H22 from the prelude

to you that may be the ideal swap, but not necessarily to everyone.

[Night Wolf]

its the only one I remember

[trickedaccord92]

H22 out of 92-95 prelude 200HP ??? TQ average $2500 for complete swap w/ you doing the work (you can use f22ax tranny but most people dont recomend it)
H23 out of 92-95 prelude Si (OEM) 160 HP ??? TQ average $1100 for an engine you can use f22ax tranny need p14ecu though
F22B DOHC out of prelude Si (JDM) 160 HP 148 TQ average $650 for an engine can use f22ax tranny and all bottom end parts h23 head parts and you need either a p14ecu with knock sensor or p39 ecu

(also on ecus you can always opt to go with a chipped ecu)

those are the best ones in my opinion, its all a matter of how much your willing to spend and what your looking to do with it. hope that helps but if you have the cash you can do anything with it people have put V8s in our chasis as well as K series and i have even heard of an SR20DETT in our chasis

You can get a F20a DOHC or SOHC. They are direct swaps except if you have a 92 to 93 Accord cause then your gonna need to change the F20a to External from Internal dizzy. You can run fine on your existing ECU but optimal is a PT2 ECU. Its a heck of alot cheaper then any other swaps plus these motors give few more horses and allow a higher reving of the motor. I belive this is the best option if you just need a new motor and dont want to spend alot of money getting a High grade H22 or F22b series motors with a price tag of 1500 min with final costs up to 4k. F20a's are low mileage motors as well costing 350 for the block and final cost around 680 dollars.

Hi there papi so whats the difference between the f20 and the f22 apart from the displacement lol

[jdmcord]

fab your own mounts and go with k24

if he has to ask about what swap to do, chances are he isn't going to be capable of fabbing up his own mounts..

... What would be an ideal engine to replace an F22A1 for more horses under the hood ... .

There is no ideal. It depends on what you want to accomplish, and for how much.

I know a guy who put an F23 from a '98 into one of his CB7s. Reused the head from the F22 so there was no need to scrounge for the computer and worry about VTEC wiring etc.

So he's not getting the full 150hp those can do but even so he said it was still a noticeable improvement in power --- long stroke motors always feel good down low. And unlike with an H22, ya don't need premium gas.

the easiest for the money would be f22b dohc. and i recomend it cause i have it on the car.

if you wana talk about easiest for the money, then it would be a jdm f22b or h23 head swap.

its basically the same thing as the h23 or jdm f22b for much cheaper than the full engine, and its easier too.

well....... there some guys i know who own a few imports one a crx and another a 92 accord, but they got their engines from overseas in the japan market. They said somehting like every 40,000 miles or soemthing japanesse cars change engines out or something so they got their engines cheap i guess. BUt i can fabricate my own mounts at the house of hack if i can get into the shop. SO dont presume to know soemthign about someoen before you even know em lol.

I thought the easisest swap was the F20A motors. I thought the F22b motors are V-tec
