F23 swap in Gen 5
#25
Not to my knowledge. Even if you could wire it somehow, the OBD2a ECU couldn't operate the 3-wire IACV.

I don't have any experience swapping an F23 into an OBD1 car but I have a few questions:
- What distributor and coil are you using, the ones from the F22?
- What ECU are you using, the original one from your car or a different one?
- Did you wire up the VTEC solenoid valve and VTEC oil pressure switch?
- Other than the CEL code 4, is the car running OK?

I guess I never realized how fortunate I was with how strong it ran. Now I'm seeing everyone's having problems with the swap and it makes me wish I still had my car lol

I used a chipped P28 ECU (I used to chip them and tune them myself). Then I just ran a stock map for an F23 with slight tweaks. Ran super strong with no problems.
