This is the f23a1, along with 5 speed tranny. Different motor mounts? Problems with obd 1 to obd 2? Need for new axels?

I know this sounds like a stupid swap, but I found a low mileage 2002 accord engine with tranny, also has the ecus, and axels. (around 10k miles total)

thanks!

Depends on what year your 5th gen is. 94-95 are OBD1, 96-97 are OBD2. The Ex's came w/ the F22B1 which have VTEC and the motor is 99% the same as the F23.

So tell us the year and we could help you better.

 

Thanks man.

I have a 94 lx.

 

Question is, how much are you paying for this swap?

 

It came out of a totaled car, and its a great deal. I saw the swap before it came out of the car.I paid around 500 bucks, thats why I can't turn it down. You guys would do the same right?

This is less that a 1/3 of what a h22a would cost me, and I plan to boost the engine after I get it. More reliable than my 200k engine, even though it has great compression still.

So back to the swap...thoughts?

since he has a 94 wouldnt he have to get a obd1>obd2 converter harness?

haha thats cool to hear you got it for 500. now you can keep you accord for a couple more years

 

no, he doesnt need the converion harness, but off the top of my head, arent some plugs different on the motor side? and I do think that he'll need an OBD1 dist. and a OBD1 vtec computer.

 

Thanks di3go. anything else?
