It would be just like wiring an obd2 h22 into a civic... It is not complicated... Just read the H22/Civic FAQ post at the top of Hybrid forum... That would be a nice combo though... Lots of torque in a delsol with a much lighter transmission...

I've done an f23(with f23 tranny) into a '94 civic.

The swap is almost identical to an h22 swap.
A couple differences are:
-The drive side timing belt mount(that attaches to the block) is different than the h22 mount. So the aftermarket h22 mount kit wont bolt to it.
You need to get the h22 timing belt mount, slot the bottom bolt hole, and trim some of the top of the mount. (when you line it up, it will be obvious how much to trim).

-The obd2B injectors are different sizes than the obd1 and obd2A. This posed a problem for us, since we were trying to run an obd1 accord ex ecu(which is trying to run the wrong sized injectors). We simply used some obd2A injectors and wired in the injector resistor box. Problem solved.

Let me know if you have any other Qs. I will try to help where I can.

Yes, the obd1 accord ecu plugs into your civic.

You can use obd1 accord injectors also, we just used obd2a, cause that's what we had.

Both obd1 and obd2A injectors will require the injector resistor box.
