i Bought my my first honda 3 weeks ago...95 accord ex...
the engine started making a wierd noise... i pulled off the oil pan and there was pieces of the engine, not only that u could wiggle the crankshaft/flywheel... BLOWN ENGINE!
anyhow... i decided to to buy a jdm h22a instead of replacing the f22
i been researching online, theres alotta posts on this swap cause its very common! but could never get straight answers on some questions ..lol

My car: 95 accord ex 5 spd (obd1)
the engine i bought is a jdm h22a,92-96 spec
it stared out as a automatic.

heres my questions:

Is my h22a the 180 HP version??? i thought all the blacktop h22a's were 200hp 161 tq.... maybe using the manual ecu/setup will bring it to 200hp??

i know the accord mounts work..... i the left mount has to be modified.... but which one? the accord or prelude mount??

will my existing ob1 accord wiring harness work on the h22a? where do i have modify/extend

will the accord power steering pump bolt up to the h22a or do i have get the prelude one?

im not planning of keeping cruise control.... will the accord throttle cable work???

will the car start up and run on the accord ecu?? what are the setbacks?

thanks!

you can use all the accord mounts except the driver side...use the prelude if you have it...but i say dont bother and buy performance mounts

yes use your accord haress and just wire the vtec...you may need to cut some of the plastic on the harness to make some plugs reach

use the accord p/s pump AND bracket and everything should line up perfect

the accord throttle cable will work without the cruise control

dont use your stock ecu...get a p13 or a p28 with a tune...dont be cheap it will only hurt you in the long run...good luck

 

In order to make your F22 pwr steering pump work on your H22 engine is to get the 97+ lude bracket. Thats what I did to mine so I don't have to run around town to get the pwr steering line custom.

 

idk dude...when i did my swap i used the accord pump and bracket...prelude p/s pump pulley only...and the line mounted perfect and the belt was just the right length

 

we are gonna run the f22 crank pulley on the h22 to see what happens

 

Yeah, at the time of my swap, it was my first time. So, a few guys have been telling me that in order to keep your f22 pump and line, you'll need the 97+ lude bracket but I guess it worked for you which is good to know.

They're actually the same in diameter and ribbs. People say they're different but I found them the same.

 

I used the crank pully from the F22 due to the H22's being chipped. I also used the ps pump and a/c compressor/ bracket from the F22 and the alt from the H22. With this combination, the Accords belts work great.

I am almost done with my swap (JDM H22a into 96 accord) but need the pinout for a JDM obd1 p13 ecu with 4 plugs to my 96 odb2? From what I have read, the 4th plug (C) was for 4ws and I will not need it. I purchased a conversion harness online before I realized the issue but don't know if it will work.
