I found an F22b swap for a good price including tranny and ecu. I want to swap it into a 94 accord ex. Now i know that H22 would be a better swap, but the price difference between the too is BIG. So does anyone know what things i should worry about during the swap? things i need to change? Also is the flywheel of the F22b1 interchangeable with the F22b?

I am noob to swaps so any input would be helpfull and greatly appreaciated.

 

the f22b is the jdm version of the usdm h23a1 prelude Si motor. they have pretty much all the same stats and they have interchangeable parts. i am not sure about the f22b1 thing though. i know all f and h series trannies are fine to switch out. good idea with the swap though... its different and i have heard that stock times on the f22b are usually slightly better than the h23a1. goodluck

 

where u getting your motor swap from? Im getting mines once i sell my stock motor and tranny. I heard the one of the motor mounts might not align. Why are u so concern about the flywheel? doesnt your new motor swap include a flywheel like u said? its included in the package, right?

 

well... somebody put an ad. in the import parts for sale. He says that it has a bad flywheel, otherwise the motor is in perfect condition, which is why am asking about the flywheel. F22b's has 160hp thats why i think that H22's are better. But again, the price differense between the two is huge. Another thing that am really concerned about is finding aftermarket parts. Unless i know for sure that parts from H22's or F22b1's could be used on the F22b, i dont think am getting the swap done. BTW, i've seen many complete F22b swaps being sold on ebay for around $700-900.

here's a link of the swap for sale

 

dude dont get it.. if the flywheel is fucked up.. thats more or less means there sumthing alot bigger wrong with it.. pass that shit up.. try and find a motort swap with NO problems at ALL

 

oh man!! it's only 250 bucks. what actually could mess up the flywheel?

 

if the flywheel is messed up, then the crank could also be messed up, and that would be a pain in the ass.

 

my plans are cancelled. I have to start saving and get a H22 swap or actually sell this slow pos and get something better. Thanks for all the inputs!

 

get a h22, you'll be happier. besides, if you have a 94 accord ex then you have 145hp. $250 for motor, plus i believe you have to change two of the mounts $$$, the the power steeing hose cut and welded(your accord hose wont work)$$$. change some of the wires on your harness$$$. then labor if you're not doing it yourself.

you'll end up paying at least $500 if you got the hookup on parts and labor, but more than likely alot more. for only 15 more HP. you'd be better off putting a small shot of No2 on there and calling it a day.

 

yeah true that i can get 15 hp easily, but i've heard that the F22b is a good base to work on specially for boost. So i kind of strarted planning ahead of time too. btw, what kind of numbers does your accord put?
