Is this engine a direct drop in? If not what else is needed to complete the swap? Thanx

 

Yes but it rarely goes smoothly. So many combinations of chassis and motors and electronics.
As you might guess this question comes up a lot. I've gotta go to bed but if you just browse through the last 14 days of threads here you'll probably find all you need to know.

 

It depends which generation Accord you have... if you have a 5G or 6G SOHC VTEC Accord, it'll slide right in... where you run into a lot of little problems are worn engine mounts, missing parts on the H22, and the wiring...

 

Hey, what's a good price range I can expect for a decent H22A drop in my 95 accord? (part, labor, and misc?) Thanks

 

just parts or parts and labor?
would you do the swap yourself?

 

Parts & labor, i'm not doing it myself... no experience/tools..

 

Budget up to 10 thousand dollars. you probably won't even get near half that, but you really need a lot of overhead for unforseen emergencies.
I budgeted $6K, but that was no where near enough for my specific application.

 

95 accord coupe is going to need a prelude drivers side motor mount grinded down to fit. If ur going with a JDM H22 be ready to extend the prelude wiring harness unless u want to buy a US one. Re-use accord axles, and u will probably need a custom pipe off the manifold to the A-pipe. Expect a bunch of little problems like mounting the ECU wont work on the factory location, u will have to use self-tapping screws, knowing stuff like this in advance helps out. Do a search on Hondasociety.com's Hybrid Accord forum, there is alot of useful info and more H22 swap info than there is here. Good Luck

 

It's not required to replace that mount, but its recommended... as for the A-pipe adapter, yes, that's required.... but that's an easy out-source for a basic shop... where you're going to see hell is with the wiring...
