h22, same valve cover

 

i think your wrong on the dizzy i just ordered a dizzy cap and i had to use the f23 dizzy cap isnt the h22 external coil? cause at first i ordered the h22 doesnt work then got the f23 same exact as the f20b

 

f23, b16a2, 92-00 d-series f20b, all the same cap

 

i have an obd1 internal coil dizzy on my f20b

 

f

 

The piston pin is 22mm not 23mm.

Does anyone have pictures of the rods?

 

How much smaller are the valves on these? Would 1mm oversized make up the difference like a normal H22 Valve.

Or would this block with a H22 head make a good combo with the F20B cams and H22 Intake manifold/Throttle body?

Are the H22 and F20 heads same combustion chamber specs that the compression ratio would stay the same if the heads were swapped?

I know the cc size of an H22 is 87mm are the F20 85 or 86mm?
Maybe the F20B head would make a great head for the F23block/H head - G23 build.

Sorry for alot of questions but this is good thread.

 

recommend f20b over h23 or h22 for f23a1 swap?

 

up for sauseja i wanna know also on the f20b block and h22 head combo, been tring to research it and no luck

 

so the f20b timing belt has 156 teeth and the h22 has 155. Using a H22 is fine? It won't throw the timing off or slip off? Noob to this trying to do an f2b swap.

Youll be fine, its just a little tighter to get on

 

thanx. And also if your doing an f2b do you need a resistor box?

no f20b injectors don't need a resistor box

 

how do these handle boost on stock compoents???

 

i would say it should be close to a ITR

 

so since they are iron sleeves does that mean if i swap out the pistons and rods i can run like 20 pounds of boost? Cause when you sleeve a b series your basically putting iron sleeves on it right?

Its a little different. Honda blocks are almost all open deck blocks. This means the sleeves "float" in coolant. When you sleeve you not only use iron but they reinforce the cylinder in the quench area. Ive seen 20+psi on stock sleeves but I wouldn't do it personally.

 

can the h22a header and throttle body fit the f20b engine

 

yes, the header and tb from an h22 will work. as well as any other h22 parts such as cams intake manifold fuel rail, etc

 

so y is it that many people have told me that the header and other parts wont fit. its only some things

I would consider it an H and only parts that would be like an F would be in the bottom end. Mounts and complete head are like the H.

 

So if the f20b is one tooth longer. What belt do you use when you convert to manual tension? Wouldn't you use a h23 timeing belt there shouldn't be anything special about the way its made or material? And what is the length of a h23 belt? since its not posted yet?

h23 and h22 are the same. The one tooth shorter wont hurt you. Everyone I know that did a manual on their f20b used a h22 belt and hasnt had a problem
