To my knowledge, no one has done a DBW engine into a 98-02 Accord.
It's much easier to do a J32A2 or J35A3/A4 swap. Even so, most people don't know how to do the wiring harness to retain all cluster functions, etc.
Mechanically, the J32A3 or J35A8 **Should be fairly straightforward to drop in. Its the wiring of the ECU that is going to be a pain in the ***. You would need to be familair with both Accord and the Acura wiring digrams, and be able to do some repinning on a harness with a piggy back, if you go that route.
** I am a person that has paid an individual to do my swap for me, all i can tell you is what engines are being swapped in these days, and I have not seen or heard a DBW engine into a 98-02 Accord..
