Hey guys, Im about to purchase an 04' F22 (non drive by wire) for my AP1, other than the ECU and Wiring harness, What is necessary for the swap?

 

Why are you putting a F22 into a AP1?

 

yeah why??? Thats what id like to know

 

You can keep your AP1 ecu and wire harness.

Step 1: You'll have to grind a small tab off the fuel line so it fits th AP2 rail.

Step 2: keep the AP1 flywheel

step 3: thats it

 

I seems as thought i spun a bearing in my f20 with 108,000k on it, and the F22 is the right price. The ap1 ecu and harness are compatible with the F22? Are you sure? For some reason that doesnt make sense to me, different redlines and shit... Theres nothing else i need??

 

rev limiter won't kick in until 9000rpm, so just keep an eye on the tach and make sure to shift before 8200rpm

 

/of thread !!


and why so many asking why he is doing this ? its not uncommon and its a good swap f22 is a solid motor so is the f20 !!

bet it will be fun to drive with the ap1 tranny and flywheel

 

f22 = more torque and stronger valve retainers . There are quite a few people that have done this swap and rev the f22 to 9000 without ill effects

 

yes this is true, but in my op hondas engineers set the rev limiter on the f22 to a specific number for a reason....just my 2 cent tho goodnite !

 

I've had my F22 swap for almost 4 years now, taken to 9k daily with no problems. Its the best of both worlds. Gears compliment this swap nicely.
