hey

Just got a 92 honda accord 4dr, looks like its in pretty good shape. I've also have my 91 honda civic so I've never looked at accords. The accord has a cracked block in it, should I get a new block/rebuild the motor or is there a good swap for 92 accords? Which car is better for performance. I really dont have the money for jdm so just usdm ideas will help. With a swap will this manual speed tranny match up? Any ideas will help, like I said - Never worked on accords and I am having trouble finding info online. Thanks

Take alot of loot swaping a racing motor......I would get that block fixed, and keep the motor

If putting a lot of loot in one of these is worth it I plan on spending it, but I'm wondering if a usdm motor is really that much slower than a jdm? like the f20 / f22 vs. a jdm h22, I know the price is much more.

USDM H22 - 190hp
JDM H22 - 200hp

Now, the F22 in the accord stock is 125, 130, or 140 (depending on trim and year), EX 92-93 for the most part are the 140. EX other years - 130, and DX,LX always 125.

The f20 depends on which one we're talking about but I don't believe the f20 was ever used here in the states, so it'd either be like the f20a or the f20(b?). One is 200hp the other is only 150hp as I recall right now.

Worth the money: JDM H22.....it's cheaper than a USDM believe it or not in almost all cases. Instant 60-75hp gain over the accord motor. Direct swap, only have to add a few wires to the wiring harness and that's about it. There is a link in my sig to a product you may/may not be interested in.

Much help, thanks alot!

Found the motor (h22a). Going to go jdm I will be able to save alot though if the stock trans will work with the h22a. Will it? Im just getting the long block anyone able to give tips for the swap :banghead: ? I want to do this right the first way no problems. Any help - thanks

your stock tranny will not bolt up to the h22 ive tried with mine when we were swaping the motor. a cheap bolt in no one really thinks of is the f22b1-2 Vtec motors 145-155 hp and there cheap the last two ive bought were $200 each. no tranny but yours will bolt up :iceslolan

As far as I know, the stock tranny from a 90-93 will bolt directly up to an h22a from 92-96. I don't know why you couldn't get yours to bolt up. In fact I've seen a couple different cars with accord motors and jdm h22a's including mine.
