ok i pulled the motor and started the discovery process. i have major metal in oil, and i am not the motor guy, but rod or rods for sure. i have the f23 and really cant afford a shop to install. i am gauging options, i might try and trade for a obd1 on craigslist. will the f23 run with slapstick and will obd1 run with it. gotta get back on the road. got two weeks before we head back to school and this is my only ride. somebody anybody new year charity.

 

you havent really given enough info.
So you engine is finished.
You want to replace it with an obd1?
What is your car obd1 or obd2?

 

If your name is correct, and you have a 1997 Prelude, get an H22.

 

wtf is slapstick? god people really, learn to speak proper engrish prease!!!

 

I think slapstick = SS tranny.

 

my bad fellas. Im stuck in a 97 auto base. the the plan was to build a g23 and swap over to a 5spd but the rod started knocking on me last month and im down to just to the lude. i picked up a f23 for cheap and now im out of cash looking for a motor that will just run till i get my taxes

 

help me out honda lude gods

 

A different ECU won't control the Sissy-Stick. And the original ECU won't properly control the F23.

Seriously, just get another H22. They aren't tough to find.

 

pretty sure the cheapest option here given that you have an H22 currently is to get an H23 short block. The P5M will run that just fine too.

 

thanx. i rounded up both my 5spd tranny and the h23 from a hillbilly in tennessee. he didn't know what he had or didn't care. i heard the car run and pulled the motor out this past saturday. i will keep yall posted
