I have a 95 accord lx with a f22b non vtec. Im searching for an engine and i have found a f22b dohc. I need to know if this is going to be a direct swap, or do i need to get anything else to do the swap? ecu? mounts? Thanks!

 

jdm f22b dohc = f22 bottom + h23 head
9.2:1 compression (h23 = 9.8:1), 160hp/148ft lbs (h23 = 160hp/156ft lbs)

so it's basically going to be like swapping an h23 into your accord.

i think i read somewhere that you can get away with running your stock ecu for the time being, but they recommended a p13, P39(jdm f22b dohc ecu), or one that's chipped to run your motor.

for engine mounts, you're going to need a prelude driver side mount. the rest will work just fine as long as you're not doing an automatic to manual swap at this point too. otherwise you will need the transmission mount also.

the wiring's not hard. just follow a writeup on installing an h22 and forget about vtec and a few other things i believe.

here's an h22 write up:

EDIT: to keep your powersteering, you're going to need a 97+ prelude ps bracket. I forgot to mention that. I removed my ps, so i didn't need the bracket

why should i need to change the wiring? shouldnt it be the same because it is f series to f series?

 

the f22b wiring is the same and it is a great swap for the money.

just cuz its f series doesnt mean anything... you would have to change the wiring on an f23 or f20b or even an f22b1 (you have a b2)

 

so what wiring issues should i be looking forward to with the swap?

 

please search, there are people who have done this swap before on here. see if you can message them and ask.

 

ok i have a jdm f22 doch and having timing belt issues. what timing belt would i use cuz it goes from slack to tight when u turn it manually and when it runs it slaps the timing belt cover. what belt do i need?

 

Gsr timing belt
