Just because the car is wired up for OBD1 and the motor came from an OBD2B car, doesn't mean the car wiring needs to be changed to run OBD2B. All he needs to do is get an OBD1 dizzy, appropriate OBD1 chipped ECU, and extend any plugs to their respective sensors if the wires aren't long enough. Technically there is no such thing as an "OBD1 engine" or "OBD2 engine"...just the type of computer running it. In fact, I consider getting an OBD2A or higher engine to work in an OBD1 car MUCH easier than getting an OBD1 engine to run in an OBD2A or higher car. With the second way you actually have to change a decent bit of wiring. If he runs into any other issues, all you need are diagrams (chiltons/haynes books, or FREE from shopkey5, thanks to Weezo) and a multimeter.

i would like well that my english teacher would be with me lolll ... doctorcipher...you say that it's not very complicate to change obd1 to obd2 ? if i good understand... i should to have obd1 computer chipped... to run my obd2 engine(f23A) ? which computer ?

if you want to trade a crappy motor for a crappy motor with 10 more hp and VTEC why not just use F22b1 je suis americain et toi?

Mounts and exhaust are no brainers...wiring is no big deal... shit, I had to cut open my entire engine harness to diagnose a problem and I don't consider that to be much of a pain... and I don't even know why you mentioned radiator hoses lol... if the molded ones don't fit, then the custom-bend ones will.

[el_lucker]

ok... so say me which engine i should put in my hood... i want more hp with low $ .. and i dont want a rare engine..and h23 i can afford it ... its twin cam and its more money

je suis canadien.... québecois

[el_lucker]

may be but i dont find it.. i try to find a f22a6..(143hp 140 lb/tq i believe) so its too rare... nut the f23a i can have it all the time

[KillerCam282]

I would buy a F23a1, just to do the G23 converision to it. Otherwise, I dont think its worth it.

[el_lucker]

modify what you have..........it's that simple......get you an f22a6 intake, a header, full exhaust, an safc, and a cam.......you could get better gas mileage, make more power than the f23a1 would make, it would be simple with NO down time, and you'd probably come out cheaper if you shop around

may be but my engine have 330 000 km and i dont think to modify it

haha i havent taken french for like 4 years. j'ai bien

[el_lucker]

rare? what motors came in the kind of accord you're driving right now, i'm sure there were 2 or 3 options, like i said though, canadian options are different than us options....

here, the cb7 had the f22a1 in the dx/lx, f22a4 in the 90-91 ex, f22a6 in the 91+ se and 92-93 ex,

i have a honda accord 90 with a f22a1 127 hp and 130 lb tq
