I like my F22B1.

I liked it when it was in my 95 EX and had plans on putting it into a 92-95 Civic Si hatchback with a D series tranny.

It all depends on the person. I'm not someone who needs gobs of horsepower so... What one person likes doesn't mean the next will, and it doesn't really matter since it's your car. If you like it, keep it... if not, save for a swap and swap it.

There is nothing wrong with having a F22B1 though.

 

I like it a whole lot when I go to the gas station to fill up and get 31.5 MPG on the interstate driving.

I did not like it when I had H22A Prelude, going to the gas station and getting 25-27MPG and had to fill up with PREMIUM gas. (I LOVE preludes though )

 

well my car wont go over 5000 rpm bcuz my vtec is not hooked up so i have no idea on the power of the engine so it has me in the dumps

 

it should still go over 5,000 rpm just wouldn't have much power in that area, it could be another problem. the v-tec on those engines is weak so its only like another 10 HP anyway but you can fix tha v-tec with a correct ecu and rewire it. or be ghetto fab and use a toggle switch. even the f22b1 motor can be really fast...with turbo. it sounds expensive, but headers, cai, exhaust all add up to about the same price as a small turbo set-up you just would need someone to install it

 

One of the greatest engines evar made imo, look up Bisimoto:

9.80 second pass - non vtec

ok kool that makes me feel alot better..is it hard to get like 160hp out of the engine? cuz i had a rx7 with 146hp and it was really fun to drive..so i have more then 145hp and 130ft tq ill be happy

 

boost that s.o.b and let the fun begin !!!!!!!!
turbo will wake that mo fo right up ... but just like whats sd above mild turbo ~7lbs or so will = a **** load of fun !!!!

taht was on intecs dyno fat boy..there dyno reads high..we all know this right????

anyway to the OP your car NA with limited budget will never be anything fast...have fun racing D15s and the like..anyway there is nothing at all wrong wit hthe motor that is in your car....get you vtec hooked up hard..there is a "how to" in the FAQ....the motor are great, they get good gas milage, love boost, and run forever stock..my girl had 207xxx on hers before she hydro locked it...also there is the potential of turboing it which is always fun...dont rape it til;l you get you vtec wiring hooked up, taking it as high as it will go will only get you breaking, bending, effinfg it up........


Oh and if it nmakes you feel any better....I took out a H22 to put a F22b1 back in

 

thats what I just said.........and not acting like a ***, *** jsut returning the favor...calll me later I got a new phone

 

I'm happy with my f22b1. I was thinkin about doin a h22 swap but decided not cause my f is still runnin strong

 

all these relplys make feel alot better about my engine..the guy i bought the car from said he rebuilt the head and the block so idk...i just wanna get the vtec hooked up so i can actually see what the engine is like.. i just dont have the knowledge on how to do it..the guy i bought the car from said he is gunna hook it up for me so hopefully he does..thanks
