i am sort of looking around for a decent older accord. i am leaning towards a 92-93 SE. but i would love to have another hatchback accord. i searched around in the archives, but didnt come up with any answers i had. FIRST , i can get a f22 vtec that is in nice shape for dirt cheap. how are the fitment issues of the newer manuel f22's, IE... motor mounts/ IM clearance/ axels, into the 89 accord chasis. the car will already be a 5 spd., which i assume will be a cabel shifter. so, has anyone done this swap? and is there any funky problems that i should be aware of? i have done an h22 into a 91 accord, so i am hoping that it is on the same level of difficulty as that swap. thanks for any help you may give!

SOLD! good look, i didnt need to much arm twistin to get me to decide anyways.

i just wanted another accord hatch what can you do?

 

stick a b18 into it...

ya there are 3rd gen accords with b series... weird huh?

 

3rd gen accords aren't POS's... but yeah, it's not worth trying to put an F or H series motor into it. B-series, sure... hasport has motor mounts available for a B-series swap. you'd need a tranny from a B-series though. there were a couple guys on here that have done it, but i can't remember their screen names.

 

sift through the pic thread at the top of the page, I've seen ONE in there.

 

: thinks about the new project :

 

yeah! i have heard that there is kits for b's into the older accords, and i just happen to have an b18a swap laying around. so maybe my project days arent over.

 

Yea stick a b18c5 in there. That thing will be so sick. I would love to have a 3rd gen type r lol.

 

well, ****! thanks for all the help guys! i will be ordering the mount kit as soon as im back from vacation, then i just have to find a clean chasis. i will post more once i make some progress.
