BrIaN EG2 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 if you want to reuse your ECU youre going to need to have it remapped for the engine youre getting.. and yes youll need the H22 harness, i mean you can use yours most likely but im unsure and if you can itll just be a headache IMO.. if you can i would get the H22 harness and ecu with the swap.. just saves you alot of work and a headache.. is the h22 obd1 or obd2? if its obd2a/b youre going to need to buy a obd1 to obd2 conversion harness.. a few people on here know where to get them from.. ive never done a swap in an accord but everything i needed for my swap was as follows:: engine with harness and ECU shift linkage axles mounts t bracket like i said ive never done a swap in an accord so im not sure if youll need all of the same things for the swap.. try looking around in google, there should be some writeups lurking around somewhere.. hope i helped you out a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raley Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Brian thought you were doing a whole swap. You need the head, ecu or chip yours, run some wires or swap harness. Done and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done and done. thanks raley sounds good to me but from what year H22 can i put in this car a 92-96 h22 vtec or a 97-01 vtec h22 they have different ones h22a1 etc and i have a 92 accord so which one will fit. and what wire harness do i need the complete engine harness with the ecu wires as well or just the wires for the injectors and sensors what not dont i have to change my oil pump also put a vtec pump?
