depends on if the motor is obd2a or not if you want a obd2a p14 i've got one that you can run on that h23 motor mounts are the same as your h22 just re-use your stock h22a4 tranny mount everything else depends on your engine whether its obd2a or obd1 figure out what obd the engine is then go from there on what you need to do wiring wise

Why you going H23(maybe for boost?)? or are you talking about the H23 DOHC VTEC? :D

got a chipped p13 so i can plug into obd 1 cause engine is obd 1. i also have the stock ecu i could put back in. do u think it would be easier to put the wiring back to stock and then it would just be direct swap with the h23 v tec??????

P13 is a VTEC ECU, and unless your H23 is VTEC, I don't recommend trying to drive far with it. You need a P14. If the car is already swapped to OBD1, you need an OBD1 P14.
