I'm going to be swapping the F22b1 sohc vtec engine and manual trans from my 94 Accord EX Sedan into my younger brothers 95 Civic DX Hatch (Originally equipped with a D15b7 and an automatic transmission).
Questions>
Mounting: of the F22 in the EG. When the F22 is mounted in my accord there is a (1) rear mount, (1) trans mount, (1) drivers side mount *AND (1) front engine/transmission mount that mounts to the front engine cross member. All the mount kits I see (Avid Racing, Innovative, Hasport, Street Imports) That are for installing H and F series into an EG all include only three mounts and not the front engine/transmission mount. Yet the same kit for the EK includes a cross-bar with a mount for the front. Why? It doesn't make sense to run the F series in the EG without it's front mount, it would torque and rock Front/Back horribly. Do I need the kit for the EK? I read somewhere that the engine movement is controlled by using different durometer polyurethane bushings and so, the f22/h22 engines do not need the front mount when in the EG. Is there anyone who has done this swap who might want to chime in?
Wiring: Is it true that I will be plugging the POA Accord ECU into the EG harness? Then I must add wiring for the VTEC oil pressure switch, VTEC Solenoid, the knock sensor and a few EVAP Wires TO the EG Harness? Could I take just the engine harness from the Accord and swap it in there instead?
Drive-line: Is it necessary for a different intermediate shaft (half-shaft) than the one already in my Accord? I do understand that I need the H-Swap EG Axles.
