1994 AccordLX - Hybrid project help!
Hey Guys,
My plan is to swap out my 94LX engine for a Prelude H22A engine, but I have a couple of questions...
1) Is the H22A the best engine to swap for the 94 Accord LX? Or is there a better engine with a higher bhp that I should swap my current engine with? (provided that it is as easy to swap as the H22A in a 94 LX Accord...from what I've heard anyways) Which year H22A is the best? I want as much bhp as I can get, without doing major modification to my engine bay....
2) Is it useless to go ahead and invest in engine mods like headers, cam gears, plugs, pullies, etc? Would those pmods fit when I switch the engine? (I'm thinking no...and that I should wait till I switch out the engine...I also have a ractive intake currently, will that still fit?)
3) What about the tranny? What is the best move? Stay stock auto? Is auto->manual too expensive, complicated? Is there any drawback to doing that conversion? What kind of Tranny?
And finally....
4) ECU needs to be changed with the swap right? Am I missing anything else that might be a big problem?
Is there a website with all this info that you guys know about? I really appreciate any advice/knowledge you guys can pass on!
Thanks!!
