Gearhead extraordinaire!
1993 Civic (will update when i determine DX for sure)
D15b7 engine
5 spd
OBD1 (Fair certainty, had another 93 all power civic auto trans was OBD1)
(More tech specs to come, will adjust these as I determine for sure)
I have a 1996 Accord EX?
F22b1 engine
5 spd
ODB2 (other years/models were OBD1 same engine)
MY GOALS:
1. Swap the F22b1 into the 93 civic
Drive the car faster. (See questions under #1 below)
Christen the car a Dragster.
2. Swap an H head and intake manifold onto the F22b1.
Drive the car even faster. (We'll get to questions here MUCH LATER)
3. Turbo
DRIVE THE CAR WAY FASTER (Again lets worry about this upon completion of 1st goal.)
#1 questions:
Upon research for half a day now, with understanding that not EVERYTHING I read on the internet is true:
Can I make this swap without modifying Civic engine bay?
IF so, any advice as to ECU's, mounting issues, transmissions would be grand!
Mounting issues VS. Axels, Suspension, etc.
Can I drop the F22b1 right onto the Civic 5 speed? (NON-Swappable forums were saying basically yes)
Can I make this swap easier by dropping an OBD1 harness on to the F22b1?
DO I REALLY WANT TO? (OBD2 is easier to diagnose due to more codes and refined checks, IMHO)
What's the status of my power steering, AC, Radiator, Brake Master Cyl (any other issues on engine bay size vs. F22b1?)
I'm not allowed in the Swap Forum so I placed this here, I realize it could go in Civic forums too, but determining which Civic I have will determine that I suppose!
