Default what swap should i do?

i just wanted everyones opinions on what swap i should do in my accord...

its a 1993 4dr white accord....nothings done to it...i just got it and only put amber corner lights on it. Im still deciding on what kind of swap to put in it....so thats where you people come in...

i was thinking about putting a H22A in it but i see too much of it and i dont wanna do something everyone else has....and then i started looking at the euro-R SiR-T F20B motor....this motor comes with engine (of course), intake manifold, all of the sensors needed, exhaust manifold, downpipe, a 5 speed LSD transmission, complete wiring, an ECU that is modified (not sure whats done to it), shift linkage, alternator, A/C, P/C, & starter.....ALL FOR $2500.00

PLZ let me know what y'all think and if there are any links to the F20B in the same accord as mines plz feel free to post the links on here....thanx people!!!

Maybe a full h22 type s swap with lsd tranny?You'll be good to go..IMO it's more off a straight forward swap then the f20b.But wait for more replies before u decide.

the f20b swap is essentially the same process as the h22 swap.

With that much money you can make some pretty good power with both motors...just make sure you spend it wisely

i am just messing with you, i don't think my gf can afford me a new car anytime soon(we are both in school btw). To speak the truth, i am in the process of changing the timing belt on her car.

anway, go with the h22, you don't want to be different when you have something broke and your only part dealer speaks japanese

Buy an accord with a manual stock would save u alot of money, sell the auto, an also u can put that towards the h22 or the f20b, then would could buy some badass parts for it for that much money thats my opinion though bro, must be nice wish my girl would do that for me, i would have a 11 sec. accord lol keep in touch an let us know what you get and include pics if you dont mind.

Personally I would go with the h22a type s swap. It produces good power stock, however with some upgraded performance parts it be quick. However you could also do a 5spd swap and turbo your f22a6 and have some good power. However you are the one to decide.

i got the accord from my dad so i didnt pay for it (FREE.... ) and this accord is cleaner (except for the two rust marks over the rear tires where all the 90-93 accors have it) then any accord i seen for its year (except for the ones that got body work done)....yea it is nice that my girls doing this....hopefully this would be the last thing i hook up cuz of my kids....and yea i will keep in touch and i dont think i can get pics because this accord is my DD and if i get it worked on i cant get to the shop thats doing it for me ....but hopefully i can and get some pics for you guys....

the H22 is 200 stock if im correct and the F20B is 215 stock and no performance upgrades anytime soon....not really thinking about doing any upgrades yet, still need to get the motor in...lol and of course it will be quik, and i was thinking about doing that 5spd swap and turbo the F22A6 as well so really it somewhat comes down to the money that i have....but thanx for ur opinion as well

keep them coming, ur opinions are very useful ....now i dont know which motors to go for!!

the f20b is 197-200hp. I am positive of that. unless its the auto which makes around180hp.

the f20b also has lower torque then the h22.

The only h/f (besides the f20c) that makes actually more then 200hp is the euro r h22 and the type s h22.
