I have an EG hatch with the dinky 1.5 automatic. My buddy runs an import salvage yard, and they're going to crush a 1997 Honda Accord LX with the F22B1 and auto tranny. He's giving me the drivetrain, wiring harness, and ECU for free, and I plan on installing it in the EG.

From what I've read, the F22, and H22 use the same mounts, so if I buy the mount kit and the hybrid axles, I'll be well on my way to completing this install. Am I correct?

BTW, I"m no rookie at this, we just finished up an H22 swap in an EK hatch with the mount and axle kit, and everything went perfectly. I also am working on a 2003 Acura RL engine in my 91 5 speed Legend coupe.

This swap is ONLY to make my EG hatch a little funner to drive. It will not be a track car, so please don't make comments about how this is a waste of time. The way I see it, I'm gaining 28 horsepower and 41 ft lb torque.

Any opinions are appreciated though.

 

i wouldnt wanna do that swap. Why not a Ls, or if your hard for cash, a sohc vtec?? f22's in a 92-95 civic is uncommon. do they even make a motor mount kit for that swap???

 

F series motors have the same mounts/axles as the H seriers. The original poster is on the right track.

 

Dude go for it, it's free and that engine goes ok in the hevier accord. Good luck and post some pics

 

Hey in the ek hatch with the h22 swap, what ecu did you use?

 

Stock V-TEC prelude ECU. I think it was a P28.

 

A stock preleude ecu will plug right in an Ek chassis? A p28 is a obd1 ecu from a vtec civic isnt it?
