Ok, after finding out my head gasket is blown, I got quotes from many mechanics and they wanna charge me 600-800 bucks to fix the car. Considering my Accord has 237K miles on it and has a head gasket replaced about 30K miles ago, i just dont see how this is worth it.

So Ive decided to pick up a JDM F22b DOHC lude engine. From what I gather, this engine should bolt right into my car. My question is will my ECU recognize it, or will i need a new one. Again from what Ive heard the ECU just needs a lil rewiring, but it should be fine.

Also, will headers designed for F22A1 powered Accords bolt up to the F22B?

 

wow 600 is a rip for a head gasket and its fairly easy, just you need to get it resurfaced.

f22a and h23 headers will fit a f22b dohc, but if i had one of those motors id have a dsm manifold w/ a 14b turbo.

p39 or p14(h23)ecu will plug right in and work fine.

 

I say buy the Honda Tuning mag that just came out. Has this EXACT swap step by step.

yup just got done reading it

 

would u be interested in a JDM p13 ecu&gt;&gt;???

 

its non vtec he needs the original p39 or an h23 p14 but w/ the p14 a knock sensor has to be wired in.

 

afaik the p0c is the proper ecu for the f22b.

 

they just did an article in honda tuning about that swap , pick it up it tells all

 

Didn't we just say that? Anyways, the proper ECU should come with the swap. If you want to sell your ECU go to the classifieds.

 

I'm looking for a p39 ecu for my jdm f22b. I have the p14 but I don't feel like its quite right for my motor.

WTB: p39 jdm f22b ecu

FS: p14 h23 ecu
