I don't know enough about Hondas to know if this is a legal swap for a '94-97 Accord. Is the SOHC VTEC F22B1 a JDM engine, or was it sold in the USA as well? The cars are on the same line in the rulebook, so I guess the question is whether that engine is JDM only and / or if it was sold in the USA paired with a 5 sp.

The car in question is a '94 - '97 gen (dunno which year) Accord that currently has the SOHC non-VTEC F22B2 and an auto trans, and the swap is to the VTEC B1 with a 5 speed.

legal?

thanks in advance.

just make sure the engine you get is the usdm engine. they may have the same code, but one may be higher compression.

I could have put a 2001 f23a1 in my 90 accord, if I wanted to prep the car to sp rules.

 

well, was there a USDM version or was it JDM only?

BTW...it ain't my car (as you can tell from looking at my sig).

thanks for the input.

 

F22B1 was the USDM motor, as that was the motor in my 5G Accord.

 

Isnt that the EX model engine? That could be had with a 5 speed..... so, legal swap if the cars are on the same line in the rulebook, its legal.

i'm sure those motors are cheap too
