i was looking into doing a swap is this a good price? and is it as easy as doing an h22 swap? if not any suggestions on what swap for a 90 accord ex?

[KillerCam282]

Take that and make a G23. I say its worth it.

[k-mart]

yea man, espescially if you plan to go the turbo route. the sleeves are very strong and boost friendly. plus it fairly low mileage.

but you better hurry up there are only 5 seconds left!

[KillerCam282]

Damn, the possibilties if you won that daddyjohnlopez. G23, G23 turbo, F23 turbo, you name it. Ah well it will probably be relisted. BUY IT!!!!!

[daddyjohnlopez]

theres like 4 on ebay i will buy one if the swap isnt to bad i just dont know whats involved. if theres a lot of cuting and welding id rather not and just go with an h22

nah man, its just as straight foreward as an H22 swap. the only major issue would be converting to OBD1.

there are other motors that i would personally prefer to swap over the F23, but you cant really beat that price. so it comes down to what you want and what you can afford.

wow that engine is very close to where i live lol.

[93ACCLUDE]

I would get it if i were you. notice how they capped everything off too. seems like it would be a nice engine.

will i need any brackets or sensors and will my 5 speed bolt up to it? and it doesnt have a dizzy will mine work on this motor and will my wireing harness work with it and last but not least what ecu do i need with it and it is relisted.

[daddyjohnlopez]

well i just off the phone with the people that have the motor and they have the dist. and ecu for an extra 180.00 so all said and done shiped it will run me 580.00 is this a good price and they didnt have the harness for it so if mine will work i think im going to buy it.

[HenRoc]

Whoa wait...all this bidding and not one person here said one thing.


You car is an OBD I vs that motor which is an OBD II.

Its a straight forward swap yes. And it would drop in would no problem.

But since the Cb7 is an OBD I car you would have to wire that motor to run of the cars electronic system. Id say wire the car up for an OBD II motor but I've yet to run into anyone whos running OBD II on any vehicle that was built before 96 (OBD II came out on some vehicles like my truck in 1995).

Oh and in case if your wondering what OBD stands for

i dont know man, they arent including the harness? i would much rather shell out a couple hundred more for an H23A1/F22B dual cam.

i havent bought the motor yet befor i did that i wanted to know what i needed to do it like what ecu and if my wire harness would work if i dont need the ecu that came with this motor i dont want to wast money on it and get the wrong ecu. what would be the right ecu for this motor to work in my car? i know my car is obd I. i mainly wanted to know what i need to make this swap work in my car and any extra step ill need to take to make it work in my car.
