Default JDM 1997 Accord SIR H22A into a 1997 Accord Ex

Okay, I need some help here. I got sick of reading all of the crap on OBD1 to OB2, LX's, Preludes engines, etc. I have an automatic OBDII 1997 Accord EX (F22B1 VTEC) and I'm going to be swapping an automatic OBDII H22A from a JDM automatic 1997 Accord SiR (CF2). What parts do I need to use from each, especially dealing with the wiring? I essentially have all of the wiring, ECU, TCU, PS, AC, axles, mounts, and everything available from the JDM Accord as well as everything from the stock Accord. The Accord is my sister's car that she overheated (currently has 200k on it and a bad headgasket, warped head, or both) and the transmission is slipping as well, so I am hoping to make the whole operation as plug and play as possible. I know some of you must have swapped Accord H22's and OBDII into an EX.

This is the exact swap that I bought:

If your sick of reading and you still have no idea what you need for parts. Then I wouldn't suggest doing this swap yourself.

I can't find any info on OBDII to OBDII starting off with a VTEC chassy and Accord engine. I got sick of reading all of the crap on OBD1 to OBD2, LX's, Preludes engines, etc that doesn't have anything to do with the swap I am doing. I will gladly read 1000 pages of the correct info if it is out there already. Feel free to post up the links with relevant info if they are out there.

You still have to add the sensors regardless and their wiring.

In those boring guides you found you will find what sensors you need to run and where. You don't have an immobilizer like a 6th gen so you're good there.

ECU is listed somewhere in the accord faq, it's a rarer OBD2 ecu without an immobilizer that was available for only one year.

Alternatively downconvert to OBD1 and use whatever.
