Default F22 VETC swap comp.

well, she has been finished for about 1,ooo miles now. and runs perfect. cant beleive how much faster it is. top speed so far is around 145 or so,{speedo stops at 140}. just bought a turbo off "ebay" and gonna start peicing it togather. iterior was totaly crap, and gonna do some changes, like front and rear matching 89 prelude SI bucketts. so i junked all the interior, carpet, rear seat assy., complete trunk, etc. all that is left is, 4 door panels, 2 front seats, and dash up. so all the "dumb kids" think that its a "racer". no way, just a striped "granny 4 door" well, not a racer yet.

So basically you went from an LX/DX to an EX motor?

swaped the 91 EX motor for a SOHC VTEC out of a 95 wreaked accord. sounds like a simple swap, but there was a few gremlins to over come. mainly wiring, and running the car off of the 95 ECU, and keeping the 91 engine harness. but now its tyme for some boost.,,,,

how much you think i can get a f22b1 sohc vtec engine, because my mom has a 91 accord lx, and i drive it, gas is crap, engine is weak as hell, is it a big noticeable change in speed? and was it easy to swap, if so maybe i can hit you up sometime, because i dont live that far from everett aight peace

well, i could get you the complete motor{everything, except, alt, dist, powersteering, etc. you will end up using all that crap off the old motor.} ECU and exhuast mani, for about $200.00 from a "bone yard" i frequent. and if ya got a camera, we could meet up and you can take as many pics of the wiring as you want. there is no carpet, so you will get a good veiw of all that has to be done. if you know how to pull a motor, the swap could be done in a weekend!! and yes, there is a very noticable difference. never been in an accord where i could spin the tires when i hit 2nd gear! {with as few upgrades that i have done.} i'll be outa town on buisness till 6/18/05, then i'm going camping. so if ya want to go for a spin to see if you even like it. we could set something up for the following weekend. allways down in China town. we could hook up for a minute or two.
