I don’t see a GSR swap for the Accord thread on H-T…so it’s probably more than likely not “easy”.

And, here a user is flamed for suggesting a B18C1 in an Accord…

i think you’d find the prelude swaps to be a much easier way to go.

Short answer yes. The b-series VTE motors (b16a, b18c1/5) are not nearly a direct swap for Accords, and they lack low end torque which doesn’t bode well for the much heavier Accords. H22A is your best bet.

it CAN be done. Its to small of a displacement motor for the weight of the vehicle. People put the F/H series in civic though.
