so just to clarify...and not trying to steal this thread but...i aswell looked into a H22A4 swap for my 1998 honda accord coupe. (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) but the H22 needs a little persuation to get it to work. also i found out that the H23 will fit directly into a 98-03 accord with minor mods (meaning the motor mounts)to make it work? as for boosting a stock F23A1 how much boost can the engine take? here is a little bit of info on my accord. 1998 F23A1 with 208,xxx miles taken care of. so my next question is "TO BOOST OR NOT TO BOOST?" considering i would get more power from a turbo then a H22 or H23.

(SORRY FOR THE NOVEL)

takes the same to swap a h22 as a h23. only difference h22 has vtec...same mounts and everything. Heck the only mount you have to change is the driver side mount to a prelude mount and you can run all OEM mounts.

czr:
If your accord has over 200,000 miles, I'd be against it, even if the engine could handle it for a while... The H engines are almost a direct swap and good if you're on a budget. You just need to modify some wires to make them fit and as g22cd5 already said, the driver side mount needs to be from a prelude.
