Hey guysss

going to look at a bb9 (i think) tonight
2.0i 130hp lude 5th gen

For me on the phone this search jobby is horrific haha
Swapping in a h22a seems straight forward but what else is needed besides engine and gearbox?
assuming ecu and clocks need swapped?

+ Engine loom (to get the vtec wire) and make sure the donor engine is off a 5g (or comes with all the ancillaries - ODB yo!)

Also, 2.0 to 2.2 Engine swap on a 5g is more complex if you are sticking with standard ecu, because the imoboliser is built into the ecu and key, iirc??? (so basically you need to get the key and barells off the donor car) :? unless I have that wrong, 5gers..?

Isn't it just easy or more convenient to get the 2.2 in the first place? :?
