so i have a 95 accord ex f22b1. Engine mod's wise i have megan header + hiflow cat, flowmaster exhaust, Aem Sri, Vortex tb spacer, volt stabilizer, 10.5 spark plug wires + double plat plugs. So im trying to build my f22b1 i guess now i want to do a f23 im swapp and do a head swap. As far as the im swap would doing a h22, or f20 intake manifold swap gonna be better. Which is easier and which is gonna give me more power. And for the head swap can you swap a h22 head for the f22. I want to keep my vtec, with the head swap so i dont want to do a h23 swap but i havent gotten a direct yes or no on whether a h22 head will directly swap from other threads. And i've heard the f20's are the f22's just Dohc, would that be an easy head swap? Any comments would be appreciated. thanks

i know a few people who converted there sohc head to a dohc v tec head. what head there using? i have no idea. i will ask them and let u know.

yes you can put a h22 head on an f22 block and I think you can also put the h22 head on the f23 block also...I think you have to mod a few little things but thats about it..other than that it practically bolts right up

h22 head will not mate to the f22b unless the f22 block sees the machine shop. oil passages and coolant passages will have to be modified to accommendate the h22 head. why are looking in to a dohc swap unless yur planning on boosting. and vtec doesnt matter when your boosted. if your looking for more power , then just throw the h23 prelude intake from 92-96 on there. you get the same results as the head swap. without all the hassel . plus you keep the vtec. also the f20b and h22 intake wont mate to the poa head. even when you put the h23 intake onthere you have to route all the coolant, fuel, vaccum, ect to fit the intake. another is the intake flange has to modified to sit without hitting the vtec soleniod and oil pressure switch. youll spend 500 at most for the whole head swap . plus youll need a wiring harness. ecu. timing gear, crank pulley. timing belt, throttle body, and a few more things as the thermostat housing ect. just the intake . all need is the intake , throttle body, thermostat housing, and you ll see 5-7hp gain with much improved low to mid range power. word to the wise, f22 sohc vtec boosted at 10 psi can see 240whp . with a few other mods. and f series love boost. hope this has been helpful

I didnt say it was goin to be easy..i just said it can be done lol....sounds like the h23 intake manifold and turbo sounds good to me...thats what id go for...thats what im thinking about doing cuz I dont want a huge amount of HP just around 250-300 would do awesome..so im thinking of doing a rebuild on the f22b1 in my car and turboing it...possibly the h23 intake mani now that youve brought that to my attention

hondaburner1995

whats a good route to take on just the intake , skunk2 intakes are great on the sohc head. just a few mods and there bigger and better than the stock intake form the prelude. also looks alot better too .

Damn batman, would you please stop screen-dooring **** with excessive clusterfuck information? I know he said any comment would be appreciated, but there was at most three questions in the original post and you gave about 2309430990 answers.

No where in his post did I see **** about boosting. You come in here saying a boosted f22 on 10 psi can hit 240 whp with a few more mods. And in the other thread you just screendoored I saw you say 230-260 on 16 psi.
But then you said the stock internals coudn't handle that kind of boost, so why do you recommend it in this thread without advising the OP of that?

You also say that VTEC doesn't matter with turboed engines. Bullshit. VTEC is utilized to change the cam profiles at high RPMs, and I don't give a **** how much boost you're running, you can stuff a lot more air and therefore fuel in the engine if the cam profile is more agressive and allows the valves to be open for a few more degrees than non-vtec.

TouringAccord

if you want to do a head swap, there are a few links in the Accord FAQ that will lead you to the some head swap threads. There you can read up on what is required so you can decide if it's worth it to you or not.

so swapping to a dohc wont gimmie any performance with out boost. I forsure want to do the Im and Tb swap, and eventually i want to rebuild my lower block and boost it. And eventaully im going to need my rebuild my head so i thought for now i would just do a dohc swap and get some more power for now cuz im not sure when im gonna boost it.

Speedra500

I would completely disregard everything hondaburner said. The swap has been done by many with great results. I am in the process of building a turbo F22/H22 hybrid right now. Check out prelittlelude's thread in the prelude forum and it tells you exactly what you need to do. It is not very difficult and it should be excellent for boost. I had CP make some custom pistons for the motor for use with H22 rods, they should still have my specs on file if you are interested

jdmacchonda

Need help in building my f22b1 ,any suggestions on either a h23 prelude intake mani ,cam ,cai and exhaust or just swap out pistons

mudpuppy4life

on youtube there is a white (lude i think) with the f22/h22 hybrid build go to youtube and type in g22 hybrid and it will pop up or google search g22 hybrid and his build sheet will pop up

jdmacchonda

thanks that but can ne one tell me y my car ends up wobling back n forth wen i hit 70mph ne thing over 70 mph its fine

While I applaud you for at least picking a thread with a relevant topic for your question, you bumped one that is a couple years old. Plus your question has been answered in other threads... I don't know what your power goals are, but your first option, with a tune of course, will typically net you more than just swapping pistons (which is incredibly vague btw).

Though from how you phrase that question you might want to go and do more research for your own benefit. Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean, I just want you to know how to find the best answer to your question without breaking/infringing on forum rules and ediquette.

Make your own thread for that question (or include this with your other question) and stop thread-jacking this one.

(hint for answer: out of round wheel(s) or you need to do the 12-6, 9-3 test)

It's old as hell anyway. Good luck with your issue and your build.
