f23 swap

[Krueger]

So i recently just bought a stripped crx from a buddy, came with 4 mesh wheels and tires, 5 gallon fuel cell, very nice shifter set up, and an f23 engine. Tranny is s**t, whatever. I had the intentions of doing a turbo f23 swap since it has the turbo manifold already and some other goodies for turbo set up. My question is, how hard will it be to swap into my ek? I know i need axles and all that fun stuff but is there any fab that has to be done or can i just straight up buy motor mounts and be good to go?

Anyone?

I have the same question ....what else is needed for this swap

 

[got traction]

you use the same mounts as if you were putting a H series in your car

if ur swapping an F engine intour crx, use H motor mounts. F and H series engines use the same mounts. so get the H motor mounts that fit the CRX and u can put in thee F23. have u looked into th G23 swap? it is a F23 block with an H22 head. the compression is very low on that engine and it is meant to be boosted. i have a friend who has that swap in his 99 civic si coupe. it is a BEAST. also, get the H transmission because the H tranny bolts right up to the F engine. i know all of thisbecause before i had my civic, i had an accord wagon and i was researching this swap. u can find more info about the G23 on cb7tuner.com or just about any accord website.

You'll also need to adapt the shift location for the box and cables, you don't want the cables to kink at all or you won't be able to shift.

i dont understand the wiring of the swap....i have a totled 01 accord in my yard thats where im getting the swap from do i run all the wiring out of the accord including the underdash wires or do i use my 96 ek's wiring under the dash and wire it into the accord harnest? and do i have to change the motor from obd2 to obd1?
