For a while I have been obsessing over the H22a swap as a future project for my accord (which would make for a badass first car), and I recently discovered the F20B, and fell in love with it. Since my car is a 97, it is OBD2, and since most h22's I have found are OBD1, and conversion is a messy process (yes, i am aware that there are conversion harnesses). The F20b seems like a better choice for me because it seems much more compatible with my car (plus I like that it revs higher.
So I guess my questions are:
-can I plug the F20B OBD2 ECU into my car (which is also OBD2, but not VTEC) without converting? (i know I would have to wire up VTEC, but that doesn't look too difficult considering robotics is one of my hobbies)
-for the actual physical install it would be as for an h22, needing this Hasport mount and any accessories that are not included with the engine when I buy it, correct?
-anything else i am wondering are pretty much noob questions that I can use the search function to find answers to.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I like the higher revving nature of the f20 over the h22, plus i've found them cheaper. and they are blue.
