ok ok, I know that this is going to sound like such a noob question but, ok here it is: has anyone ever heard of a f22a1 with vtec? because it sounds like I do have vtec in my prelude. this is the second prelude that i have. The first one that I had, it had a h22 and this one is a f22a1, I have been researching and came up with not to many facts. if anyone wants to report me go ahead... i just want to know because i was just wounder becuase if it does have vtec. i might just keep the engine the way it is because it has vtec. and does anyone ever heard about making a honda engine have vtec? is it easy to do? thanks...

 

Nope , your f22a1 sohc isnt a vtec. I think an f22a in an accord might have it but not the base S model 92-96 prelude.

I know that it is a single overhead cam without vtec but is it possible that maybe the previous own did it or something like that?

 

Well thats just a korney thought right there

Maybe they swapped an accord motor in there. Hell i dont even know if thats possible though

 

If its an f series then i dont see y it wouldnt bolt up from an accord.

 

god I sound like an idiot!! vtec in a f22a1 you guys must think that I'm some dumbass huh?

 

misinformed, thats all.

p.s. If you had a vtec motor you would know.

i dunno i can feel the and hear the scream around 4-5000 rpms?... and my dad has a h22 and i have driven around in it and i just dunno?...maybe its just me....and it sounds nothing like my cousin's celica...i dunno maybe its just the honda enigne thats all huh?

 

open the hood and read the engine code, and take a look at the valve cover. or take apicture of your motr.

it is possible you have a f22 with sohc vtec,

but i thought that the prelude s only has sohc non-vtec??

 

where is the vtec solenoid located? can anyone post any pics?

 

He is saying it is possible previous owner swapped in an accord engine, never said that Preludes came with one.

 

like right behind the dizzy atleast thats where it is on a h22

bingo, also you motor could have secondary runners, some F series motors came with IABS, i think the f22a6 had secondary runners, someone could have swapped on a intake mani on to you stock motor, or even did a whole head transplant.

 

but is it possible for some one to put or make a honda enigne to have vtec? like a f22a1?

 

its not an accord engine, it has f22a1 on the engine code...

 

that pic is correct thats the vtec pressure switch circled in red on an h22 it looks like, it'd be in the same spot kinda put back more on the f's head.

anything is possible, but in the relm of this subject i would just settle that your car does not have vtec.

my car has an f22 in it, and i have vtec, but i put a vtec head on it, and it clearly sys VTEC on the valve cover.

 

dont confuse this dude with the hybrids that can be built

 

does anyone have a pic of the vtec solenoid? I found this guy who did it to his civc and he still has the soch head...? i dunno...ha! I really dont know anything...

the link you provided is a head swaping link, and is the equivelent of you having a sohc vtec head on there. it is possible to hav a sohc with vtec, but the f22a1 comes stock with a sohc non vtec motor. the only way you would have vtec is if someone swapped on a sohc vtec head from an accord.

 

/\ what he said.

i think that they did do that...i dunno though? would someone go though all that just to have vtec in a f22a1? i mean if some one were to do that, who much gain would it be? what like 4 hp?
