Hi everyone! been playing with the thought of a k series on a 5th gen since currently my engine (f22) needs overhaul. Search thru the forum but found no significant lead on a build except for one build (Honda Accord Engine Swap - Tech - Honda Tuning Magazine). Need your inputs. Many thanks

 

Been done, there's two on HondaSociety right now IIRC.

There's also J swap stuff as well.

 

Do you have a 94-95 or 96-97? An F23A* swap is ridiculously easy on the 96-97 cars, and gives better power/fuel economy for a very, very low cost. Don't be fooled by the manufacturer's ratings, the F23A*'s power is WAY more than the F22's. I went from an F22B2 to an F23A1 and noticed a huge difference. I have $500 invested into my entire swap(Engine, ECU, new clutch, fluids, belts, etc), and lots of spare parts that came with my engine that I could sell. Bang for buck, it's your best bet. Making better than H-series power and torque isn't too hard to do with the correct parts, but experimenting and getting the tune down is paramount. Unless you have 8K burning a hole in your pocket and you MUST dump into into your Accord that's going to be out of commission for a while... a K-swap isn't worth it IMHO. They're great engines, but for the cost of a swap, you can get into a very nice RSX, TSX, or something that's a factory K-series car. For the cost of a K, you can do a J-series V6 swap. But that's apples vs oranges vs pears. It really all depends on what your plans are with the car.

 

Thanks for the info, will surely look it up.

thanks crisnick, duly noted. Though I havent really made up my mind which route to go, my 5th gen been sitting in the garage for a couple of months now so before I start rebuilding, might as well look at other options.

thanks
