Planning on swapping?

[Jakethesnake]

I'm planning on swapping my stock 94 dx engine with a h22a engine that i'll get through canada. My question is what should i get done to my stock engine till i get my engines swapped....i wont get the engines swapped till late summer

[Smitty90acc]

Intake and exhaust are interchangeable with the H22, but headers aren't.

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Like Smitty said, go ahead and do I/E and stop there. Clutches are also interchangeable between the two engines if you wanted to do that.

What's a good exhaust that i should get? I'm thinking about getting a AEM cold air intake.

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Get the AEM for sure, but exhaust is largely up to you. They all sound different, but I would recommend a Greddy or maybe a Tanabe... how much are you looking to spend on the exhaust?

[Jakethesnake]

I think i'm going to spend my tax return money which sound be like 400-500....any suggestions? That would be for both intake and exhaust

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Hmm... does that money have to include the install, or will you be doing it yourself?

[Jakethesnake]

I dont really want a exhaust that is extreamely loud just one that sounds nice

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

If you go for something like the Greddy EVO, you won't have money left over for an intake, so you might have to buy a muffler and pay a muffler shop to run custom piping to it. My suggestion would be to save up a little more.

[Jakethesnake]

How does the Greddy EVO sound??? Is it loud or does it sound like something worth buying, i dotn want something that is extremely loud

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

I've heard a Greddy EVO on a 5th gen prelude (if I remember correctly). It sounded very deep and not raspy at all. I didn't hear him get on it, but it sounds great for city driving.

[Jakethesnake]

Hey i got one question for ya...where is the edu located on a 5th gen accord??

[Jakethesnake]

my bad...where is the comp located?

[Jakethesnake]

So you think i should get teh h22a vtec for a swap?...i'm really thinking about getting becuase i've read on other threads that in montreal there is swap shop that sells them for 2300 cnd and i was hopping i could find more infor on that place...but before i get a swap i gotta fix the damage from a previous accident...right fender, bumper and hood need replacing...i just need to find a cheap shop to paint and install....we'll see how things go

[onebad90accord]

I would also work on suspension that is what i am doing...I wont have my swap untill next january...so body and suspention:cool:

[NoNafs]

any1 actually done a swap here? every1 talks about gettin a swap but i have yet to hear from sum1 who has. regardless, from the ppl on this forum, and other places(jdm1.com) the engine swap seems quite straight forward with no mods neccessary, but does this also include the tranny, or will u hav to change the mounts on that, bc i kno the engine mounts do not change. any knowledge on the subject would b appreciated.

[Jakethesnake]

The swap i'm planning on getting comes with everything...manual tranny, ecu, and everything else that i need.

[NoNafs]

Where u gettin it done, or u doin it ureself?

[Jakethesnake]

There is a place that i've heard of in montreal that is seeling a h22a for 2300 canadian plus i've heard it's like 800 canadian for install. Plus i only live 2 hours away so it works out good. And it comes with manual tranny and everything else i need for the swap, i only other thing i'm going to buy is a clutch kit and shortshifter

[NoNafs]

Let me know how it works out, bc its sumthin ive definately become interested in.
