    Also. just curious whats making you lean towards the J swap? Would you ride with the No hood shit, or get the mounts that make your oil pan 2 inches from the Ground?

    Im sure your H feels damn good..

    Is it full straight pipe? If not, you might want some back pressure....

    And the full 3 inch.. should be fine.. It wil support more mods with the 2.2 .. and yes the Nitrous

    go to www.j32a.com

    there is a lot more to those swaps than meets the eyes. For instance the auto and manual engines have significant differences in the timing belt side of the engine and how the ecu reads cam timing to crank timing. The gears and backing plates are different. Also you need a manual harness and a lot of sensors like one that reads marks on the flywheel also. So my best advice is get a full manual swap that hasn't been broken apart so you get everything.

    any 03+ accord will do you. Technically you can use any of them but it sure does complicate things if you use a really new one from a tl.

    ^^^You can do the swap for 4k, the fabrication part is that there is none. Just wiring and mounts and then the issue of the hood to deal with.
