H22a or F20b

You can use your stock accord harness. You just need to hook up 4 more wires to the ECU. Try reading the sticky in the swaps it will help you out 10x more.

Yeah.....it would save me money wouldnt it? I just dont wanna get there with the engine then halfway through them need something i dont have and have to order it..then my car's out another day or 2..i guess if i save up the 3K i can buy the motor for like 1600 i think, pay them the 800 for labor and the extra600 i can use for any extra misc parts.

Yea you can do that but i recommend doing a full tune up as in timing/water pump, seals, plugs/wires, dizzy cap rotor and all that good stuff.

f20b, you know that the first year they started makin ghtem was in 97, last year was 01, sooo, they would only be 9 years old, rather than 14 + years old for the h22, so you know that it would be more reliable even though it has a little less mileage than the h22s.

Is the f20b a dohc vtec? if it is, then arent both it and the h22's dohc vtec with 190hp? whats the diff between the two..why get one instead of the other? is it mounting positions, bolt-in factors..??

They have alot of small differences buy it's pretty much a de-stroked H duece duece.

Does the head flow better on the F20 or the H22?

[NAiL05]

They should be the same head its just the bore/stroke is different if i remember and a couple other things.

[lokuputha]

I think the head on the Euro Accord R has a mild port and polish job from the Honda Factory, just like the Type R motors.

So compared to the regular H22's it probably flows better.

Im not very sure about the last iteration of the H22A4 though .

[NAiL05]

H22A4 is prob slightly different most likely. The main difference between the h22a4/h22a is there compression ratios. F20B run high compression but utilize the h22 head still if i remember correctly. The euro R and Type S h22a's have different IM's also with a more aggressive cam so they are different.

[Joey GT-R]

Since our cb7s have F Series engines and transmissions, wouldn't the price of the H22A and F20B kinda even up because if we bought the F20B wouldn't all we'd need was the engine itself? Because wouldn't the transmission we already have be the same one we'd get if it were a F20B swap? Meanwhile on the other hand, it would be very desirable to get the H Series transmission right?

[NAiL05]

Nooo the F series tranny on the F22A is way different from the F20B. Just cuz both have F in front doesnt mean they are the same.

[Joey GT-R]

Different in what way? Is it because it's a Euro tranny?

[NAiL05]

Gearing is completely different.
