Default 6th gen swaps

So I've found almost nothing on people swapping motors into their 6th gen accords or if they do they are very vague on the details!

long story short my engine is shot in my 2001 accord ex ulev and so i need a new motor. Whats the best route to go from here: h23vtec (which i can find almost no info on), F20b, or H22? I'm looking to do this swap quickly and easily as possible. If none of these options are too easy then ill just drop a f23 back in but don't really want to do that. I've put an H22 into a gen 4 accord before and am looking for the same ease or easier.

for argument sake lets say the cost of the engine is a none issue (even though money is always an issue )

yea i have been searching for info too theres hardly any info for 6th gen swap i found this info about swaping a h22 in a 6th hope this helps http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=27142 but yea right now i have a unfinished h22a4 accord in my garage the person that did the swap didnt know how to wire it up i might create a write up about the wiring. the only thing that looks hard is just wring the distributor and the temp sending unit sensor im going to run a chipped obd1 ecu hopefully this works

cool thanks! ill check out that link! i hadn't mentioned in my prior post but the h22 that i put into the 93 i am in the process of putting into the 6th gen. the dizzy was a problem and idk if we got the wiring right, but i have a chipped ecu and i don't think the temp will ever work unless i wire right to the cluster but...
the thing is that the engine wont run and im at a loss. The POS car is ulev and a wiring nightmare! Im starting to think the f20 is the way to go and might sell the H. just wanted to hear some opinions!

if you write that wiring guide PLEASE let me know! i could use the help!

One guy over at SuperHonda[dot]com had a wiring nightmare with his JDM F20B when he swapped it in his 6th Gen Accord. Just to warn you, everybody that has done a F20B swap will say the wiring is alot harder than a regular H setup. But that shouldn't stop you though as there's only one way to find out right? Good Luck.
