H22 in the Accord

just out of curiousity, have any of you guys done an h22 swap on a 94-97 accord? if so how much was it? I'm not really saying im going to do it but it is an option. Also it is an auto so would it be hard/costly to do a 5 spd swap opposed to running say the tiptronic preluse tranny?

never seen one

Everything I've read online tells me its a more common swap for the accord another motor would be the f20b or a k series but i dont know much about them.

I think im about to work on one this week ill let you know if it comes up. If so maybe I can take pics of it or something for you to see. The reason I say "I think" is im not sure of the year of the accord im supposed to work opn but it does have a boosted H22 in it.

Do it, my friend in new orleans did one and it was friggin awesome. he had a white 2 door 96 accord, think he boosted it down the line, but that car was pretty quick N/A too

Disco that would be awesome if you took a few pics regardless of the year, id still like to look If I did it I dunno if id boost it maybe a little spray. Dont the H22's run a pretty high compression ratio?

I dont know squat about the h22's other than there overrated and the B20 is more bang for the buck similar displacement

That's not necessarily true. For boosting purposes, the H22 isn't overrated at all.

ok im dumb

The H22A debuted in 1993 for use in the Honda Prelude VTEC as the H22A1. ... Compression ratio: 10.6:1; Max output : 200 PS (197 hp/147 kW) @ 6800 rpm

Use to go here and they did thousand of swaps the the H22, and they have a 9 sec H22 hatch as their rac car. websites shitty but it has contact info if ur really curious

I'm not saying the B20 is a bad motor or anything, just that not enough people give the H22 any credit.

10.6-1 is considered low in my book.

And casey I wasnt refferring to a boosted h22 I guess I shouldda mentioned that. But in diji's earlier posts he was eluding to an all motor application. SO the B20 would hand an h22 its ass due to pwr to weight ratio. Sorry And it has been proven that the b20 is not a great base for high boosting or sleeving.

I'm really getting an itch to give the accord some go fast since ill have the jeep as my daily driver.

Ohhh I didnt think you were bagging on the b20 at all its cool.

Fo' Sho'. H22 = the suckass for all motor. (Unless you're Blake *98vtec*)

you guys dunno what your missing

h22 is a direct swap in an accord.

gonna have to go with a big negative on that one captain.

Ok whatever like I said in an earlier post "im dumb" what do I know

I second that

The only bad thing i've seen in the H22 was the crappy transmition

its ok. "i'm dumb" too

Alright...here's what I know about it:

H22 fits perfect in a 94-97 accord. I had plans to do this swap and did a lot of research. It would be a very fun/fast car. It's not "over rated" at all. I respect Disco's input on engines, but this engine is not as expensive as people think and has a lot of potential. They are the perfect choice for putting in the accord. Now, for a Civic, the B Series engines are a better fit/choice. But for this generation of Accord, the H22 and F20B are the only choices for the cost (K would be awsome, but is just too expensive).

My plans were to do a H22 swap and put an Accord Tranny on it. That's the best combo for these engines, as someone said the tranny's on the H22's aren't that great. The good thing about putting an H22 in the accord is it pretty much drops in, you don't have to get new mounts, axels or any of that...just the wiring harness is different (if i'm remembering right). Very simple swap and would run you cheaper than my GSR Swap in the Civic did. You'd be looking around 4500-5000 at a shop to do this with parts and labor...or that's what I got quoted anyway...

N/A or Boost...H22 in a 94-97 Accord is the way to go for a fun/quick car. Only down fall in this case will be weight. The Accord AND the H22 are both heavy. But still worth it IMO. I love that Generation of Accords.

Sounds awesome man, like i said i was just curious about it at this point but whe summer rolls around this might be my next step...

There are three here in Pensacola.

let me know if you need any help

that accord tranny is going to slow you down hombre. Go with h22 tranny. M2B4 if you can find one. It comes with LSD.

about the wiring, it depends on what year accord you have. if you have a 94-95 then all you will need to do is wire vtec and rywire makes a harness for that. gets a little more difficult for an OBDII car with an OBDI motor. The crank sensor, engine harness and distributor are setup differently and require attention.

just boost the f22, youll be happeir then spending 4.5-5k to swap in a NA h22.
