personal experience in swapping a JDM H22A into a European Accord I wouldn't be posting information like that potentially wasting thousands of this guy's money.

OP,

I would imagine the seats would be a direct swap in, providing you go from a sedan to a sedan and have the same year. Most users on H-T are US and are not as familiar with Accords from other countries.

Honestly, the easiest route may be to find a wrecked ATR and swap parts over from it (including the drivetrain)
