Ok guys, I've searched like 5 different forums...cant find any informtation so far.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN SWAPPING MY STOCK F23A motor in my 98 accord OBDII, to an F20B DOHC engine out of the accord SIR in Japan?

I've found the motors for sale online for under 1000 dollars, Ive considered swapping the transmission as well but I know they will bolt up to my stock one.
1000 bucks for 50hp and a fresh motor...pretty good deal i think.

Whats involved in the wiring? Will it all plug in? Can i just unplug the factory computer and plug in the ecu that comes with it?

Motor mounts? I've heard a prelude mount will work and then the rest stock...

clearance issues...let me know. I dont want a race car..just want a lil more power and my motors at 215 XXXkm ...looking for a bit more pep and some longevity.

I dont want to boost, so no offers..I have a 500hp v8 rx7 that I use in teh summer..this is my daily driver that I just want to have a bit more power. I dont really want an h22 either...seems quite expensive...and not worth the extra 20ft lbs of tq.

I bought f20b roughly 3 months ago still doing research on motor and comparing to f23. Looks great so far exact bolt up just wiring is gonna be Ima do a write up on swap just wanna make sure i have all my ducks in a row before i start swap. I been trying to get my hands on a wiring diagram for a 01 accord sir-t but no luck so far. I will keep posted it looks like a money saver tho just no info on folks completing in a 6th gen. O Yeah f23 tranny mounts right up to motor and it looks like only driver side mount needs to be replaced with same year from h22 mount. I will definately make a write up on swap with pictures for swap on 6th gen. Mounting no problem its gonna be the damn wiring thats gonna bite me in the butt.

Treat it just as you would an H22 swap as has been said 2000 times before

lol. i swapped H22A TypeS SH into my 98 accord ex sedan. if u think u wont need power steering, you better rethink. lol unless ur a stong dude. actually when u drive its fine, but a b*tch to turn the wheel when the car is still
