Well on the B1 the coil is in the dizzy itself, on the B2 there is a coil (black box, the size of a cigarette box) outside sitting next to the dizzy and there is a cable between them. And yes the B2 head is better flowing for turbo applications.

What is a dizzy?

TouringAccord

some people like to use dizzy as shorthand for distributor.

SQ is the SQUAD

seeing that your head and block dont match, estimation milage is impossable. that head could have 300k on it........ that block dident come from you lx accord, it could have 300k on it...........

Enfamous.1995LX

Ohh alright so what should I do? Swap the head to a b1 or just tune up the b2

elliascool

you should get a b1 head and get it on . running frankenstien blocks is weird ... and idk if they are much good then later get your engine good and boosted, or swap in a h22a engine

Enfamous.1995LX

Alright but is it true the b2 packs a little more power then the b1

gogydm

No, B2 is 130hp and the B1 is 145hp and more torque too.

elliascool

yea i have the f22b2 its weaker than the f22b1 and as u know b1 has vtec

f22b1:
Max power: 145 hp (108 kW) @ 5500 rpm
Max torque: 147 ft·lbf (199 N m) @ 4500 rpm
f22b2:
Max power: 130 hp (97 kW) @ 5300 rpm
Max torque: 139 ft·lbf (188 N m) @ 4200 rpm

i wish i had the b1 :/

BTW: all this b1 b2 talk made me think .... i looked at my block and it only says F22b on it .... my last engine ik it said f22b2 i got a new engine swaped in a year or two back by a friend of a friend hah ... and all this diff heads on diff blocks talk made me wonder if im runing the prelude si f22b block ... with a f22b2 head?!?!

GhostAccord

Could be, however, I doubt it. There are 3 variants of the JDM F22B. The Japanese blocks do not use the 6 digit engine codes.

JDM SOHC Non VTEC F22B = USDM F22B2
JDM SOHC VTEC F22B = USDM F22B1
JDM DOHC Non VTEC F22B = No identical USDM (similar to the H23)

you probably have a Non VTEC SOHC JDM F22B.

elliascool

ahh so my engine is imported ? haha and i looked at the prelude block .. looks identical to mine O_o idk if it looks alot like the f22b2 block or wat ....

GhostAccord

More than likely.

The USDM Prelude Si is powered by a DOHC non VTEC H23A1. The Only USDM SOHC Prelude with an F series was the Prelude S. It was powered by the Non VTEC F22A1. The H23 and F22 have very similar block design. They share a lot of internal components as well.

All USDM Honda and Acura blocks use a 6 digit engine code, H22A1, H23A1, F22B2, F22A6, B18C1, D15Y7 etc etc.....

elliascool

yea i know that but all those ppl who do those frankenstien blocks ... is beyond me .. plus you never know what you get from other ppl until you really look at it ... i guess i am just wishing it was the prelude 1 so i can put the prelude dohc head on it to .. rather have the prelude than the accord but if not at least a prelude engine swap .and just to put my mind at ease the slight chance this noob mechanic which ill tell you he really was.... how would ik if it is the prelude block or not??

gogydm

You definitely have a JDM engine but there is no way to tell which head your block had originally.

Enfamous.1995LX

Alright so how much would it be to swap the b2 to a b1 or a head period

gogydm

Well whatever price you find the head for.

Enfamous.1995LX

What's a common price

gogydm

Dude I seriously have no idea, I just picked up a F22B2 for a little project build with 150k for $120 bucks. I am guessing that the head would be about $80-$100, you can get an H22 (much more desirable amongst tuners) for about $250-$300.

holmesnmanny

I don't really understand the confusion. You have a f22b1 block which only comes on the USDM vtec engines. However, the head is obviously from something else.

holmesnmanny

There should be a casting number on the head which will indicate what it's from.

GhostAccord

Well she's definitely a SOHC and more than likely an F series so.......

P0B = F22B2
PT3 = F22A1-6

Based on the picture that you posted I'd say it's a B2

Enfamous.1995LX

Hmm....I know I could swap but the beefy *** sound with b1 block with theb2 head

Enfamous.1995LX

Dum dum dum...I return 3 months later well from then til now I learned a lot of stuff I ended up buying a b1 head got it on but the fuel pump is corresponding I don't hear it when I turn the key & not to mention I'm not getting any spark can anyone help

mudpuppy4life

its the TEC dizzy i can see the coil

jwicecold

WEIRD.... Did you buy the car like taht or did someone you know swap the head?? That is defiantly a Vtec block with a non-vtec head. Due to someone swapping the heads.
