Yeah, good find. Drift, on average, how much does it cost around to get an h22 swapped in, done deal, in a 6th gen? I followed your thread a while back and some others here and there it seems to be about $3000-4000 after everything's said and done. I would definitely consider it if I could find a 2001 USDM engine so I could possibly pass inspection in 2 years.
if you have a driveway and can access a engine hoist you could DIY just send the ps line over to drift to have him fab it up and your good to go the wiring isnt all that bad either
The 99 accords have the FX01 chip. I've tried the Doctronic chip and it works perfectly. I tried it when I was swapping between my EDM Type R ECU and my OEM USDM ECU. I desoldered both immonbilizer chips and installed sockets so I could swap them around. Since my OEM ECU immobilizer already had my keys programmed, I just swapped it and I can swap my OEM chip into any OEM ECU that needs it.
I tested the FX01 chip for a friend in my ECUs and it works. If you simply desolder the immobilizer chip, the car will start if you wait 2-4 seconds in IG2 then start the car but the check engine light will go solid. May even leave you in limp mode but I couldn't confirm that as I didn't drive the car and was just testing ECUs.
