I recently bought a '97 2.2, but I need a motor for it. The problem I'm having is there a couple different F22 motors out there, which do I need? F22b? Will the F22 from a 94-95 Acc work? I read that the 96-97 F22 has a crank sensor, is this another type of F22? I've also found an F22B1. In short what is the engine stamp say on your(s) '97 2.2 blocks? ie: F22B ,F22B1, F22A

 

forget the F series go H

 

Word if you can afford the H22 get that instead but if not its F22B1...

 

do the h22 if you can, otherwise get the f22

 

these guys speak teh truth...


f22b1 (96-97) 300-400


h22a = muchos $$$$$ but its the perfect time for the swap.. everything bolts up perfectly.. you will regret not getting the h22 later on down the road

 

Thanks for the replies, this CL will be stock for now. Get around ride.. The other 1st gen I have is a 3Liter, waiting for it's transplant and misc parts...

 

dont bother building that 3.0 you'd be better off building a f22b1

 

uh oh here we go again...

Hey btw what H22 bolts right up?

 

h22a..

and we arnt starting another 3.0 vs 2.2 becuase 2.2s are way faster yo

 

 

Not necessarily.... 3.5

 

save the extra money and do the h22 all you need is the motor and not the trans so you will save money, or do a f22 with h22 head. good luck

 

atleast get a JDM f22..they arnt too expensive..I could get you one for around 500

 

what are the specs on that motor

 

f22b1 is what u need or f23a anything. if you want to live up to your name better go h22 + bolt ons. or NOS the crap out of an f.

 

 

woot

 

Once again thanks for all your replies.. But the 2.2 is just for gettin around.. I am going to build the 3 Liter for performance. I already have the motor I'm going to swap into it.

VXCL I've asked you before, and you said it was very difficult and you didn't want to get involved in such a project. But are you willing to make another set of custom Headlamps like your last setup before you sold the CL?



What is the difference in the JDM F22?? And what is included for $500? Tranny? ECU? Wiring Harness? etc...

For NOW this is just a get around ride.. In the future something better than an F or H motor if it's still in good shape.

You can't build the 3.0 for performance without having a spare transmission lying around.

 

oye'..platano nice wheels

and to platano's comment

 

Def go H Series they are smooth like ur moms thighs

 

Will you please conduct yourself in a semi-mature manner?

If you insist on running off at the mouth, go do it in Ramblings, not here.

 

Homie dont even take it there..


6spd, is the answer to that one..


What is the difference in the JDM F22 motor will it be straight bolt on?? What about an F23 straight bolt on?? And what is included for $500? Tranny? ECU? Wiring Harness? etc...

he might mean f20b which is the accord euro r motor, its basically a destroked h22 -more rev happy, better flowing head, higher comp.

also you could bolt the h22 head to your f23 block and have more displacement for way cheaper then a whole swap plus the benefit of more tq. and a higher revving motor. h22 head on your f23 block + k20a pistons cams and a good header=mid 14s with bolts ons, the possibilites are endless with the fseries contrary to what most on here believe...

 

F22b is a 160hp Jdm 4th gen Lude engine..It bolts right in and uses the stock ECU w/ no problem.

 

160HP@6800
148lb ft@5500

 

And what is included for $500? Tranny? ECU? Wiring Harness? distributor? How many miles on it what year the motor is and warranty? etc...

I basically need a complete motor. If you could be give a breakdown or pic as to what is included we can go from there. Im trying to get a complete of a motor as possible.

I take it, it's SOHC, and can confirm that it's a straight bolt on no cutting this and that to make it work.


Thank you for your time.. Mike S.
