Ok, so i have a 95 accord Lx. If i were to get a JDM F20B with and auto tranny and the ECU, would it bolt up to my stock 5 speed and would it work basicly. I know I may need to change the harness or at the least add the Vtec wire. Any thoughts?
thanks

 

whoa from 5speed -> auto? unless you are getting the f20 for mad cheap u might as well get a h22. the f20 is a destroked h22 w/ less torque.

 

i couldnt ever imagine going DOWN in engine size... from a 2.2 to a 2.0...

 

its not so much the going down in engine size, its going up in horsepower and torque. I do agree though that the H22 is the best bet, i just may be able to get the F20 for cheep. Plus I kinda liek the blue valve cover.

 

If you like the moonblue valve cover on the F20B , you can also get the same valve cover moonblue on a H22A FYI

 

yea, i guess the H22 is teh best option to go, since i have an LX, how will that work with the Vtec?

 

Pretty damn easy, 3 wires, vtec pressure switch vtec solenoid and knock sensor, run them back to the ecu and your done. F20B is actually a great motor in an accord if found cheap as hell but the most complained thing i hear is the lack of interchangable parts. (IE: nothing at checker kragen or auto zone or anything)

 

might as well get an h22. btw, you should be able to use your stock 5sp tranny

 

What is needed to do a h series swap in a 96 Accord such as mounts linkage axles.

 

unless i'm mistaken u can use ur tranny with either engine the kick really is if u have a problem with the f20 u gotta get parts from ova seas where as having issues with a h22 u can drive to the nearest dealer or parts store
