f22b1 swap into 90 accord ex 5 speed

[JDM_accordf22a4]

I have a f22b1 laying in my garage I have the ecu and the wiring harness with it, so I have a couple of questions.
1. will the axels work from my 90 accord?
2. can i use the header off of my 90 accord on the b1?
3. is the mounts different, which one should i use?
4. if i use the b1 ecu am i gonna have to wire in vtec?
5. will the wiring harness from the b1 plug into my 90 accord?

1. yes
2. no (i dont think so) somone else can back me
3. yes, i beleive there is some modification needed on the driver side mount(think you need a 5th gen bracket
4. yes
5. as long as they are both obd1 YES



need anything? let me know i have a extra b1 laying arround

Good lookin out. I am contemplating this swap into my girlfriend's new 90 sedan 5 speed. Either the b1 or h22.. hmm

i have a f22b1 in my 4th gen cb, truthfully the swap is not all that worth it. if you have a blwn motor in your cb now then go ahead and swap it. as for your questions: axels yes, header no, mounts use the 4th gen mount and brakets, ecu vtec yes you will have to wire and 2 wires swapped don't remember but i know they were for 2 seperate sensors, you can use either harness as long as the b1 harness is obd1. I used my f22a harness and just ran the wires to vtec

another question if i dont wire in vtec can i still drive the car till i get the vtec wired

[g.baltazar]

yeah you can run the car without vtec, it will just throw a code if you are using the b1 ecu. don't go over 5k rpm and it wont throw the code, or just use your stock ecu and not worry about vtec at all. vtec is really easy to wire, i suggest just taking an hour out of your day and a trip to radioshack and get it all done.

ok that should be easy cause i have to have the car up and running in three days or would i fun into problems with the swap to take longer

3 days ??? damn i would try do it in like 3-4 hours thats just me lol but 3 days should be good since you probably don't have experience doing this shit. also in case you run into any problems make sure you buy all your gaskets belts ahead of time. but it also really depends on tools...3 hours assuming you have a engine hoist, tool set, good jack, etc, etc. air ratchet speeds up the job.


i forgot to ask do you plan to use the f22b1 power steering / alternator or the 4th gen one?

[camdizawg]

okay then put the 4th gen bottom crank pulley on the b1 block

You dont need new axles as long as you use the stock trans.
