I'm interested in dropping in a Euro Accord Type-R engine into my '94 Accord EX (Canadian model). I'm wondering how hard would it be, what kind of availability of mods are there (I haven't seen many parts for sale for a Type-R engine...would there be a North American equivalent, i.e: A newer V-6 model Accord?), what other engines have interchangable parts (it's an F20B, so would the S2000 engine have interchangable parts, etc.)

Also, I've seen alot of contrasting info on the engine, does anybody have the real specs. readily available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Go with the H22. Its cheaper ($1,000+ cheaper), has a lot more available parts, and you're not really sacrificing much power. The time, energy, and money you save will make you forget the Euro-R.

 

As far as I know the S2K parts are not interchangeable with any other vehicle. It is a completely different application.

 

The ATR engine is a H22A7.
There are no interchangeble parts with the S2000 engine.

The swap would be quite complicated because it is a OBD2 engine, so you would have to recable the eletrical part.
You dont find many things for the ATR because in Europe there are not many people that tune Hondas and there were very few ATRs sold.

h22 it up man. my opinion anyway. why get the euro r when u can get the jdm type r.

 

Good luck even trying to find and afford a ATR (F20B in early models, H22A in later) or Euro R (H22A7) motor.
I'd type out the specs but obviously there are much easier, cheaper choices.

 

I've got one lined up for 3000$ USD, and the reason I want to do it is because it's not something that many people do. Whereas with the H22 Accords...Well I see atleast 1 of them per day.

And thanks for all the help/suggestions so far.

 

That deal sounds too good to be true.
Anyway the S2000 F20C is a clockwise spinning motor, totally unrelated to the counterclockwise-spinning F20B (which is really a short stroke H22).
Besides the usual "R" upgrades such as hand porting and single runner intakes, a ATR or Euro R motor is mechanically identical to the H and you can use all the same "upgrades."
Again, your deal sounds too good to be true. The cost effective method has been to get any old H motor and build it up oneself. I dunno about any OBD problems you may have or even if your current car or donor motor have OBD.

 

just go with the h22 im sure u would be much more happy after the swap

 

i hate to say it but thats why h swaps are so popular. relatively cheap and powerful for our hefty girls.
