Hi my name is Omar from Denver, i have an automatic 94 accord sedan and im looking into a swap, i just need opinions and advice I would appreciate it.

 

What are your goals and what is your budget? Those two points will be the determining factors on whether or not it is "the best" swap for you!

Off the hop I would suggest budgeting for a 5spd manual transmission swap if you want to see real gains. Or at least an H22 auto trans if you are not one with the stick!

 

J swap!!!

lol jk
stick with an H, easier project

 

Can always do the g22 Frankenstein i almost wish i had done this over my h series because i want to get forged pistons but cant because of the frm sleeves. Plus it was cheaper for me to do this over the h. But for you i highly recommend the manual swap because if you keep auto you then have to run a stock auto h ecu Or to have it tuneable you would have to piggy back that with a p28 which becomes a wire nightmare.

 

acaliguy - you could have used mahle gold series pistons.

i dont know what your hp goals were but you didnt need to sleeve the block for a G22. you only need to sleeve the block if your going booooooost it

 

F22, want more power? Beewst. Common enough to scrap a kit together. Works really well with the taller gears in the Accords transmissions.

 

Boost is my goal. Problem is with mahle gold series is they dont make them for h23a

 

My goal is to boost my swap with turbo and my budget it between 5 and 8g's. i also keep getting suggestions on a k24 but its pricier. n yess i deff want a manuel 5 speed. I want my car to be a SLEEPER with unexpected Hp n boost

Keep the f engine in the car, and do a 5 speed swap, and boost what you have.

If you have any questions, call up Sam at Importsports, or Brent up at PFI in Loveland, they would be the guys I would deal with in The Denver area for something like this.

 

see the thing is that my f22b2 is non vtec, my mom lol has A 97 accord vtec 5 speed n she wants to sell it to me

 

thats the 99-00 civic SI engine right?

 

All depends what you want to do with the car, and what you want to spend. Boost is going to make up the power of Vtec easily, as long as you don't want astronomic power, and the 94 should be lighter than the 97, but not as comfy or quiet.

If you want a quick DD, maybe buying the 97 and adding some GOOD parts to pick up the power a bit is the way to go. If you want a cheaper "sleeper" for the track or whatnot, the 94 with a 5 speed swap and boost could be the ticket. Keep in mind the boosted engine will always need more attention and maintenance, and have a higher chance of an issue at a bad time, like a super cold morning when you need to get to work/ school/ whatever.

 

Please disregard this, I smell a troll!

 

He was responding to cetcivic's post (post #9) about the B16a2. i don't think he's a troll!
