Default Update on engine swap..

Well, I usually hang in the FI forum, but occasionalliy visit the Accord forum too.

Background info: Been building up a seperate F22b2 for my accord. It's using Eagle H22 rods mated to custom CP pistons (we worked out about 9.5:1 c/r) and ACL bearings. Been building this thing slowly for about 2 years now. Finally did the swap this weekend. Also put an Action 1MS and B&M FPR on it. *edit: forgot to add that it's held together with ARP H23 studs (which work fine on an f22b2)*

This was a lot of work with all the accessories still attached, but managed to get the engines in and out w/o even having to open an A/C line. It was a tight fit though. We did have the radiator out because it broke on us (see pics) - so that gave us a little more room.

Either way, swap is done, and new engine seems to be running well Fingers crossed. Now it's time to start shopping for FI parts

ps: change your fuel filter while the engine's out. MUCH EASIER - try to get a 14mm line wrench too so you don't round off your fuel line.

pics if you're interested:

how much more power do you think all of these alterations will give your motor, before FI?

there doesn't seem like there would be much...the only real performance he'd see is from the extra .7 c/r and that's not much to really make all that much difference...but this seems like it'd hold quite a bit of boost...good luck with the project...it's always good to see blown f's...

Yeah, I wasn't looking for much more power naturally aspirated. This is just in preparation for boost. It's too early to tell, esecially since rings are still seating, but it does feel a tad more torquey, but nothing significant. I also like the motor mount insert - definitely creates more vibration, but just makes the whole car feel "tighter" - and that was only $15

your car is OBDI. search and you will find that there was a write up done with EVERYTHING you will need for a swap. i believe its in the guide at the top of the forum, but if not bagged93accord has posted it a couple of times to help narrow your search
