h22a is pretty much common knowledge. I doubt you're gonna swap in a b16.

But personally, I'd just boost the f22b1.

You guys are stupid. Why would you replace a 4cyl with another 4cyl? If I were you, I'd find myself a good Ford 302 and drop that baby in.

You can drop the H22 in with no problem a few wires and stock motor mounts from the accord and prelude and as far as the axles you would use the stock accord axles.

Check out h22a.org or hondasociety.com

ehhh... yeah but its more expesnive than the H22a and has less power. no point really.

H22a buddy. If you really wanted to spend the extra moeny for some odd reason then track down a H23a1. VTEC version of the H23.

No. An H23A1 is the US Prelude Si engine. Your talking about a JDM H23A. You could also go with H22A7 or H22A Type S but none these offers any cost=performance benefits.

VTEC not VTECH. VTECH = my model of cordless phone.

Boost the shyt out of the F22 or just do the H22.

Looks like we have a winner.....thanx for the help. Now to address the question of the axles. Will the stock axles work, cuz a friend of mine today also told me i might have to replace them?
