Okay, I've done all the searches I possibly can think of, and I still haven't found the correct information that I'm looking for. I'm trying to figure out what all is needed to do this swap.

<U>What I want:</U>
'94 H23A1 into my '93 Accord.

<U>What I need to know:</U>
What all is going to be needed to do it?
<U>
What I currently have ready for the swap:</U>
My '93 Accord, and a complete '94 H23A1 minus transmission and ECU.

<U>What I know so far:</U>
F22 out, H23 in, simple as that ( that I know of ). Axles, transmission ( even though ratios are a little off ) ECU and wiring from the F22 will all work for the H23.

Please, if you could help me out w/ your experiences and wisdom of what you have been through doing said swap, post up.

Thanks,
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElusive

 

i believe iam7head has done this swap to his accord. although it is not a 93 im sure he would still have plenty of knowledge to give you that would help greatly.

here's a list i compiled for a thread awhile ago.

wires/sensors: all can be transfered from the f22b2 engine. same for the f22b1 except for the obvious vtec wires and sensors. h23 just has the knock sensor that needs to be ran to the new ecu. the one sensor that won't work is the IAT, the accord used a screw in, while the prelude doesn't. tps will fit, ect will fit, etc etc etc.

distributor/coil pack/ignition: need all the h23 stuff

mounts: need the prelude driver's side mount. will need to be shaved down to fit, exactly the same as the h22 swap. all other mounts will be fine!

axles: fseries axles will work with the h23 transmission

power steering: no clear answer yet, what i've gotten is use the prelude bracket and it will mount up fine, but since this swap is identical to the h22 swap, i guess you do have to cut and reweld one of the power steering lines. since power steering is worthless to me, i won't run into this problem.

parts needed so far: h23 engine, f/h transmission, h23 ecu, prelude ps bracket, prelude driver's side motor mount, wires y0. plenty of replcaement parts if necessary (i.e. axles, gaskets, tbelt, waterpump etc.)

so, in conclusion, the h23 swap is identical to the h22 swap except for the vtec wiring. fitment wise and wiring, they're the same. http://www.h22a.org is a good site for the swap, just ignore the vtec stuff. right now it's down, but just keep trying.

 

teamlegacy, thanks a lot man.

Bump for some more info.

 

Anyone elses views? Motor is almost out and I'm trying to get the last little kinks worked out before the H goes in.
