hello everyone i have some questions if i were to swap an f20b into a 96 accord 1. what axles would i need....2. would i have to use the f20 ecu or could i use a chipped one from my f22 but get it tuned after install....3 would my f22 tranny mount up or do i need some type of conversion...4. and any other odds and ends that i would need or modification any info would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

1-Use the Accord axles. 2-The F20b uses a 3 wire IAC. If you use your F22 harness and a tune, you will have to convert to a 2 wire IAC. 3- Your F22 trans will bolt right up. But the long gear ratios will suck on the torqueless F20b. You might be better off with an H22 trans or install the more powerful H23 DOHC VTEC Bluetop.

 

Easiest fix for the 3 wire IACV is to swap out the top half of the intake plenum with one off an OBD1 H22A. The F20B factory fitted trans drops out of VTec between gear changes so I would hate to think how it would be with the F22 Trans.

 

horrible is the only word to describe the F22 trans.

It's like driving a Type-R with an LS trans. F'ing useless.

I know, my H23A is still mated to a F23 trans. If you get a VAFC or something, you can mess with the VTEC point, but that trans will grind at high rev's.

If you turbo it, then maybe that trans would be optimal.

good luck

did u ever get this figured out let me know l wanna do the f20b swap?

 

im up in the air about this now theres other options like u guys say h23 or the h22 but im reasearching these motors and gonna see which is best thanks for the info and ill keep u posted..

 

ok thanks i have a friend who ended up with 2 1st blew bad company 2nd worked bada** sounds awesome youtube truespeedcd5 nasty accels l think if u get entire swap all u need is a p28 chipped and tuned same axles etc just need wiring done. jdm direct sells the motor,trans lsd,ecu, harness,alt,starter all that for like 1500-1700 ebay too just not sure of but l think u go this route with tranny and etc ur ok

 

H22 is quicker, just a thought but F20b have the S type cams in them.

 

I found that the H22 was cheaper and easier

 

Only a manual F20B has Type S cams. If it came from an auto, then it'd be regular H22 cams, and the auto is much more common.

 

What about some random no starts s????
