Im in the process of building my f22b1 block for boost (400+whp). My delemma is this, Do I send my current B1(sohc vtec) out to get larger valves, springs and cam work done OR do i do i turn this into a G22swap (h22 head on f22 block)?
If i got a h22 head, i would put cams, stock sized valves and new seals.

<U>Currently have the following:</U>

F22b1 w/ Darton sleeves and a closed deck by ERL Performance
Wiesco 8:8:1 pistons w/ wiesco rings
Crower Steel Billet Rods
ACL Rod and Main bearings
Balanced Rods, Pistons, and Crank
ARP Main and head bolts
H23 Venom Intake manifold
Stainless Turbo Manifold
Precision sc61 turbo

Suggestions on a direction to go would be appreciated. I understand that my Intake and Exhaust manifolds will be useless.

 

It seems like you have almost everything you need for a f22 build so i would stick with that so you dont need to get new new manifolds. And if you have a sohc vtec already then i would stick with that since you have all the turbo stuff already. Thats a tricky question tho im sure either set up will be nice once its done.

 

Stick with what you have. expletive vtec. Nah seriously, if i were where you're at - i'd stay there.

 

i would doa h22 head =]

a h22 head would outflow a sohc in a boost aplication, but that is a tough call.. i would kill to have the block u have and then drop my h22 head on it, technically if my f block ever gives out i may just do what you have.. but either way the community is here to help. i vote +1 h22

edit: your pics above are kind of misleading lol, its a built F block sitting on a board that says H-series. lol

BTW what did the build block run you?

edit:#2 you also might think about using a h23 head, you could keep your intake and exhaust manifolds and gain a dohc head from it. plus turbo cams are availible for the h23 too i belive,

 

is it just me or does one of the cylinders have scrapes near the top of the sleeve?

So far, pistons and rods ran a little over $1300 and the block work w/ bearing and studs ran $1950

It looks that way in the pictures, but its really assembly lube from when i put in the pistons.
