[@chrishunter1148]

You is like the only one that have upload of the cb7 with f23 and that give us a look of a how to do it. Let's get it 💪. RAB

[@porigense67]

I know this old video but I'm just working on my cb7. What mounts you use. I was about to set it un but the mounts from the original don't work. It's a manual transmission. Thanks for your help.

[@Cozel]

I can just smell the shop now after seeing that heater 😂 boy they give me migraines

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

I must be immune lmao. It dont effect me at all

[@Cozel]

@@DrivenFilmsPhotography 😂😂 must be cause the one i was around got my high off life 😂😂

[@jaceisakson3827]

I appreciate this video. I'm about to do this swap on my cb7. It's good to know there is a video I can get some much needed info from. Thanks for all the tips and info.

[@edwindiaz1172]

Definitely enjoyed the more hands on in the video and u explaining the injector harness connector conversion

[@edwardmerida3252]

There is always constant power and grounded by the ecu or the other way around. It doesn’t reallly matter which wire connects of the 2 because it’s basically a solenoid not an electric motor where reverse polarity will cause the motor to spin backwards.

[@manuellopezej1]

Loving this build its coming out real good keep it up

[@JAVIERFSG3]

Hey man, currently attempting to do this f23a swap in my 1991 cb7 so far this video has cleared some of my questions hopefully mine comes out as good as yours, keep it up.

[@JAVIERFSG3]

the idea of slapping the f22a head on it got discarded I decided to move on to better technology by keeping the f23 and just do the whole swap so I end up with an OEM+ fresh jdm motor on the car.

[@justinbarrett33]

Nice to see some of that f-series footage man. I built a jdm F22b around the same time you posted that F22b swap. Which brought me to the channel way back. Been watching since and trying to support you homie.

[@nicolasrmatos]

Hi buddy, i did this swap on my 96 lx accord a few months ago. So far its running great. If you havent started it yet you might have an issue trying to ge it in time with the distributor. Now i used my stock lx distributor, works fine but the timing is not there spot on. So far yours is looking great man.

[@Cbsaiyan]

Notifications on! Thank you

[@porigense67]

That’s a nice engine. My son and I want to swap his cb7. Keep up the good work on explaining these kind of things.

[@shaneknoll8648]

Glad this got recommended have a 01 accord sedan and a 91 accord wagon not many showing this swap great work subscribed

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Appreciate you fam!

[@herbiewalls4882]

Dude I appreciate the splaining you got it perfect I understood it you broke it down enough for me to understand it I appreciate it buddy

[@porigense67]

I finally got one, today. Can I reuse the distributor, from the factory motor? How about the motor mounts?

[@miguelnaranjo5035]

Do you have a video for wiring in vtec? ? Im trying to also use my original harness from my f22 to my f23a1, thanks for all the info already on your videos

[@deansmith9116]

Good stuff, little info always appreciated...🤔🤔...Keep up the good wkrk/content.....👊

[@atemegabites2251]

F23 most underrated Honda engine. Slap a nice turbo on these and they’ll pull. If it blows oh well get another f23 For $100. Tons of torque compared to a b16 or even a gsr

[@cardudegarage]

There very slept on and underestimated my boosted f23 accord shocked quite a few people lol

[@ekdan9551]

I’m assuming this works for 4th gen prelude too

[@ChannelAHHA]

I had to come back and find this video because I'm have issues and now I see what I did wrong. I bought a 98-02 distributor instead of a 94. Hopefully I'll be good now and be able to start my car.

[@miguelcontreras3946]

Aye bro wat did you do to the small hose on the front of the intake in between the throttle body and throttle cable bracket?

[@4077661466jp]

Yeah did this swap 10yrs ago and still have it in 93 accord wagon, its a good budget replacement upgrade from factory f22 but as for performance wished id waited and just spent extra $ for H22a type S motor, but i forget its a wagon not a dam gsr 😂

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Yea this thing made hell tq. Just as much as a h22a to the wheel with just a h23a tb. 300 bucks for the motor. It was definitely worth it. It's turbo now making over 300wtq completely stock and its stupid fun. H motors are just too expensive these days

[@porigense67]

So do you use the old harness on the F23a? Can I use the old fuel rail?

[@nunceygodcb7accordz576]

Keep it goin homie. Ur gonna luv it once u get it rite.. cant wait to see wat #z u make on dyno.. I'm getting mine tune next weekend fingers cross

[@omaralmamari6361]

You are awesome. Keep up the good work.. Love cb7s and love watching your videos💪🏼💪🏼

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Appreciate that fam🙌🙏🙏🙏

[@dw8730]

On the CG chassis I was wondering if I went to a chipped p28 ecu. Would my A/C still work?

[@miguelnaranjo5035]

What wiring harness did you use? The original from the f22? Or did you use one from a different gen accord??

[@Carlos-un5eo]

Hey brother i have a question, i have a 94 obd1 f22b1 engine i swapped into my 97 obd2 , there is a FIA sensor on the b1 intake manifold, im using my obd2 harness no connector for it ,how do i wire in the sensor or can i just by pass it

[@kyleschow4982]

@ DrivenFilmsPhotography why don't you do a g23 turbo on this build? Its a f23 bottom end w/ a h22 head and boost it? Anyways keep up the great content =)

[@MichaelWashingtonAE]

Probably not because of the reliability factor. Have seen a few do it from the old days over a decade ago on CB7 Tuner. None of them lasted long

[@righty-tightybuilt548]

So I have done so much research and all I can find is people with the same questions but other people on forums telling them to do the research lmfao.. I know that I can use my obd1 dizzy in the f23a now but what about the iacv problem or is it plug and play?? I heard there is a three wire to two wire difference.. I am planning on doing a junkyard f23a1/4 build on my cd5 accord and youve done a great jobe on your cb7, and I plan on buying one soon just cause yours is looking so clean.. but this is going to be my setup f23a1 with f22b1 dizzy and f22b1 ecu and f22b1 engine harness but run the f23a1 injectors and fuel rail that I will wire up to my harness. But I want to figure out the whole wiring problem before I find myself in a big problem without a car to drive lol.. but can you tell me if it will be a plug and play fit with the alternator wire and iacv plug? If not do i just need to wire up the iacv to be able to wire up to my harness or?? Lmk

[@DTunedF22]

Is this the same process for an F22B1 95 Accord EX. I have OBD1 and want to convert it to OBD2

[@lorenzowilson5473]

What’s good b that track tho !! I fucks wit it!! The swap is simple an clean I respect it those motors are strong ! But keep it up bro love it

[@Issa_3hunna]

How did you get the iac valve to work

[@saulpaz1834]

Witch header brand do I use on the f23a motor on cb7 ... ??

[@mccoleman4310]

What ecu did u use for this bro got a jdm f23 comming in for the LuckyCB7, jus wanna make sure I have what I need for the swap

[@marlonbrown6015]

What song is that in the time lapse

[@jile2245]

Eyo dale what chip and program do you use for the P28 for this particular swap T.Y.I.A

[@ElizkBeatz]

i want to do the same swap but look for another low mile tranny 5 speed. what are my options bro?

[@brandonmarcinkowski2098]

I like this build its a little different.

[@charlesdemeary]

I don’t think it’s taking longer I just think it’s a new area that you don’t want to mess up. Also, you’re right not a lot of people doing any F series content at all and that right there makes it take longer because the research process is a little longer.

[@jamesclapp3087]

Really looks nice. I would like to do an intermediate shaft on my f22. Is that possible? I hope it will help with the torque steer issue I have. Nice job!!!

[@Sarah-u3x1q]

is there anything you had to do to get the chipped P28 ecu to work with the f23a? i have the exact car and jdm motor swap inspired by you, and when i plug in the P28 with a chip {basic basemap} it goes into limp mode, i did the obd1 conversion so its not that and its not the ecu because i cut the J1 jumper in the ecu and it runs without limp mode, when i reconnect J1 it cranks and turns over but wont stay running, help from anyone would be appreciated? p.s i deleted the iacv and egr from the ecu and my intake manifold doesnt have butterflys so its not that

[@c8carcare903]

Can I use 1992-1993 HONDA ACCORD EX 4 CYCLINDER F22A1 2.2L VTEC ENGINE HARNESS M/T for the Jdm f23a swap

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Yes. I prefer to ALWAYS use the harness that comes with your car. Its the easiest way for me

[@patidigo]

Hi body im from brazil and ineed help i have 1999 honda accord 2.3 non vtech automatic ineed to do ecu swap for OBD1 which honda civic do you recommend for me to use the obd1

[@mccoleman4310]

Do you need a specific clutch and flywheel for the f-23 or can you pretty much use any F-series clutch and flywheel because I have a stage 1 clutch and pressure plate and a new flywheel for a F22 that I just had for my previous engine can I use that?

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Same one works perfect bro. H/f are all the same

[@mccoleman4310]

@@DrivenFilmsPhotography I appreciate that bro, I'm gettin to work tomorrow pulling the f22 out of the CB and then on to getting the f23 ready🙏🏾🙏🏾 again I just appreciate your channel bro your turbo car is the reason I'm putting this f23a in my cb7💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾, and I know it's going to be a bunch of fun with the prelude trans🙏🏾

What did you do to keep the f22 manifold? Everyone tells me use the f22a manifold but I'd rather not spend extra money if I dont have to .also what did you all did you have to rewire or extend from the cb7 harness to work with the f23 and what fuel line(s) did you use ? Ig @issa_3hunna

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

Its pretty similar. I just didn't use a iacv

[@Issa_3hunna]

@@DrivenFilmsPhotography did you run Into to any issues

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

@@Issa_3hunna nope. Same as any h swap you would do

[@Issa_3hunna]

@@DrivenFilmsPhotography last 2 questions what fuel line did you use ..or is there another car that I can grab one from..and under the distributor there is a connector and there is a little nipple like connector thing..(lol cant think of what's it's called) on the f23 its blocked of by a bolt..did you remove the bolt and put the one from the original motor there or did you just leave it blocked off

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

@@Issa_3hunna I had a line made by a local autoparts shop. And yes you need that sensor. It's what your temp gauge in the car runs off of. Remove the bolt and place the sensor from your f22 in there

[@4077661466jp]

94-95 accord ex harness is all u needed, odb 2 isnt a upgrade its a unnecessary hassle for no reason other than to do more work and limit yourself from a tuning aspect

[@DrivenFilmsPhotography]

My number 1 rule with any swap is always use the harness that comes with the car
