So I changed my head gasket and decided to have my head cleaned. Well come to find out I had a small crack in the head. So I found a nice f22b1 on Craig's List for $200. So long story short I swapped the engines.

Here are step by step pics and problems I encountered.

 

K1llaturtl3 you may want to fix the title before the trolling commences. It's VTEC not vtech(electronics company)

VTEC


VTECH

 

lol thanks

 

This first image is the engine.



Lets start with the mole hills...



The first problem I ran into was the relocation of the throttle hanger. As you can see in the image I simply flipped it and held it in place with one bolt.


Next is the fuel line it will need to be lengthened about 12 inches and ran behind the intake manifold.


Next I ran into the fuel rail not bolting to the injector wiring harness rail thing (?). I zip tied mine for now.


The exhaust does not match up, because the vtec comes to two pipes and the f22a is a single.



steering pumps mount matches up for the most part but there is an arm that would bolt to the head; on the vtec there is no hole for the bolt


The IACV is located on the back of the intake, so the two wires need to be spliced and lengthened.


The vacuum hoses also need to be lengthened


And the pipe located on the back of the block needs to be swapped out with the vtec's.
