about to put the f22 to rest

[J-specCb4]

i got a 91 with a f22a4 and an auto trans and im pullin it out and goin h22 manual im uber scared that it will take me forever i guess im lookin for some encouraging words from my fellow cb7 swappers i need to know what all i will need to do the manual swap i know a donor car will be my best bet which is why i will be lookin for a donor car in the next few weeks just was lookin for somethin (wikked) to make me feel like this is actually doable

[93accordexcoupe]

lol... well i can encourage u that.. anything is possible.. first.. i recommend u work on the donor car.. see how that goes.. once u did what u had to weither it be removing tranny or entire engine/tranny combo.. ull get a feel for whats to come on ur car.. and be better prepared.. as for something (wikked).. u know me.. i cant actually sit here and encourage u to do a full swap.. its just not in my nature.. but none-the-less best of luck...

[J-specCb4]

thank you thank you and i still plan on doin the headswap because im gonna keep the donor car as an auto f22a wth an h23 head i know this sounds like a lot on my plate but i love workin on my cb7 and ive almost pretty much had my whole car apart aty one point or another ive done a full teardown including piston ringand main and rod bearings so hopefully ill be ok

After speaking with you and your father at the last meet, I feel that you two will be able to accomplish and overcome all obstacles in your way as far as the swap goes. You are lucky you have someone who is into the whole project as much as you are right by your side. After you 2 eye everything over and do your homework and figure out what order you plan on doing everything, i am sure everything will turn out perfect just like you want it.

Just remember: Plan your work and work your plan.

Good luck

thanks adam and man i just wanna be able to outrun the police too lol j/k i really appreciate it guys

[h22sparkle]

its not that hard trust me but dont always get into that habit or else youll get caught.

[JDMCB3Si]

hell yes. IT's like night and day. I can EASILY pass people on the highway (here in TX that's 70MPH) in 5th gear and on the highway 4th gear (comes to about 4.9-5.2k on the tac) JUST OWNS!!! I love VTEC and 5spd, never going back That's why i'm looking for a replcaement CB7.

Dude you can do it, it took me 2 weeks working really hard. Hardest part was auto->manual pedels and shit...ah, and welding (takes a while to do correctly). Just make sure you have someone that knows stuff about cars to help you a little and you'll be fine.

Good luck

if i could swap my engine without being able to change my oil you can do it lol.

[di2accord]

you can do it hey if im still here when this happens i'll help out so i can see how it will be when i do it to my car

Yeah, its easy.. no problem. My swap was my first, and I did it all by myself.

And its nice w/the extra power. All the time to/from the nashville meet, i left it in 5th.. if i had to pass someone, it would take a second.. but it would pull pretty well. F22 would have been not as happy.

You can do it dude, i did my swap with no air tools, no engine lift, nothign conventional. If i would have stayed focused (and had all the parts to begin with,) i could have finished it much sooner. I finally got all the CEL's off yesterday, and experenced (mad)VTEC for the frist time, and let me tell you, it was worth all the struggle. The motor is twice what the F22 brick was, and its impressive even w/o VTEC in safe mode. Just stay focused, and remember, if you need any help, were here for ya dude!
