i want to know what things r needed to put a 91 accord motor in a 94 accord shell

 

not sure why you'd want to take a step back, as a 1991 honda accord motor will likely have less horsepower.

are you sure you don't mean a 1994 engine into a 1991 accord shell? that would make a little more sense, as you'd be getting a slight horsepower gain.

 

Call me crazy; but aren't both engines F22's??? Should be a direct bolt in unless one is a vtec. (or I'm nuts)

P

 

theres kinda a difference from an f22a1 and an f22b1

 

Uh Huh, like Vtec and non Vtec. The difference is in the head.............

Maybe he has a f22a sitting around, and he has a 5th gen shell sitting around.

 

yea technically your right i guess..

 

f22a's are better in my opinion, but it all comes down to what you going to do with it

 

isnt this illegal?

by emissions standards, if you swap a motor into the car that is older than the model year of the vehicle, thats illegal. Motor has to be newer than the vehicle its going into.

im pretty sure they are strict on this in cali, dont know about the rest of the US.


if youre buying the motor i suggest getting a newer one, but if you have it laying around, or in a donor car... the swap should be relatively simple. the only thing you should have to worry about is the OBD wiring. IIRC 90-92 accord are OBD0, and 93 is the first year accords are OBD1, until 96 when they went OBD2.

 

i am guessing the vacuum lines would be the bitch, its kinda wierd on the 91s, but if its already all assembled, should be cake.

 

IF you swap in the '91 long block assembly (block & head) but use the manifolds, dist and emissions items from the '94, no one will know the difference. (and it will pass muster every time.
