i know there are already tons of question on this topic , but im looking for the short and sweet reply here.... im getting a 90/93 accord for free ,. hints why i dont know the exact year just yet. the original f22a is dead and has 200k on it .
i want to swap in something inxpensive i can turbo. i love the h22 , but would rather keep with f series... what is the best f series to look for this , and what other parts will i need to do the swap ,. thanx guys

btw .. its a 5 speed

 

No personal experience but most of the research I have done indicates that the f22b1 (5th gen sohc vtec) is going to be your best bet. I have seen f22a's boosted to on stock blocks. As far as parts I am pretty sure that a 5th gen f22 will be a smooth swap.

Are you planning on keeping the original transmission or purchasing a complete swap?

 

f22b for boost! cheap and solid for turbo!

 

will probly do full swap considering the tranny in it now has 200k....
will the f22b and tranny drop right in with no mods??

 

the f22b is the same motor as the f22ax but dohc and VTEC

 

isnt the f22b DOHC non vtec?

 

huh? f22a or b are both sohc... h22/23 are dohc

 

F22AX/F22b1 or b2 SOHC F22B1 SOHC VTEC! F22B/H23= Same motor.

 

alright guys , so i want a f22b1 .. and manual lsd tranny. my question is what do i need for the swap???? does this bad boy just drop right in and wire up

 

Since your going f22b1 make sure you get a engine from the 94-95 models cuz the 96-97 are obd-2 and you would have to go thru the obd-2 to obd-1 converting. Use your f22Ax engine harness and everything will plug up, all you would have to do i s wire up vtec, and extend the fuel line from the fuel filter. I just did the f22b1 swap so it's really a peice of cake, just don't get ahead of yourself like I did!

 

nice ! thank you for the simple answer lol .. its just what i needed to hear.
cant wait to get her on the road... without a towstrap!

 

No problem bro! Also do you plain on getting a chipped p06 ecu or the poa ecu from the 94-95 ex model. If you are gonna run the poa ecu you will need to swap 2 pins around on the A plug for the ecu! If not and your using the chipped p06 you will need to wire the vtec solenoid into pin A4 and the vtec pressure sensor into pin d6. I used the chipped p06 route! hope that helps.

 

Get the JDM F22B (DOHC) or USDM H23, straightest swap possible. All you need is the engine and an ECU.

 

definatly chipped ! cant afford jdm will probly hit the ol pick n pull for a motor.
i will need help finding a 5 speed lsd though.

 

You've already got a 5spd, just get an aftermarket LSD installed. You end up spending about the same.

 

F22b1 woohoo

 

if i decide to go JDM , should i get the dohc f22b or sohc?? will the dohc still a be a good choice for boost?
