92 engine in diff year?

[bruno8747]

I got this 92 f22 engine from an EX and I want to know if it fits in the 94 to 97 year accord and if it does are do you have to do any modifications in the engine bay.

im pretty sure it fits with very little modification, but wait until one of the smart tech guys on here answers you. they will know for sure

it should fit no problem but if the engine is a 5 spd you may need to do something with the tranny mount like drill it or get a new one.

Look for H22 swaps and do everything but the vtec. also check out accord tuenr and the 5th gen section.

NTM, 96+ is OBD 2, so that might be a problem.

hmmm..........so it could work fine if I just dropped it in a 94 to 95 accord. The engine only has 46k miles on it and its in a cb7 presently but its gonna cost too much money to fix it.

Keep in mind that in some states its illegal to put an older engine into a newer car.

But dont the 94 and 95 have non vtec 4cyl thats the f22 engine.

[ACCORDianate]

Yes. Its the F22 that was in the EX went into the newer LX. A very astute observation. Gold star for you.

Lets clear this up a bit;

90-93 DX/LX - F22A1
90/91 EX - F22A4
92/93 EX and 91/93 SE - F22A6
94-97 DX/LX/SE - F22B2
94-97 EX - F22B1 (VTEC)
95-97 V6 - C27A4

So, although putting a 90-93 engine in a 94/95 can be done, it is not a direct swap, there will be differnces in emissions controls, electrical, etc. Best thing to do is to find a 94/95 enigine to put in your 94/95 Accord.
