My f22 blew the other day, so I picked up a 88k mile f23 from an 01 accord from a local honda graveyard and picked up all the manual conversion parts and started to tackle the beast last night.......


The original idea was to do a 6spd J series swap but Im waiting on rywire to complete the harness they are working on. so this is what Im doing for now.

I picked up as well an obd1 f22 vtec dizzy and a 94 vtec ecu, im using a 93 manual harness and hardwiring vtec, blah blah blah.....

Im using a 94-97 manual trans mount with bracket on my m2s4 tranny so I didnt have to drill out the spot welds and weld in another bracket for the mount but since I do not have any taps, I cant thread the two punched holes on the case to fit that.

I guess the 94-95 shifter will not work with 90-93 cables...I didnt really see that anywhere on the auto-manual conversion threads floating around so Im stuck there....

So far the obd1 harness connects to everything but the Idle controle valve and the injectors(which i plan on swapping out the connectors)
I need to search on that but if anyone has done this part themselves and can chime in please do so!!!

Anyways back to the build here:

Im planning on using a nissan t28 since I have a spare one from my sr20 car and only doing about 5-8lbs. Low boost I know, but I dont need much for this car, just wanting a quick DD. Dont want H22 cause I have done that one already lol

Progress now is the old Auto F22A6 is out(blown HG and knocking Rod and Slipping poo auto trans)
F23A1 with m2s4 tranny in, shift cables,master cylinder, hydro lines, ect in...

Is there any easier way to get the 93 manual ex accord mount and bracket to work or am I going to have to thread the pre punched stud holes on the tranny?

The Ipod touch is dead at the moment but I will have pictures of stuff soon.

 

pictures of the progress.

Im stuck right now until tomorrow. I have the wrong shifter lol

 

what motor mounts did you use for that?

 

Yea what motor mounts, ecu, tranny and axles did you have to use??
