Engine swap in a 1992 Accord
I have a 1992 Accord EX, and a 1991 LX parts car. I know the basic engines are identical but is this a direct swap or do I have to change the distributor and all the sensors too? I've noticed that the ignition module is different. What about the CPU? Same , compatible or different? They are both manual 5 speeds.

Re: Engine swap in a 1992 Accord
Honda switched to an OBD-1 fuel injection system in 1992. The pre-OBD distributor, ECU, and a few of the sensors are not compatible.
The easiest way to do it is to just swap the distributors, engine wiring harnesses, and the manifolds with everything attached to them (e.g. injectors, throttle body). You'll be re-using the '92 ECU.
