Well, your going from about 130/130 hp/tq to 200/160 hp/tq. So depending on how much it costs you to do, its your call.

you have a light accord and i would go with the h22a with lsd if available. you wont have to change much but some wiring if it isnt obd1. however be ready to have to tune it after the swap (vafc) good luck!

It would be about the same. The only difference would be OBD II vs OBD I wiring.

It will end up being the same amount of work for a 23 with a 40 hp loss over the 22....I dont know why you wouldnt just go for it.
