I'm one of the overflow members from CD5tuner, so I've got an OBD2 car (a 97). I live in new york state, and can get around a thorough visual inspection that would fail me for having an older engine in my car, but I can't get around having to stay OBD2 to pass inspection when they plug the scanner in.
I've gotta replace the motor at some point fairly soon (current F22B2 has a nice rod knock), and I like the F22A's a lot. What I'd like to do is pull an F22A6 out of the junkyard, do a stock rebuild on it with H23 intake mani, and get it to run on my car's current ECU (or an OBD2 F22B2 manual ECU when the time comes to ditch the slushbox). Being that both engines are very similar (2.2L, SOHC, non-vtec, with the same size injectors), I'd think it wouldn't be too much of a stretch get it to work.
Basically, my questions are:
Can I just use the dizzy and coil from my F22B2 on the F22A6 head?
Can I just use the wiring harness and injectors from the F22B2?
Do the sensors "speak the same language" basically, does the ECU see a sensor from an OBD2 car the same way as the same sensor on an OBD1 car?
What sensors does my OBD2 F22B2 have that the OBD1 F22A6 doesn't?
I'd think if I can convert it to the point where the ECU can't tell the difference, I'd be fine.
