I'm helping a buddy of mine do a boosted JDM F23A swap into his 96 Prelude.

While trying to get all the accessories and everything ready so we can drop the motor in I realized yesterday that the powersteering pump was very different from his previous H series one. I figured, no big deal, swap the pumps and we'll be good. No good. Didn't fit. Tried to swap on the H series pump and bracket, didn't work either. I tried an F22A CB7 bracket and that wouldn't fit either. What combination of parts do we need here? The F23A bracket looks pretty much like the steel 94-97 Accord brackets except it's made out of aluminum so I'm thinking maybe we can reuse that bracket and get a 94-97 Accord pump? Any ideas?

The mounting holes are the same on the head for the F22B2, F22B1, and F23A engines. So anyone who's done a swap with any of those motors please chime in with what you used. Couldn't find a whole lot of information on this online. Seems to be a pretty rare swap.

94-97 Accord pump and bracket. May have to have new lines made.

I guess that makes sense. Kinda like the opposite of doing an H swap. You're right about the line too. It'll probably have to have the end that bolts to the pump cut off and have the Accord piece brazed/welded on to get the right angle.

I can accomodate a new line which makes it easier to deal with in the future for maintanence etc....

Here is my solution to the 3rd gen Prelude(88-91) community:



And here is for the H22/23 swaps into a 3rd gen Lude:
