h23 drop in?

[91kid]

Ok so my f22 is ruined... local junkyard has one for 325 and it has a warentee and such... but i was thinking if i can get an h23 for around the same price.. why not get a little more power.

Will the h23 drop in easily?
what can i expect for extra expenses with the swap?

thanks guys

bolt in swap.

sweet deal... so no mods required?

[drummersteve7]

no mods. p14 ecu needed or p06 chipped.

knock sensor wiring, unless your chipped and can remove the option.
It is a 100 dollar sensor if it is not on the block. totally up to you.

besides that hmmm. tranny bolts up. and everything else works.
Depends if it is OBDI or OBDII that you might need to adjust Dizzy internal/external or convert harness.

hmm thats pretty much it I can think of!

sweet im stoked.. good power?

i just dont want to go throug the whole h22 swap and the f22 is dead so time to upgrade!

now whats this obd I and obdII stuff?

now whats this obd I and obdII stuff?

-knock sensor needs to wire up to ECU Pin D3.
-if you have LX or DX the IAB connects to ECU Pin A17 (Connect Black/Yellow wire on solenoid to switched ignition, the other to pin A17)
-as far as OBDI and OBDII then that involves the H23 VTEC. so if your running 92-95(I think) it is OBDI. everything should work fine. just things to check.

good luck man, you will get good info on this site!

the h22 isnt that more difficult than a h23

[drummersteve7]

the h22 isnt that more difficult than a h23

h22 is harder...if you can get your hands on it, DO IT!
but h23 is pretty much a direct swap!

[91kid]

its my daily driver so im looking for quick and easy while still getting more then stock performance..

ok.. so what is this iab?

[deevergote]

The only difference with the H22 swap is wiring for VTEC. 3 more wires than the H23.

ALL H and F swaps are easy on these cars. If any one of them is too difficult, then they're all going to be too difficult.

IAB = Intake Air Bypass. It's a secondary set of runners that opens up at higher RPM. If you have an F22A6 (EX or SE) you already have it.

my biggest turn on to the h23 is the price and availablity of the motor.

ok so what will i need with my h23 to put it in..

i heard ecu/exhaust/intake?? these right and any other stuff?

[drummersteve7]

I hate to say it but you need to read mang.
but here is a link:
Swap FAQ

Hopefully that answers a lot of your questions!
if not follow this guide. It is real close to the H23!
JDM F22B Swap Guide

[91kid]

ok thanks for those links.. ive seen all that i just didnt see an h23 mentioned in any of them.. ill read the f22b now.. but will my header/intake work? i assume not

[drummersteve7]

header and intake match the h23. as long as it is NOT the H23 VTEC!

If you wanna run an h23 with f22a1/4/6 header go for it!
If you wanna run the h23 with F22a1/4/6 intake manifold, make sure it is respective to your wiring. aka the a6 has IAB hookup which was ECU Pin A17 I mentioned before!

i have done a f22b non vtec ,f22b vtec, h23 and my last one h22A and i love and all the swap been easy it take about whole day and one bottle of rum. i had a couple cb in my life time lol
