Has anyone actually done this? Is this even a possibility? How hard is it? Would it be easier to just buy a 5th gen and do it there?

 

Yes. Yes. Not too hard. Yes.

 

Do you know who did it?

 

I remember see 2 6th gens here with H22's. I dont remember who though.

 

buy a 5th gen and do a h22 swap?

keep the 6th gen and do the swap for sure

 

sounds backwards to me

 

this guy thats selling his 4 dr 6th gen on ebay has an h22 in it...if i remember correclty he is from texas...i just order my jdm h22 and it will be coming in next week...i will be installing it into my 6th gen coupe...i dont think there is much of a difference into the engine bays...i was inquiring about this also so i emailed the guy and he sent me instructions....cant seem to find it now but i'll post it when i find it...

 

OK, i know this may sound really stupid, but i will ask anyway. What is an h22? I'm not some idiot know-nothing about cars, either, im just not up on the honda engine numbers. I only purchased my Acoord 2 months ago, before that it was sr20de's, l28's, and 4g63's. BTW: I have a ULEV in my car and was thinking about swaps......when an add for a part says : Accord 98-00 4cy, is that a ULEV?(are all accord 4cyl's ULEV?) Thanks for educating a fool......

H22 = Prelude DOHC VTEC engine. People here love them.

 

welcome to the board
try reading http://www.h22a.org/ for some general info, pics, and videos of accords with h22's

 

not all 4 cylinder 6th gens are ULEV...i think they were only sold in certain states

 

I'm not sure but I thin ULEV is for Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle.I'm pretty sure they all are. I remember seeing a show on TV about the Honda emissions and the engineer was saying that the emissions on the 6th Gen Accords were so low that they were actually cleaner than most cities outside air you breathe.

 

wow tree hugging technology

 

Tree hugging ,power robbing....

 

or non power giving, i mean seriously clean and efficient is one thing but this has gone over the edge.....

if you want to save the damned planet stop cutting down all the goddamned tress and paving over everything in sight

 

thanks to areyouasian for the pics

 

SWEET! OPEN THROTTLE BODY!!!

It is not my car. H-T name areyouasian emailed the pics along with some pointers about the swap.

Basically it takes a combination of accord + prelude mounts...

 

6th gens are still fairly expensive cars to be pulling apart and swapping motors.


A 5th gen has it in looks, weight and availability of aftermarket performance parts.


Accords are difficulat enough to tune. Why make it more difficult in tuning a harder platform?

 

Not any more.

I love the way the 6th gen looks. As far as aftermarket performance parts the H22A has plenty.


Because it possible? Because my DSM sucks? Because I want something different without having to sell my cars?

Don't get me wrong. I am just kidding around. I do appreciate your input, I just do not see much hope with a fmax kit either......

Here is an example....

Someone with the following mods will hit 200WHP with a f23A1.

AEM CAI - DC CC headers - AEM pulleys - AEM Camgear - ZEX 75 shot - ZEX plugs - Zex pressure guage - Denso IK16 plugs - Magnecor KV85 plug wires - APEXi SITC - APEXi VAFC - B&M Short Shifter - Autometer A/F guage - Autometer OP guage - APEXi RS exhaust.

Is it worth it. Maybe. Really depends on what you want to do.



Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!

 

Great pics....wow, that looks really nice.



Why doesn't that engine have an Air filter assembly?

 

that is also not my car but i talked to the guy who owns that car, he sent me that picture, i think it doesnt have the intake in there because he took that picture right after the swap.

his car is still for sale on ebay. heres the link if anyone is interested.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1859913901

i think he wants like 16000 for it if i remember correctly from his emails...which isn't bad considering if you paid to get a swap into a 6th gen its in the upwards of about 6 grand.
