I wouldn't bother trying to put any B-series in there.

Swapping an H-series head onto an F block is not just some bolt on and go kind of thing, nor will it give you the gains you might be thinking of.

Just swap a complete H22.

this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, so don't listen to him...no tourque, swap would be harder/more custom than it's worth...

but to answer your original question, yes, you can do the h22 headswap onto the f22...there is some archived information on here about the swap...you won't see the same amount of power as the h22, but it's definitely worth the airflow gains...

Not really. Yes, the head will essentially just bolt up after blocking off oil passages in the head, but that's where the bolt-on part ends. He'd still have to rewire everything as he would a complete H22 swap, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to run a stock ecu, no matter who does it and says it's "fine". He'd also be running about 8.44:1 compression, which is lower than what the F22 runs already.

I've read all the write-ups before. I followed the original write ups on here as the members figured out every detail. I'm not trying to say that it's difficult. It's just that a lot of little things need to be taken care of for it to work correctly. To call this a bolt-on ordeal is oversimplifying the work involved.

thats well and good but with any sort of swap ecus should be transplanted as well as any vtec swap ull have wiring to do so no its not the"average" bolt on but it is very possible and very doable for any person who does the research and puts in the time hondabond is ur best friend lol

Like I already said,

I also should have phrased something differently... I don't think it would be wise to use <U>ANY</U> stock ecu.
