We finally got the accord engine bay all painted after the shave. time to drop in the motor and get it driving again. This f20b swap came out better than we even emagined!!
I did a 90 Accord cb7 and used all of the factory stock mounts that was in the car on an f20b you can also use the ECU out of a 95 Accord EX it kicks in VTech little early but the car runs and idles fine I did add a VTEC controller and where I can play with the tune f20b is a very cool motor A lot of people are scared of them because dealing with the computers and such an issue oh and I did mine with automatics I know Auto suck but it is a harder job to pull off stick shifts are easy
+B P we liked the steal selves and the price of this one, because we are turboing displacement wasn't the biggest concern. Until later. I am curious to see how much the stock motor will hold, made 550 on a k series last sat. I wonder if that F20b will do 500 stock ..........🤔🚗💨😊👌😎
Gearheads Autofab thats crazy bro, im an hf guy i like everything about them from looks to performance. Daily drive a h22a and couldn't be happier even though it pulling a heavy accord as well. Wanna go h2b on a civic with this motor in the future.
Man Ef s have been my life. Had so many of them I still have my crashed crx in my garage ......sad cause I'm about to scrap it ......4 years and 100k in that thing ...... so sad to see it go.
Gearheads Autofab damn bro im sorry to hear that. honestly, i haven't transition to the k series yet. I like simplicity, or maybe im lazy lol. But i find all the performance and potential i want in the f-h series. Call me old fashioned if you want, but i cant wait to go h2b i know a few guys and gals who have gotten great results out of that hybrid.
Yep the distributor is definitely the only tricky part of that swap. Something that you can probably do is find a 95H 22 distributor, and see if it’s wired similarly to your car, some of them were internal coil and some of them were external coil, but if you find the right one it should fit the motor and plug into the car.
i have a 94 accord f20b swap. everything is stock but its idle high @2-3k also the guy i got it from doesnt have the coolant lines from iacv to waterneck.. any suggestions on fix?
Cameron Fountain , ok so high idle just means that there is too much air getting to the motor even with the throttle closed. Try this 1. Make sure your throttle cable is not holding open the throttle body there should be a small amount of slack in the cable. 2. cover the throttle body with something to block the air like a flat plate of metal or even card board or your hand even. see if it still runs , if so you know than the leak is external to you need to get some brake parts cleaner and spray everywhere on the intake manifold that could possibly have an air leak. Then plug what ever holes you find. (Don't sprey in the actual throttle body ) If it dies when you block off the throttle body, then you have a totally different problem. This type of problem is more complicated , having to do with the iacv (idle air control valve) or fast idle valve. Any way try that stuff and see what you find hit me up if you need any other advice 😎👌🚗💨
I just picked up a 92 Accord EX Sedan 5 speed with the F20B swap already done using a p13 ecu. For some reason it hesitates or backfires at wide open throttle. Also thinking about doing power steering in this car. Any suggestions?
I would just recommend getting a tune because none of the stock ECU work well in America, also maybe check your throttle position sensor that’s what controls the fuel when you rapidly open the throttle. And of course check all your spark components.
Nice !!! I'm not totally sure , I called and talked to Brian he's a good friend on mine he figured it out. I would suggest ordering from locash racing, he's right next to hasport and shipped then super fast .......and got me a deal 👌 ask for Joe and mention me so he hookes you up! Hope you swap goes good!
I just did a swap on a 2002 Accord with f20b use all your factory mounts off the f23 engine if you like to see it running go to my channel you can see it installed but I used all the factory mounts and the factory harness with f20b computer and I even used an automatic cuz that's what the customer wanted
+Juan Gonzalez of love too lol but I'm in Texas, but if you get stuck trying let me know I'll I'll try to help. But it's usually not a super hard swap. And the power is awesome !!
So the main components you had to swap to make it run OBD1 was just the Injectors and Dizzy??? I have a 94 accord and am very interested in this motor.
+Kyle Sawade if it's 94 it's already obd1 like this one. The biggest thing is we had by to swap it over was the motor mounts. The wiring was similar enough to run the stock harness I just had to rewire the distributor. For some reason on the Accord's Honda went back-and-forth between internal and external coil, but our accord was already internal coil and so is the F20b which made the changeover very easy. Just had to compare wiring diagrams between the two. But we are very happy with the power of the swap and the money were into it is very minimal. This is a awesome swap with minimal work and cost .
+Benjamin Hickson it depends on a few things, on his motor if he's just driving normal he could run lower octane, but he drives that thing hard all the time. Also in the winter he might be able to run lower octane because the heat is one of the main causes of detonation. He only makes 160 hp now so it's not like a turbo car or any thing. But because he has 11:1 compression so we have to be cautious of the octane.
Christan Diaz find out a way to do the wiring on the dissy, and have a bracket off a prelude h22 to bolt up the engine mount. Everything else should be pretty straight forward.
Originally we used the stock f22 trans..... but the gearing is super long and crappy. We just put a h23 prelude trans in it and jari feels ready to race everyone now lol. Stays in power and much better !!
youngcd7accord we put a left over p28 with hondata in it. We got it free when we bought the panda car, and the panda car is going on better management for drag racing. But it is nice that the accord was already obd1 kept it super simple !

Look on that man's face at 9:30 .. makes me want an accord again so bad
Nice build, awesome job guys
Thanks !!
Keep making vids mane I love them
+Tiryon Mitchell 👌🚗💨
You chose a great motor. H23a would've been great too. h or f both great

Ya .....crazy right 🤷♂️ not to mention the custom 32foot trailer and duramax to pull it and about 20k a year to travel and race it.
can you do a wiring tutorial im doing a 95 prelude f20b swap and need help
Wow video touch my heart
f20b one out of an accord sir-t, Euro-s come out of an accord too but it's a h22a. props on the swap tho. I'm putting one in a 97 prelude type sh
Mike Galarza one time I tuned a us type s motor that made 218 at the wheels completely stock motor............there's a trick to it tho .........
Gearheads Autofab and what are you waiting for spill the beans man! Lol
Im doing an F20b swap on my 95/96 accord wagon but having trouble with it. Everything plugs right up except my dizzy

Where do you buy spark plugs and wires ? I have the same engine f20b in a 1999 Honda Accord ex 5 speed.
on that engine how did y'all hook up the idle air control with the hoses going to it
i have a 94 accord f20b swap. everything is stock but its idle high @2-3k also the guy i got it from doesnt have the coolant lines from iacv to waterneck.. any suggestions on fix?

Lol if I have to go to Texas I will
I need help man please im stuck at my intake manifold .

is this in Round Rock? that HEB looks familiar
Th3Gr3mlinz we are in hutto that’s the new heb at the end of Gattis by 130
which exact hasport mounts did you order. planning on doing the sane swap in my 98 accord
Nice !!! I'm not totally sure , I called and talked to Brian he's a good friend on mine he figured it out.

Will you do my cd7 with a h23a blue top bc I went every shop in Florida and they discriminated my car since is not a civic
+Juan Gonzalez of love too lol but I'm in Texas, but if you get stuck trying let me know I'll I'll try to help. But it's usually not a super hard swap. And the power is awesome !!
Query, the F20B engine can work with an automatic F23 2001 accord box???
Ya I believe it fits to any h or f series transmission even auto
Real quick I know this is an old build . But what fuel injectors did you use
I think just the stock f20b injectors. But I wrote a custom tune. So any injectors would have worked
So the f20 b and and f22 have interchangeable parts?
Ya they have allot of parts that cross over.
So the main components you had to swap to make it run OBD1 was just the Injectors and Dizzy??? I have a 94 accord and am very interested in this motor.
+Kyle Sawade if it's 94 it's already obd1 like this one. The biggest thing is we had by to swap it over was the motor mounts.

Just had to compare wiring diagrams between the two. But we are very happy with the power of the swap and the money were into it is very minimal. This is a awesome swap with minimal work and cost .
what style T bracket and engine mount did you get, H22 or H23 and did you keep the P/S pump and if so what bracket for that ?
Kyle Sawade we didn't keep the power steering , and we used hasport mounts and t bracket
What alternator did you use my 93 accord alternator plug was different?
+Ruben Barragan hmm? I think we have had a few different ones but currently we are running the stock accord one .
do you actually have to use 93 forever
+Benjamin Hickson it depends on a few things, on his motor if he's just driving normal he could run lower octane, but he drives that thing hard all the time. Also in the winter he might be able to run lower octane because the heat is one of the main causes of detonation. He only makes 160 hp now so it's not like a turbo car or any thing. But because he has 11:1 compression so we have to be cautious of the octane.
I’m swapping my 97 accord f22b2 to a f20 sir bluetop auto version, what do you suggest??
Christan Diaz find out a way to do the wiring on the dissy, and have a bracket off a prelude h22 to bolt up the engine mount. Everything else should be pretty straight forward.
Where are the accord k-swap ???
Oh man ......he bought a Rsx now.....😎
Hey how did you make the fuel line reach the other side from the filter?
I think i switched to a line off another car like a Integra or civic
Where in Texas are y'all located. I'm looking to do an f20b swap for my 94 sedan too. Is it worth it?
It’s a awesome swap in my opinion. Austin tx
I've been thinking about getting an f20b...how can I get a t shirt?
Adrian Gonzales just email me at gearheadsautofab@gmail we do have some of the new panda /gear heads shirts 👌
Going to dyno tune the accord today maybe.......on hondata 😎👍
Without vtec? Because you didn’t go into high rpm?
+Benjamin Hickson Vtec works now but it was because of speed sensor. I went back and turned it off in the tune👌🚗💨
What transmission you guys use
Originally we used the stock f22 trans..... but the gearing is super long and crappy. We just put a h23 prelude trans in it and jari feels ready to race everyone now lol. Stays in power and much better !!
What header are yall using?
I think we just had stock ......not the best for power
use a p13 and get it chipped
youngcd7accord we put a left over p28 with hondata in it. We got it free when we bought the panda car, and the panda car is going on better management for drag racing. But it is nice that the accord was already obd1 kept it super simple !
Porsche’s suck, double wishbone for the win.
