Honda CR-V - honda civic to crv engine swap - zorbadagreek

Hi, I have a Honda crv 2.2 cdti 05 with engine number n22a2 the top end of the engine is shot. I have been offered a Honda Civic 2.2 cdti on a 08 plate with the same engine number n22a2, it comes with injectors/ fuel system and turbo. My question is are they the same engine as in a straight swap into the CRV thanks

There was the i-CTDI (not CDTI) and later the i-DTEC which is different, but withe same engine code it seems likely doesn't it. Could be a different engine map I suppose but IIRC the quoted power was the same in both appplications.

Essentially it must be the same engine...always the possibility of some ancilliaries/mounts being different but my worry would be getting all the electrical bits talking to each other.

That's not an answer, I know - more a question to ask. I'd be interested in the definitive answer.

First port of call is here is to check what parts are common to both engines.

The other is to join the civinfo forum which has a section for crv owners, there are a lot of knowledgable folk on there who might be able to help.
