get the h22a...cant help with a price sorry
Sorry for my lack of knoledge but i don't know engines at all... is this a straight swap? will i need a new gear box?
yea its a relatively straight swap.. the engine is out of prelude models and sports a twin cam head rather then the sohc of the f22b.. you can get jdm half cuts for around 2000-2500 comes with the gearbox and the lot.. you can do the conversion yourself if you have a little bit of auto knowledge and the h22a swap guide.. best value for money performance upgrade for an accord imo..
why would your current engine die? They last for aaaaaaaaaaaages
i don't know how long ages is but i just clocked over 201,000 so i'm gunna asume it aint to far off :p
Thanx for the info b00std very helpful is this the same for an auto... i sure hope so
like poid says, there is no reson why the F22 wont go into the 400 000 with out probs. 200 000 is nuthing to a f22 engine with decent service history. you will be waiting a long time
lol clocking over 200k doesnt mean anything, i was just under 220k when i boosted it :p
hahahaaha honda engines rule, they go on and on and on.
You should chuck a 2.0l vtec blue top engine from JustJap if you are in Sydney. How original would that be! Very Rare but they got one or at least had one when I was last there. They have the whole front cut, Be different and straight bolt in, also get all the top of the range goodies. I think it is a Type S accord.
The F20 is a harder swap than the H22A. Apparently the dizzy/ignition pack needs modifying, the intake manifold needs modifying, and the mount where the cambelt is needs modyfying, and I'm not sure if you will have any problems with the ECU. (This info is from another forum member in NZ). Those aret he major ones.Quote:

The engine comes out of the JDM 6th gen Accord SiR (auto) and the Sir-T (manual).
But yeah it's a good engine. As for the F22 - keep up with maintanence and that engine will last a long time.

I still have the f22 in my accord, as mentioned before regular service and maintaining of the f22 will give you good service and last a long time, i was under the same impression a while back that the k's were getting high the engine will need replacing, as mentioned this is not true, but one hell of a excuse to do the h22 swap!!!!
im currently sitting on 209.000 in my 95 it starts frist time and runs a like a charm couldnt be happer actually.
2000-2500 for the engine etc is right, depending on where you go and and if they know what they are doing depends on additonal cost for installing
