The f22b2 is a sohc set up from the factory? im new to the hondas and trying to figure out what i have.. the stamp on the block says f22b2 but my car is dohc non vtec... im being told its not original the way it came factory.. any info will be greatly appreciated...

 

If the block is stamped F22B2 that is a SOHC Non VTEC block. If you have a DOHC cylinder head that head has been swapped onto the block. If it said F22B on the block it could be a Non VTEC DOHC F series engine from Japan.

Are there any other markings on the cylinder head?

When you say your car is DOHC non VTEC I'm guessing that you are referring to the cylinder head. There were no DOHC Non VTEC Accords sold in the USDM.

 

im not sure of anyother marking i willlook in the next day or two and get back with you... where should i look for anyother marking other then the f22b2 stamp? thanks

 

Pics of said engine + block stamp..

 

Ill try to get those today if i get time before dark....

 

Yup, pics is a must; since, its sorta confusing. As mentioned before, the F22B2 comes in SOHC Non VTEC only here in the US. Otherwise, previous owner might've frankensteined it by using an H23A DOHC head.

 

i bet money that the cyl head is off an H23A1, which IS indeed a bolt on affair. comes from a 92-96 Prelude Si incase the OP was curious.

 

the block stamp f22b2.. the head

 

It's definitely a hybrid. Non VTEC DOHC head w/F22B2 block. I would guess an H23 head.

 

Lucky bast*** i wish my car came already hybrid. Hows the power??

 

i dunno, but from the sight of the ghetto rigged wiring.......

i would be rewiring some stuff asap before the car cuts off from that butt connector coming losing going into the dizzy

solder and shrink wrap are your friend.

 

Well for the power it pulls pretty hard bought it as it sits for 1000..... havent really drove it except a couple down and backs on the road i live on wit no tags...... that wiring is gonna be fixed before it get drove much.. i was told it was the tach signal comin off the dissy..... anyone know what kinda hp and tourque the hybrid makes??

 

yep thats def the H23A1 head. sorry to say but your not making much more than what you started as. maybe 5-10hp gain at the most. the H23A1 only had about 20 more hp than the F22B2. and most of it was not coming from the top end lol.

 

I figured it wasnt much of a gain.... but thanks for the info

 

Possibilities are there though.

 

First try to convert it to OBD1 for more tuning options then go get it dyno & tuned for maximum potential. One way to find out right?
