JapSpec F22B

[mj3610]

hey guys
just wanted to know if theres any difference between the Aus F22B1 and the Japspec F22Bx. i was told they're exactly the same but they just have a diff number at the end. both SOHC vtec etc...

and also wanted some info on getting an engine swap, if the engine is been sitting in the wreckors for some time, what do you need to change when you get it installed, i mean in terms of oil, sparks, fuel filter, timing belt, cam/crankshaft seals etc.
cheers

change everythign.
lol, oil pump, water pump, every seal, including head gasket etc.. that's what i would do personally.
and if got the know how, take it all apart and inspect the bottom end, most of the time it's not needed, but just in case.
lol.

i'm assuming that the number at the end of the JDM engine is due to the fact that all the JDM engines do not have "generation" numbers at the end.. e.g. b16a2********** here, is b16a******** over there.. b18c7********, is b18c******** etc. etc.

they probably would be a bit different due to the octane levels/petrol quality.. (i.e. tuned differently)

and if the engine's been sitting in the wreckers for a while (you must also consider the travel time from japan).. i suggest you do the following..

-Change Engine Oil
-Change Spark Plugs
-Change Transmission Oil
-Change Radiator Coolant
-Change Brake Fluid
-Change Timing belt (if applicable)
-Air-Con (if applicable) and Power steering belts
-Replace Filters (air/oil/fuel)
-Clutch inspection and replacement if necessary
-Clean items

hey guys this is just a replacement engine, im not getting a conversion, im just getting the bare engine changed along with gearbox. so the clutch and water pump and anything outside the actual engine stays untouched in my car.

[destrukshn]

well the pump may be correded?

so you can either change your one over to the new motor.
but change all gaskets and seals.

think the guy told me they're sohc, if i get the japspec would i need to change the ecu as well?

[SiReal]

the F20B is dohc vtec. Always though tht F22bs were sohc.

[Eclipsor]

There is a f22b dohc non vtec. The americans are all chucking them in their cb accords.

if its F22B with no number then its dohc non-vtec.

You'll need to find out exactly which engine it is...F22B1 is sohc vtec for example while F22B2 is sohc non-vtec

think of the F22B as an F series block with H23A head on it, thats basically what it is

[ECU-MAN]

the JDM F22B VTEC engine is a straigt bolt in into a AUDM CD5

use the factory POA ECU

change the spark plugs, timing belt and balance belt. adjust tappets
change rear main seal if its leaking


you will need to put the AUDM thermostat housing on the engine and the AUDM top hose housing. this way you will be able to run the original thermo fan temp sensors. leave the EGR installed but do not connect it. swap the top half of the intake manifold from your old engine.

its a very simple install. 5 to 6 hour Job

another issue has come up, i wanted to keep my current starter motor and tell the installer to take it off the old engine and put it on the new one, my current starter motor is basically new, the owner before me just changed it so i'd rather have that than the oem one that comes with the engine, i was told oem starter motors on the accords are nuggets.
so question is, are they hard to take off and put back on? what do you guys think i should do regarding the issue.
thanks

[ECU-MAN]

you can keep the starter motor

its a small thing to do while changing and engine and wont be a problem

it has to come off anyway
