[roostaccord91]

ok i want to order my h22 or h23 (still deciding) in a couple weeks maybe month if i cant keep this job. lol.

but my question is...

i have a 91 ex 4dr. would either motor mount up to my f22a motormounts or do i have get new ones?? if so which ones do i need??

im gettin the motor wit everything but the mounts. so it kinda sux.

all input is needed even helping deciding which motor. PLEASE AND THANKS!!

i would say to save the extra cash and go for the h22 you will love it, all your stock mounts will mount right up, the only thing would be to replace your mounts if they are broken or you can fill them with urathane.

SWWEEEEEETTTT!!!!!

so they mount right up. nise nise. so how long did it take you to do your swap. me and my brother (u.s.a.f. mechanic) are gonna do my swap.

how long should the basic swap take really??

Basic H22 swap shouldn't take no more than a day if you know what your doing. If you run into problems w/ like brackets and shit like that or exhaust problems then you'll have to come back on the boards. H22 is EASY swap. You'll be fine. Probably the only thing you'll have to work at is getting the VTAK wiring right. Have fun w/ the H22!

it took me 2 weeks, but i had to wait for parts from honda for timing belt and the manual tensioner, but if i had everything, i would have taken me like 2 or three days,

not that hard, wiring was a little tricky, but that was my mistake since i didn't read the faq in the swap sections real good, that sections really helps you a lot.

good luck with everything and if you need help just ask

h22

i plan on doing the swap f22 for the h22 and then headers and exhaust. the wiring is what scares me a little.

If you're using a prelude transmission, you'll need to move 2 of the studs (for the passenger side mount) to the untapped holes. Drill out the holes with an 11/32" drill bit and use a tap to make threads that match the stud. All the H and F series transmissions have the five holes in the casting that let them mount in a prelude or accord chassis.

what I learned when I did my swap is to use your stock f22 axels and half shaft, took me a week to find that out. the h22 axels are too long.

I can also give you pic directions on where to wire your vtec pressure switch, vtec solenoid, knock sensor, intake air bypass solenoid. the four wires that u need to add on the wiring harness, if your using your stock accord harness.
