Ok, I see you're a trial user, and most likely a noob considering the type of question you asked. You really should google search any questions that you may have before you post because most likely you will find an answer in the vast world of the Internet.

The F23 (if I'm not mistaking) came in the 6th gen Accord, so if you really wanted to install it in your car, it's going to require more work, parts, and $$$$ since it's OBD2 and your car is OBD1, and considering the performance you would get out of an F23, you might as well just stick to the F22. And you're probably saying to yourself "But it's vtec! I want vtec!" If you knew a thing or two on how vtec works, you will know that the vtec on Honda's single cam engines works differently than it does on its DOHC engines. Without going into further details, the vtec on the F23 is nothing special (at least nothing to brag about).

The D16 is a Civic single cam engine. It's going to require even more work since you would have to modify the engine bay to make it bolt in, which is a lot of work, not worth it if you ask me. Like I said before, the vtec is nothing to brag about on this engine.

If you want to upgrade and get "vtec", the most common option is the H22. But if money is an issue, you probably shouldn't.

If you're short on cash, your best option would probably be to visit a junkyard and pick up an F22 from another 4th gen Accord, since you won't need anything but engine and just swap the old one out. Should be able to get it for only a couple hundred dollars.

I didn't give you too much detail on everything. You should read and learn about your car, what is compatible, and what you can do to it. You should also learn about other cars to expand your knowledge. Google is a great resource. Use it.

 

the f23 will be the easiest swap of the 3. it will bolt up to your transmission, it will require the manifolds from an obd1 f22b1 or f22b2, and the computer from a an f22b vtec engine from 94-95. the timing belt side mount might take alittle bit of tweaking as well.

the d16 will be a HUGE step down in power, will require complete custom (as in you make them and figure it out) mounts, custom axles as well, you will have an engine that is so underpowered for the size of the car it will be super slow to drive. the b18 would be better, but again same issue with mounts and axles.

you should probably take more time to read and learn...

 

I just got a good deal on a f23 vtec at foreign engines, it bolts right in and you can use all the 1994 honda accord stuff(dizzy, ecu, v-tec wires)

 

Aight thanx as far as the question is concerned i had 3 ppl throwing motors at me so i figured id ask.. at the honda game i am a noob before now onlything i toyed around with was hotrods( last major build wad a 80 elcamino with 383 stroker) im not a big fan of vtec either i can build a non vtec block stroke it out with a bigger cam n outrun vtecs all day i was just a little curious.. i already have a H22 on its way from japan thanx for the info btw

 

Get the f23 and throw your f22 head on. It's a slight bump in compression and requires no fancy work to complete

 

Besides, a 1.6L is torqueless. You're downgrading from a 2.2L, and Honda put these F22 in the Accords for a reason!

 

No real fancy work, however, don't forget to install an oil control orifice in the block if you plan to go with a Non-VTEC cylinder head. You can get one out of any F22A1-6 or F22B2 block.

 

That can go both ways and I dont think you can stroke a f22 or it wouldnt be worth it. Vtec has its places and its uses, You said your not a fan of vtec and yet you went H22.....

 

I saw the VTEC comment and chuckled a little bit...

There are a few 97mm & 100mm stroked F22's out there. However, most of them are track engines with 7-10k+ invested.

 

ill just go a completely different route.. i ordered a h22 im keeping my tranny and stroking the block....

 

Your going to waste alot of money "stroking" a H22 for very little gains.. Just do a G23 if you want more TQ or a H23A..

This isnt the V8 world and alot of the rules that work there wont work on a Honda or are not worth it.
