who did you plan to do your tuning if you were to go the chipped ecu route? I like to keep track of all the tuners that are around my area...competition ya know?

its a guy on a local site here call tamparacing.com and ive only talked to him a couple times just about pricing so i really dont have too much info on it. my plan is after the motor is broke in and i dont have any issues with that i want to get it tuned to run @ 15-20psi hoping to be around 300hp to the wheels. is that something that is doable using uberdata or should i just go with a piggyback or standalone system?

Wow man, those are awesome numbers. take pics of the entire setup when you have the time.


what else is required to mate the head/block together? Is a f22b a lost cause?

Default I'm right behind you...

Thanks for the inspiration... I just sealed the deal on a F22A1 for my 92 CX hatch. I guess it's time to start looking for a H23 top end...

sup guys sorry for the long delay since i updated ive just been real busy with new job an all. the car has been running fine ive only put about a 100 miles on it cause i wanted to get it tuned and i got a new fidanza flywheel that im going to put on it. I decided to go piggyback and got a emanage system and that just came in the mail a few days ago. so this weekend im hoping to install the new fly and the emanage and do sum street tuning to make sure eveything is flowing right. as soon as i get that done ill post sum more pics.

thank for all the support and help!

hey man I really wanna do this, but I have a OBD2 f22b2.... I don't understand what all I have to do. I've been searching for a write up really bad but can't find one anywhere. I would basically like to know all the parts I need to accomplish this swap. I will be building up the bottom end and head so I can boost it at the end. From what I know these are the parts I need (please correct or add to the list)

1) H23 Head and Intake Manifold
2) H23 Distributor (Internal or External???)
3) H23 Crank Gear and backing plate
4) H23 Head Bolts
5) H23 Timing Belt
6) F23 Head Gasket
7) H23 ECU

What other parts will I need to do this swap on a 1997 OBD2 Accord F22B2 LX... PLEASE HELP ME OUT

I DONT KNOW WHAT ALL CHANGED IN THE OBD 2 CARS, AS BOTH OF MINE ARE OBD1, OTHER THAT SENSOR PLACEMENTS CHANGED A LIL AND I THINK THE DIZZY'S ALL HAVE EXTERNAL COILS. IF YOU GO WITH A H23 DIZZY AND ECU I THINK YOU SHOULD USE THE H23 ENGINE HARNESS AND GET A ODB1-2 ADAPTER.

YOU SHOULD FOLLOW PRELITTLELUDE'S THREAD. HE USE THE SAME BOTTOM END THAT YOU HAVE SO THAT THREAD WOULD BE A GREAT SOURCE OF INFO. IF YOU NEED A LINK ILL POST ONE FOR U.

Hi I was wondering if there is some type of manual on how to build this type of hybrid engine and where to find all the parts needed to do it? If any one can tell me I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
