questions for h22 or h23 swap to f22b block and ecu
I read thru the FAQ first of all, and I just have some questions. I tried to PM the OP of the faq but he doesnt come on anymore.
My goal is for an easier engine for a turbo.. since no one makes f22b manifolds, i decided to go with a DSM one. I was told the DSM only fits on h22a heads or f22a heads.
Anyways, since the h22 or h23 is DOHC ( correct me if im wrong) how do you go about doing the timing belt? Do you use the h22 one? I did read about the changing of the gears in the water pump but thats confusing.
Also, which is easier to do, but still gain something? I don't really care if its dohc but i would like vtec.
What ecu should i run, the stock EX one for vtec? I also have an auto so that plays a factor too, I'll probably end up having to run AEM's FIC because i have to stay OBD2 for emissions.
When reading thru the FAQ, there seemed to be alot of stuff the guy did that I don't persoanlly understand. They said they had to make there own water pump.. why is that? What would happen if i didn't deck the block? would the car run like crap or would i be smashing valves?
Whats the deal with the water hoses? does the h23 match up with the f22b block
what headstuds should i use.. im assuming the h22 ones from ARP?
Basically, im just looking to be able to have some bolt on power and vtec, and then be able to turbo it... I'm just not sure which route to take.
