Take the whole engine, ecu and wiring harness from the scrap Accord. Swap em out and sell the first engine and ecu combo to a 4th genner that would like a bump in power.

your best bet is too swap the whole motor. i think the head swap idea is just stupid when you can failry easily buy a nice f22b1 swap. anyways unless your current motor has high mileage the power difference isn't really that much if you currently have I/H/E mods on your f22b2. the F22b1 vtec is for economy is really only worth 5hp and 2lb/ft trq.

but for a free engine swap if it only gives my 5hp thats alot better money = power. and i was told that the vtec engine can go farther as far as mods, considering vtec controller, so on so on.

yeah so long as the motor is in good shape. another good thing is you'll convert to OBDI which is better too.

Everyone says OBD1 is better than OBD2 what are they and whats the difference? Don't make fun, just let it run.

OBDII is just a different stricter engine montoring system. it doesn't take to mods as well. OBDI will allow you to run a hi flow cat w/out making sure you either connect the second 02 sensor or run a resistor to fool it. OBDI will also allow you to manual advance your ignition timing off the distributor too. also your chances of throwing a CE light for something stupid are a lot less with OBDI than OBDII.

so how do you know what obd you have is there a way of telling or does it just come with experience? remember right now i have a f22b2 hopefully soon a f22b1. :cheers: :beer: :barf:

well cause all 96+ hondas are all OBDII.

Be sure to take the proportioning valve and install it on your car. Taking the EX MC and booster would be a good idea too (just good to have laying around ). Also, I think you'll need the E-brake cables (at least for the 6th gen u will).

just take as much from the braking system as possible

this site should help u find all the parts u need:

can't he grab the rear ex sway bar? or did the se already come with that....and hey if its a manual tranny might as well do a manual tranny swap i'm suprised no one thought of that yet....if you want to make your car quicker for what your getting for free, a manual tranny is the way to do it, your car will feel a lot better with the standard than an auto
