ok, i want to put a newer engine into my car, i just don't want to dump a **** load of money and time into a H22 swap. So i was thinking of finding a Vtec motor that will fit easily into my car. And should i get a new tranny while im swapping the motor out.

I hate to be needy but anyone have suggestions as to where to find a motor in chicagoland?

 

if you dont want the h22

you can do

f22 dohc non vtec
h23 dohc non vtec same as the f22
f22b1 sohc vtec
h22 dohc vtec

 

btw all are direct bolt ins

 

if your block is good you can put on the f22b dohc,h23 as a direct bolt on and the h22 head with minor mods. the h23 woulds give most tq and the h22 more hp, higher rpm range and vtec. and u could spend anywhere from 300-600 for a full head swap including ecu if u do it urself.

 

the f22b1 looks like my best bet, this car is a daily driver and i don't want to blow my wad on wanting to do preformance upgrades all the time if i get the H22, and with gas going up it looks like a good investment.

im going up to carquest, napa, and autozone to see how much a rebuilt one will cost.

Don't forget the f20a (both DOHC and SOHC) fits in 4g accords as well. It was the original 2.0Si motor. They can be hard to find, but when you do find them they usually aren't too pricey.

 

I've been thinking and could i get the f22b1 block and put the h22 head on it and DOHC, or would it be easier just to get a h22/h23

 

buy my f20a from me (sohc) 40,000 miles

What would these minor mods be.

isnt that 3rd gen??? dont post info like that to confuse an already confused person with more engine options, when this one would not make sense to put in a 4th gen at all

Nope, the f20a came out of a 4th gen. Yes, it makes plenty of sense. Actually it's probably a much easier swap than all these frankenstien motors that keep coming up.
