What motor should I do a swap with?

[Lionaccord94]

so I was looking at several motors to do a swap and came across three that I considered using...

(1) F20C (not sure if it's possible to swap this into a 94 accord ex?)

(2) H22 (everyone's favorite motor to swap with)

(3) B20

I also kinda want to keep the F22B1 since it does good with MPG. What would y'all recommend?

[bedlam]

f20c- you better be rich ok. plus IVE never seen one actually done in a 5th gen....

h22- do it. easy, and more than enough help and info and motors and parts to go around for that swap

B20-??? seriously??? next?




do you plan on boosting? cause if you do, saving money on another f22 or even the 6th gen f23 upgrade would be more ideal for that.

[bedlam]

i say F23A1 w H tranny if you want boost and H22 if not.

[Lionaccord94]

@bedlam: I was thinking the same with the H22. There are a lot of parts to go around just don't know what I need? Right now I have a stock F22B1 with an auto tranny (boooooo yeah I know :-/ ) I know I'm gna have to do a lot of converting to stick a manual tranny and a diff motor in there. Are there any websites or threads or anything with info on how to do the swap that I could look up? I'm not looking to boost, im more like something that's all motor. Idk why but for some reason I like the whole ITB concept. Is that possible with an H22 or H23?

Oh and your accord looks FAWKING ILL!! makes me want to go in and trade my 07 Maxima lol.

[bedlam]

man i hope you have lots of cash lined up lookin at ITBs and shit. also, better hope you are pretty damn good w a wrench to do manual swaps.


8GsFTW!!

I wish the search button worked.. but I guess Google still does. And there always the options. Of going through threads one by one. There is tons and tons of information on different swaps. Look around a little. B series is for civics. H22 H23 F20b F23 K24...

that was my response earlier but then i deleted it b/c i was basically discouraging asking questions...or at least it came off that way.

i reckon what i really wanted to discourage was asking questions that have already been asked and answered and simply need to be found.


Study study study! Tis your only viable solution against failure. At the end of the day when the engine blows you can either blame 1 guy who lives around the world n gave bad advice or chalk it up to a learning experience b/c you took the opinions of a myriad of kats from all over the internet, learned from their mistakes, and sought to succeed where they failed. Good luck man, tis a great adventure!

[Lionaccord94]

Damn 8gs!! F*ck that. I'll just stick to the slow ass F22B1. I just need something that gets more mpg than my maxima.

[Lionaccord94]

Oh and thanks for the advice. Smeee... Wth are you talking about? Not making any sense. Thanks for the help tho.

[Smeee]

read dude...read as much as you can. learn from as many people as you can. When you have searched and searched for a particular answer to a particular question and cannot find it, then you ask, but till then, just keep reading and searching. You can pretty much teach yourself anything you need to know about cars from forums, youtube, etc...the internet in general.

It's far wiser to take the advice of thousands of people all over the internet (which comes from searching/reading), then a handful of guys who respond to your question on one forum.

that shed any clarity on it?

[accordracing91]

lol @ B20

[Lionaccord94]

@ Smeee: now we're speaking the same language. I know I should read but I figured I'd ask since I'm already in a forum atmosphere. Sorry if I came of a little rude?

The B20 was funny tho. I don't know squat about Hondas. My 94 accord is my first ever Honda... Makes me wish I got a Honda a long time ago.

[Smeee]

ah nah dude, that was why i deleted my original comment b/c i didn't want to come off as rude. yer new man, thats why i just suggested searching and reading all ya can, soak it up dude, you literally cannot read enough.

Damn 8gs!! F*ck that. I'll just stick to the slow ass F22B1. I just need something that gets more mpg than my maxima.

Then keep the f22 you've got and do a manual swap. And the money you would spend will still probably never be worth it if you're just trying to save on fuel.

[Lionaccord94]

Nah I'lll just keep it auto... especially with the way people drive up here in WASHINGTON... Horrible! I love my Honda, just thought I'd get some advice from fellow Honda enthusiast. If anything I want to keep it simple and clean. I know the F22B1 is a slug but if it can get me from A to B then that's enough for me lol.
