A Different Kind of Swap?

[JeffBel]

Ok, I'm browsing the local craiglist (ksl is really the name) and I find this motor; F23a1. I think to myself, I've dealt with it before in my friends accord. I remembered how much it was like the h22. Did a quick google search for putting it into an EG. There's not a lot of information, but the engine is common in junkyards around here. Now I'm interested, I want it in my hatch. I know I can use h22 mounts and maybe if I want h2b tranny setup. What other parts do I need?

Shift linkage?
Tranny?
Head swap to H22?
Axles?
Ecu? and OBD?
Misc?

Should be a fun summer

Sounds like a killer build, definitely more torquey than the usual B swaps. You'll definitely have to be on google half the summer cuz not a lot of people on the site right now have done anything like that.

I'm dying for any information, so please, anyone, speak up!

Seems like there is little to no info on these swaps. The bits and pieces I find and read I get the impression it's just like a h22 swap but I am not so sure. I found this while searching don't know if you had already seen it. If you go ahead and do swap it over start a build thread should be a fun summer.

Shift linkage - you would need cables and shift block from a h22
Tranny- h22 or h-b would work
Head swap to H22- only seen it once and they called it a "G" swap... weak
Axles - you would need either Integra (h2b) or you would have to get H swap axels
Ecu? and OBD - stay obd 1 and chip an ecu
Misc - you will have to extend fuel lines, bigger filter and bigger pump ( I think the pump from a prelude will work but a walboro 255 would work great)

I would stay away from an F build but have seen them done.

f22a7 has more hp torque and its obd1 If you can find one 0o I always wanted to put my f22p2 in my EG Hatch but ended up with the b18 on my 1st swap. I dented the frame and gave up on that car but i still have the motor on a skid lol

Alright everyone, going to pick up the engine today after work. Got an awesome deal, 115 for block, head, vc, and fuel injectors. Graduation is in a week so the funds for build are coming! Getting pretty excited!

I read up on the g22/g23 thing. DOHC is the way to go, but there isn't much info on the builds. The last one I looked at scared me a bit talking about welding off oil ports and shiz.

i always wanted to do an F series SOHC build in my EG.

they are pretty much the same as an H. so, H tranny, and mounts will work.

i honestly think the "G series" builds arent really all that worth it. you can go boost on a stock F and make mre power for close to the same money as a G swap.

But think! DOHC vtec 2.3L on boost in an EG. Whoa.. and not to mention you get to put a cool DOHC VTEC sticker on the side without shame.
