I have the same car just a 95 lx I bought it from the original owner. I’ve been looking to h22a1 swap it I’ve watched so many videos, and I will say the way this kid breaks down the swap is hands-down, the best

Literally have a 1996 lx accord wagon and an h22 in my garage. I cannot wait

[@giovannisuarez680]

The way u explain things, it's very calm and u explain it well, I just got a 93 Honda and wanna swap, thank u

[@aboodalshoodri4373]

man thanks for this, subbed and thumbed i was browsing through forums and youtube to decide whether to swap h22a or a k24 which is not so straight forward but you got me convinced to h22a. appreciate the transparency

[@electricshield3796]

Sweet thanks man for this I have a 1991 Honda Accord sedan LX and never done a engine swap. This gives my Insight on what I need to do thank you again!

[@superdave4543]

I just saw an H22 accord smashing. I had to pull up next to them and ask what the heck motor he had. The Vtec sounded amazing and this accord was as fast as my 11th gen civic 1.5t. This is a worthy swap! Super cool swap.

[@bungendores_finest]

Amazing video, everything from explaining clearly and the videos production and cinematics. I also have a 1995 CD-5 VTi Manual F22B-1 Sedan here in Australia 🇦🇺 Loving the motor just how she is factory manual but definitely on the bucket list to do the same as you! You’ve gained another subscriber bud. Great work! 😊

[@Lost10mm.]

I'm surprised that you didn't try to combine the two engines. Great job on the swap, doing a f22a1 build so I've watched a few builds and its crazy how interchangeable honda is.

[@iamcreative_]

This video is gold bro thanks! I too have a 97 accord coupe 5 speed. Just recently discovered my engine was an F22B and I was looking to make this into a sleeper with another engine. I was told D series was the way to go but then I heard some say K series. Heard very little from H but really interested now that I see for myself the steps to take. A few friends of mine laugh when I say I'm tryna be fast enough to beat or keep up with any SRT series lol. Anyway man thanks again for the details, this helps. Ps: Is that a Ford Probe back there!??

[@chris__whips]

You’re welcome! And that’s awesome, normally people keep the D series in the civics, you’ll want a larger motor for an accord like an H,K,F, or even J series if you can squeeze it in! H series are probably the most underrated Honda motors in my opinion, but they can definitely gap some SRTs with a mild engine build and a turbo. And good eye!

[@link4eva10]

Good video, I just want to add the accord and prelude transmissions are NOT the same. Gear ratios are longer in most Accord transmissions something to watch out for using the new VTec crossover

[@skopur]

dope bro, u got my support

[@tristencooke5859]

Can you drop a link for all the parts you bought for the swap, what to buy, and who to buy it from?

[@Subphonic1]

Secondary runner controls will need to be wired in on the h intake manifolds. This chassis DID NOT come with the connections in the harness. Unless you got a spacer, an aftermarket intake manifold or you gutted it, this will need to be done and do before the motor goes in, sooooooo much easier. This info also applies to the Acura CL's as well. A BB4 prelude mount, slighty grinded on the sides, will let you bolt into the chassis AND use the original mount on the motor without modding it(Sohc bracket it short, dohc bracket it long) or you might get lucky to score an Si-R mount from ebay overseas.

[@anakincapazo2628]

So I just watched this I’m wanting too do this exact swap I’m alittle slow and still learning … so my manual stock f22b1 tranny will match too this motor and all the motor mounts will match too this motor too? Also if the tranny matches does this mean my axles and suspension will too?

[@chris__whips]

Hey! Yes your F22 trans will bolt up to the h22 motor. All the mounts will match, except the drivers side mount. You might need to drill a hole how I did, or get 94’ prelude h22 engine post mount. Or hasport sells the full mount kit. Axles and suspension will match as well, just use compatible half shafts. So if you use your accord axles, use your accord half shaft. If you use prelude axles, use the prelude half shaft. Also, use the accord rear t-bracket for the rear mount. I hope this all helped!

I have a question, so my car won’t start now. It’s a 97 integra with a h22A swap with ob1 PO6 ecu mapped for H22a. But when I used to start my car I’d hear a clicking in the dash then my fuel pump would turn on then I’d start my car. Now when I turn the key I don’t hear any clicking and my fuel pump don’t even turn on. I changed the main relay it’s new. Still nothing. A buddy thinks it’s my Ecu gone bad?? What do you think 🤔

[@chris__whips]

Joe Smoe it could potentially be the ECU, but maybe check all of the fuses. Do you get power to everything else besides the fuel pump?

[@joesmoe5006]

Chriswhips yea everything gets power and all the fuses are good. It cranks also but no start

[@chris__whips]

Joe Smoe it actually could be your ecu. I had an Ecu go bad on me in my accord last year and it would do that same thing.

[@spunkyspice4733]
