Hey gang!!! Here’s a question for you. I have a ’98 CL that is just about in perfect shape. It almost has 150K miles and I know the engine will not last forever. The car has been nothing but good luck to me and if the engine goes I’d hate to get rid of it (and truthfully there are no new cars at this point that I am interested in). Has anyone swapped out a rebuilt engine in this car? What about doing something to increase performance at the same time? What kind of cost are we looking at? Any good sources?

Thanks!

Some have done an H22a swap. That will give you a horsepower increase.

nickbeee

H22a??? is that the dual cam engine? is it plug and play?

ib_jimmy

yeah the 2.2/2.3 is base of the 94-97 accord and H22A will bolt right in.

Real quick....does your fuel efficiency go down with the h22a? dramatically?

legendaryCL98

who cares about fuel... its all about power!
haha.. i know what u mean danman.. lol..

at first i thought plug n play was a computer only term.. hhaha..

satinsilvercl

I just want to know

LCARUCA 97

yeah..i better do some research........

Leon

yeah it goes down, not so much that it bothers me though. Remember, higher redline (spinning faster) and more power, not to mention that you'll be getting on it more also!

LCARUCA 97

i only use slightly more fuel than i did with the f22. premium is fackin expensive though!

twOpoint2

does anyone with an h22 know if the climate control works after that or if you lose any of the options in the first gen cl? Thanks.

LCARUCA 97

everything should work as normal of you do it right. cruise control can be a bitch to get working again, but its doable.

Leon

everything still works!
