Ordering the P28 this week. Currently the engine is still running off the stock H22A4 ECU and it's quite rich. Still trying to find what wires need to be ran to "plug-n-play"

I have done the swap to in my lude but from a f20a4 to h23a vtec things that i have done:
* I used the JDM h23a vtec fuel rail and i made a custom fuel feeding line or you can swap the fuel rail from your h22 than the line is long enough if the injectors from your h22 are 340 cc use them.
* OBD1 Distributor.
* p06 ecu chipped to p28 with h23a vtec basemap for few weeks after that i got it tuned. Don't drive with a basemap for a longtime because it have to be tweaked for your parts and can damage your engine in the worst scenario.

I forgot a few things maybe you cloud ask me when you come up with anything.

You cant use a h22a4 oil pan because the h23 has a longer stroke so your crankshaft will hit the oil pan if u want u change the oil pan i dont know why???????????? then use the f23 one thats the one that will fit it.
i didnt change my oil pan oil pump and my oil pick up and im driving it like that for a year now. If you want to rev it higher you can use the oil squirters and if you want to do it save get your crankshaft balanced new bearings

Well, the flimzy pan that comes on the H23A is easy to crush, so it was changed out. NO IT WILL NOT HIT WITH THE CRANKSHAFT. Fits fine once you change over the oil pick up as well. No issues with it. Car has been running issue free for about 3-4 weeks now on the stock H22A4 ECU. Chipped P28 gets here today. Tuning tomorrow.
