    a6 swaped for b1

    hey guys i have done a few swaps in my day but i have read many diffrent things about this swap. i have a 92ex 4dr (got to love the 4 drs) w/ an f22a6 in it the kid i got it from spanked the rings and vales in it so have a f22b1 out of a 96 wagon layin a round and read that i can do this swap and keep my stock ecu and harness and it will bolt right in because i am usin the a6 tranny. (i know i should go doch but on tight buget so please dont hound me about the shoc.) but is it true the my ecu and harness will run the motor? i know i will have to rewire some things b/c of obd1 car to an obd2 motor but thats fine. how hard is this swap really?

    Honestly, you gotta change alot of things to do it. I would take the head from the A6, get it checked out and do new valve seals, then pop it on top of the B1 block. It then should bolt into the car like stock. The bottom ends are basically the same between the F22Ax and F22Bx.

      You'll have to do some rewiring for VTEC, and to convert the motor to OBD1. You'll want to use the ECU from a 94-95 F22B1 (OBD1... should be a P0A) The PT6, the F22A6 ECU, will run the motor, but not properly, and VTEC won't work.


      Now, I say this all the time... at least you have a reason for it, so I can't say "don't do it"... but the F22B1 is a godawful motor. Reliable, efficient... but garbage in terms of performance. If you want to make this car into something fun, not just something to get from point A to point B, I would suggest selling or trading that F22B1 for another F22A6... or something a little more potent from the factor, like an H22A, F20B, H23A, or F22B DOHC.

        Similar, but not identical. Some modification would need to be done on the B1 block to have the A6 head work properly, I would think.

        Though I would probably do that over the full B1 swap myself! My dislike for the B1 is borderline insane, though. I love that engine like a Nazi loves a Rabbi.

            The DSM turbo is too small... and the mani won't work (as you said, you have someone to make it... but the DSM mani that fits on the F22A is one of the big draws to DSM setups). You can use the injectors... that's about it.


            What part of PA are you in? I'm about 10 minutes from Philly... and finding Honda parts isn't hard at all.
