H22 Swap in Progress

[ktcb7]

Hey man good lookin out. i just sold everything i had that wasn't needed for my car besides my laptop to fund my swap....

so i know how ya feel. mine is due in a couple of weeks. i am right there when ordering the motor.

your total isn't bad either right now. I am @ 1500+ for mine and i'm using my F tranny. well good luck and keep this updated. i want to see what it's like for you.


Cause i keep hearing that it's pure sex

Thanks man, sounds good for you too. I'll be making a jy run this weekend to get my ECU pins and hopefully find a h23 dizzy.

Here's a little update:

Went to the j/y over the weekend and got the ECU pins needed for wiring purposes. I should begin to make the sub-harness here within the next two weeks. I want to begin disconnecting everything off the F22 this week so when all I have to do is loosen motor mounts when the H22 arives. My projected date to pick up the H22 is Oct.18th and I want to do the swap Nov.1st. As these days go by I get more and more anxious to drive me car again.

For the past two days I've been going through the F22 removal guide and have gotten most of what I can get done myself. All thats left are a couple things that need to be done with a friend. As I said before I'll be picking up the motor 10/18/08 wish it was this weekend but just not ready yet. As far as the wiring part goes, I think when I pull the F22 and its engine harness I'm going to use some of that scrap wire to make my sub-harness. Stay tuned for more updates towards next weekend!

im about to buy an H22 myself for my project car...keep us updated on your swap, i could use some tips

[ktcb7]

Finally got all my funds I need to buy the motor and parts. Just found out that me friend that was going to help me with my swap got a little side job for the weekends and he doesn't know if he can help me. Now I have to find a second helping hand, cherry picker, and a truck to load the motor on this weekend. Hopefully everything works out this weekend so I can get cracking! Thanks for everyone's support it is well needed to keep me going and get things done!!

Got the motor today and going to start stripping it down to be swap in. I'll be taking p/s and a/c out, so I'll keep everyone updated.

[ktcb7]

So today I work on getting the F out and when I tried to get the 17mm fuel line I manage to crack the fuel line. So I'm going to either jb weld it or have a friend weld it back together. I don't want to have to find and replace the whole line. The F should come out within a couple days, I just have to find a place to store it.

shouldnt be that hard to find a line fromt he JY and snag it.... i wouldnt jbweld the main gas line at all.... you going to do the swap then take your time and do it right. dont cut corners and rig stuff unless you absolutly have to... and if you do do it where no one is going to notice

My friend has a donor cb he crashed I just don't know how much work it will be to swap the lines out..

[accord2nr81]

witch line are you talking about? the 17mm line that gose from the rail to the fuel filter? or a hardline that gose to the gas tank?

Sorry, I meant a hardline. I didn't know the name.
