Default acura cl swap???

Do the acura 2.2/2.3 cl's use h22a4/h23/f22? My other question is can you swap in an h22a1/a4 into them?

TIA

Unfortunately, the acura cl 1997 - 1999 comes with an F22 or F23. Or the J30 and J32. I have swapped a jdm h22a into my 2.2 auto CL. also did a auto to manual conversion. The swap is quite easy.

I'm curious, what ecu configuration did you wind up using with your CL hybrid ?

i used the p13 that came with the swap. I was too cheap to buy a conversion harness so i lopped off the obdII plugs and spliced on the obdI plugs.

i see ok..
I ask because I recently met up with a person/customer who did this swap in a 97 CL and he was having OBD2 ecu issues, as all OBD2 prelude ecu's have an immobilizer, he was trying to work his way around it. His last resort would be going OBD1.

thanks.

only thing he can do is get a 1996 ecu. Its obdII, but it doesn't have an immobilizer. 97 and up does. Otherwise he will need a conversion harness.
