Alright i have a f22b1 but i wanna get it in vtec. do i have to do a whole engine swap or can i change something. Thanks in advance

gogydm

The B1 is VTEC.

Enfamous.1995LX

sure cause its a stock engine...least i thought it was because it doesnt have the head

bdmlilburn

f22b1 is for sure vtec. what do you mean it doesnt have a head. i see you have a 95 lx. is the f22b1 in your car on sitting in your garage?
is it a short block-just the bottom half of the engine
or is it a long block-the bottom and top half

your previous statement has left me scratching my head

elliascool

yea this is the f22b1 they all have vtec .... only f22b2 doesnt have vtec

Thas why I'm confused cause on my engine block it says f22b1 but it has a stock head so that's why I'm super lost

PaPa_No~No

lx generally had a f22b2- non vtec.
save you money and do some homework there are many options
converting a f22b2 to a f22b1 ( idon't think you can ) would be pointless just to gain 20 hp

Oh man, you got a B1 block with a B2 head. What kind of ECU are you running? Yes, you don't have VTEC, you will need a B1 head.

Enfamous.1995LX

man I don't know lmao I bought it off some dude in LA he said it was giving him problems so I fixed it now I'm tryna figure out wth I got.

gogydm

Where are you located, you can stop by my house and we can take a look and compare if you want.

I live in the I.E.

gogydm

Ugh kinda far. But from what I can see, it is a B1 block with a B2 head. Is it external or internal coil?

Enfamous.1995LX

Internal coil

gogydm

So B1 dizzy then

Enfamous.1995LX

But I want a vtec so what would I go about doing?

gogydm

You can either get a B1 head, or get a H22 or F20B head and make a hybrid motor.

Enfamous.1995LX

What do you think would be a better choice?

gogydm

Well, if you want it to work stock then put a B1, you won't get much power out of it though. If you are looking for power, then a H22 head will be better. https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...&highlight=g22

Kinda looks like an external coil in that pic and I'm counting five wires going to the cap.

This is pretty much it, no wonder why it was such a headache.

The B1 in my accord has VTEC on the valve cover and i take it almost all B1's have VTEC on it.

Your cheapest, and probably best route would be to find a B1 head, and revert everything to stock.

Enfamous.1995LX

Alright quick school lesson. What's the difference between internal coil and external. And from a little research it shows if I keep the b2 I can add turbo etc. To it as too where the vtec is somewhat limited

bdmlilburn

how much money do you plan to spend. you need to check the condition of you engine before considering boost

Enfamous.1995LX

Well the engine isn't old its rarletively new I think its got less then 7Ok so thas wasting money on another engine. Then engine is in good shape though
