uhm swap the sensors from the 2.2L onto the 2.3L and while you are at it put an exhaust header on it to get some small gain (10hp) while you got the engine out of the car.

plugs are most likely different for the sensors on a f23 motor

both are cable driven systems so I believe that you don't need to swap intakes but if the TB's don't swap then you might have to .....

yes swap sensors and use wireharness from blown engine

i think that i can help you and i think you can help me!! I have a 98 acura cl with a h22a motor swap. I kept MY F23 (2.3) ENGINE HARNESS (IT IS STOCK WITH ALL THE CONNECTORS.....I HOWEVER NEED THE 2.2 ENGINE HARNESS OUT OF THE 97 CL (BUT ONLY IF IT IS A MANUAL ENGINE HARNESS) SO, I WOULD BE UP FOR AN EVEN TRADE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
