cokinut, the guy who put this DIY together, doesn't really frequent cb7tuner much anymore. he even said earlier in this thread that the images were lost.

however, the instructions are very well detailed and should provide enough information in swapping manifolds. if you disassemble the h23 mani from a prelude, and then remove your f22a1 manifold, chances are you'll feel comfortable enough with the swap. if you search around, you can even find threads with images that pertain to removing/installing manifolds.

This is a very awesome thread for DIYers. Enjoy.

man i thought i wasn't gonna be able to do this mod with out pics . i did it as written in the first page insructions with no problems. evreything is working fine and man does that shit hit and 4000 rpm's and sounds loud as hell . this was one of the easiest mods i've done so far.
THANKS COKINUT GREAT WRITE UP

I've received a ton of PM's about the swap + pictures. after back tracking and doing a lot of research (pulling out backup DVD of my pix and accord stuff since i have a prelude now) - Those pictures were hosted on AccordTuner's server and have been erased. I'm still looking for my folder of Original pictures of the swap and i'm going to try to upload and relink when i get time. I've been super busy with my upcoming wedding, photography biz, and 9-5 job.

Other than the pix, the write up looks Daunting, BUT if you are really serious about it, i've wrote it pretty much step by step tackling pretty much each concern. I know pictures help, i'm a visual guy, but in the mean time please read each step

Thanks guys! i'll try to stop by here more often!

by far my favorite write-up. still havent done it tho

Oh God THANKS!!!!!!!!!

for the guys that buy manifolds that don't come with all the valves and sensors. the f22aX Starting Air Valve will bolt up to the h23 manifold.

I only went thru countless threads, and then 6 pages thru this thread to find the answer to that question. LOL!
I just know that when I buy my IM, not everything is gonna be included.
Good to know that I can swap out my sensors and valves from the f/22 ...

And Les .. dude .. I'ma photographer too .. and you know how us togs make everything a visual ..
Them pics missing on the first page would be a plus for guys like me ....

Hahha .. onward with more reading on this subject ..

bump, im mechanically enclined, but for some reason im worried about doin this swap, like it wont go rite, something will go wrong,
ill be swappin the h23 im and tb on the f22a6 runners.


i even painted the plenum and everything even the bolts, the re routing of the coolant lines and vac lines scare me lol.

i guess i gotta take my time and use my brain, its pretty str8 forward according to you guys.

I can take some photos of how my lines are routed for you.

I'm interested in seeing the pics too if you wouldn't mind getting them foamy. I'm missing a part to start on swapping my manifold over but it wouldn't hurt to learn how to do it ahead of time lol.

- FITV (fast idle thermo valve): It’s on the front of the upper half of the manifold on the F22, it’s right under the TB (throttle body) on the H23. You either need to reroute the coolant lines or you can completely bypass the coolant (connect the 2 lines together).


get some shots of this also
