Hey guys,
Bought a 98 Accord with a J30A1 (distributor) fully loaded for $400... First Honda and I'm liking it for only driving it once. It had an awful miss which I fixed with new plugs, wires, fresh oil change, valve adjustment etc. She certainly has a bottom end knock for sure. So, swapping it out very soon.
The donor car I have available is a 01 J30A1 with electronic ignition/coil over plug. What do I need to swap to support the new engine?
Assuming I can just drop in the 01 motor, providing I retain the 01 engine harness and the engine as a whole minus accessories like alternator/power steering etc.
But I'm skeptical if I require the 01 ECU, and if I do, no problem, but do I need the keys and an electronic module for the immobilizer?
Thanks....
