I currently have a 2k accord with the 2.3 ulev 4cyl with auto tranny. I hear everybody talking about converting to an H22 motor. what else would this involve? I can get an H22 and auto tranny from a prelude. But,is it going to be a plug in and play or will i need to hardwire stuff,change fuel pump and ecu,etc.?

 

I looked into a shop doing the swap for me cause I don't really have any tools since I moved. I was quoted $6000 for the motor, tranny, other misc parts and labor. The shop I talked to said its a pain in the butt to do, that and the motor has problems. It would be more worth it to wait for Hasport to come out with the motor swap mouts for the K series in the 6th gen accord. I think I might do that, and wait a couple years for the price of a K series engine to come down in price.

 

Why would you keep it as an auto? If you didn't swap a standard in this swap is relatively pointless, in my eyes anyways.

 

x2. the auto tranny has way more problems than the motor. the motor is fine, but the tranny is your issue.

 

I'm from Maryland and I just picked up a H22, I'm going to be doing the full motor/5spd hopefully next month.

 

When I had my 99 Accord I contemplated doing an H22 swap but then said fuck it. When I'm done doing the K-swap in the Civic I wanna pickup a 1st gen CL and do a K24 into that.
