Huh??

On no Accord can you use the same ECU that runs your stock engine on a H22. H22 is a DOHC Vtec engine and stock Accord engines are SOHC non-Vtec and some Vtec (F22B1). Those ecu's are not equiped with a knock board or the correct fuel and ignition maps for the H22.

If you get a 1992-1995 Prelude engine it will be easier to swap in because you will only need to add wires for the Vtec solonoid, Vtec oil pressure sensor, and knock sensor.

If you get a 1996-newer H22 (OBD-2) engine you can still run it with an OBD-1 ECU however you will have to make some modifications on the distributor. Newer H22's have the ignition trigger on the flywheel rather then in the distributor like the 92-95.

I hope I didn't leave anything out but that's all that comes to mind.

Sleeper00,
If the Shift linkage on your old engine/tranny are good just reuse them. Make sure the engine you get has all it's sensors intact.

Good Luck, By the way where in FL are you?
