Hi, I have a 1995 honda accord 5spd non-vtec 2.2 motor i believe it's the f22a.

Now i wanted to throw in the f22b (vtec) motor, but have some questions before i start the task

1) I do know that i will need a vtec ecu and wire harness, but i was wondering if there are any empty pins on my stock harness that i can pin wires into to use the new vtec ecu?

2) Can I use my f22a tranny?

3) Any other things i need to know or get before i start this task?

Thank You

 

1) look in the FAQ and question forum (F22b1 head swap), there is alot of info that will be usefull to you. You do have empty pins that will be used. You will need the correct ECU(POA) for auto or manual depending on which transmission you have.

2) yes the trans will bolt up fine.

3)You should have a F22B2 (Its stamped on the front of the block next to the exhaust manifold) in there now unless someone swapped it previously. It should be very straight forward, you will need to add two wires to the harness, for the VTEC solenoid, and the VTEC pressure switch, and a groung form the solenoid.

 

that was a great write up..but i didn't see him mention where i run the wires to :S also the pictures didn't show up

 

+1, i still have a 90 accord with a 94 vtec motor and tranny on it and it don't start
