swap question

[APEX i GSR]

i currently have a 93 10th A.E and this summer i put in a JDM 2.0si single cam motor. The motor works flawless except for the surging i have every now and then. I have had a ton ofelectrical issues with the car and i keep finding burnt interior harness wires. So i have decided to dump it. I have access to a 97 CD5 (Accord LX auto) and i want to put the 2.0si motor in it. I was told by the guy that i bought it from that it won't work. Is this true? Has anyone done this swap? I was thinking all i really had to swap was the intake & exhaust manifolds & possibly swap oil pumps so that i can hook up the crank position sensor.

Anyone??

Its not really worth it to tell you the truth to swap over the 2.0 Si motor. The CD5 already has a decent f22b2 in there.

anything that fits in a 4th gen honda accord should go into a 5th gen accord with minimal modification.

well i know the motor in the 97 is good its just that it is worn out and leaking from everywhere.

I just wanted to know if it could go into 97 and be a good reliable daily driver.
So far all i have heard is that it is totally different and won't bolt up properly

Why not step it up to a dual cam? You'd be able to join the DOHC Crew. Current number of members: 1 (me). Hopefully more peepz with DOHC motors will join.

the only reason i haven't stepped up to the DOHC side is because i just want an economical daily driver. If i wasn't building my GSR i would build this into a stunner but right now i just want something to get back & forth to work. I just bought this 2.0 and i like it for its fuel economy

Yes you can!!! Excellent! Now we are 2 members strong. Who's next?

Well...I get about the same MPG on my H22A. My MPG goes down when I start pushing it into VTEC. Just leave the H22A stock. It's very reliable. And you get a little kick out of it.

is there anyone who has done it

[dbsharp]

what motor is it that you wanna use? It should say the motor code on the front of the block.

Sorry man...I'm just trying to help.

97 Accord is OBD2 and the F20 is OBD1. To me it would be the same as swapping in an OBD1 H23 into an OBD2 Accord. Do a search for OBD1 engine swaps to an OBD2 car. I think you use the OBD2 engine harness on the engine and you will have to get an ecu OBD2 to OBD1 harness. You probably will not find alot of people doing an f20 swap into a 97+ Accord because its not worth the hassle. Your best bet is to research an OBD1 H23 swap into a 97+ Accord.
