    91 LX going to do SWAP With Vtech From 97 Accord HELP HELP HELP

    Hi,
    At this point my accord is to the point where it will require over 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles, the car runs really smooth, no problems, gets up to speed normal nothing out of the ordinary. Somehow this car will consume a lot of oil. I do know that the seals are bad (blue smoke at start), but at the same time I do not to put any more money in this engine.
    Just today I found a used engine out of 97 Accord V-tech with 85,000 proven carfax miles. At this point I am willing to swap the engine and continue with my life.
    My question is:
    Will that engine fit without modifications?
    ECU?
    Axels?
    Can I use my old transmission?

    Basically what is involved in the engine swap?
    Is is worthily to spend money and time on this project?
    Do I have to change anything else on the car?

    I know there are a lot of questions, but of you can answer some of them I will appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    If the valve seals are bad then just replace them. No use swapping a motor over dried up seals if you dont plan on swapping to a H22a. To answer your question about the F22b1 VTEC (notice my spelling now), Yes it will fit BUT only years 94-95 will work because your car is OBD1 (correct me if its obd0) and is not compatible with OBD2. Its actually a harder swap from what I hear compared to the H22a. All H and F series transmissions are interchangeable 90-97 (manual) and 90-95 (automatic). You will use the same axles when doing any F or H engine swap. But in my opinion I would drive that bastid till the damn thing dies which wont be anytime soon if you take care of it.

      At this point I do take care of my engine, as I have always done and will do
      I always use Valvoline Maxlife and a Bosch Filter
      I change the oil every 3000 miles
      The only reason why I don't think about changing the valve seals is because it involves to much work taking the head out, having to change the little rubber seals and so on.
      Can I use some type op oil additive to correct the problem just for now until I decide what to really do
      At this point I am probably the most anti oil additive person on the planed, so I will absolutely hate to do that. But if i have no other option???

      Thanks!

        There will be some wiring involved for VTEC (not Vtech), as well as an OBD1 conversion, as the F22B1 in a 97 Accord is OBD2.


        Honestly, unless you're getting this motor for a VERY good deal, it's a downgrade. Don't be fooled by the VTEC... It's an absolute turd of a motor in terms of performance. Get it if you want a newer motor that will be reliable and efficient, but if you think it'll be a performance upgrade because it's VTEC, you're sorely mistaken.

        You can try an additive, but they are only temporary fixes. I would recommend finding another F22A in good shape... or upgrading to a motor that will give worthwhile gains, such as the F22B DOHC, H23A, or H22A.
