Ok i am looking to maybe buy a JDM f22b(from a prelude which is a 160hp DOHC NON-VTEC) just to be diffrent and then turbo it out. But this motor is hard to find. So my question is does anyone know of any dealers online or any sites of where to go or etc. B/c i want to start comparing prices and find out where i am going to buy it from. Also below are some links to sites about this motor b/c i know everyone might be thinking... oh i thought that was the 5th gen accord motor? well.... here are some links to make it easier.

Why not just use a H23 from a US Prelude. It would be far easier to find and cheaper.

 

Nad auto out of norcross, Georgia has them for $700. That is where i got mine from and it runs great and is in great shape.

 

'just to be different' i hate that expression

performance modifications are about doing whats best, best for your budget and best for performance

 

It's not like the H23 has any obvious performance gains over the jdm f22 DOHC. Just answer his questions and stop throwing your elitist propaganda onto everyone. Christ!

By the way, the JDM F22 is a very nice engine, I've seen them built before, they are just as good as an H23, and way cheaper.

 

1150 for the motor shipped:
6 month warrenty for internal parts, under normal use!

Displacement, is that not a benefit?

Elitist propaganda? Its called common sense, there are mysteries about this motor, info is not as common as there is for the h23 and the h22. Info is harder to find, and there is infinite more knowledge about the h23 and h22 compared to the f22b dohc, real world experience, not arm chair mechanics

why anyone would swap in an h23 or f22b dohc into a 5th gen accord is beyond my comprehension, everyone seems to be getting swap happy, the f22b1, a1, a4 etc is a great motor when turbocharged or even NA, unless extreme power levels are sought, then a swap is no longer my recommendation for an accord, there are too many people doing great things with F's now to just throw it away, that doesnt mean the f22b is a bad motor, neither is the h23 or h22, but the F isnt junk

Amen to that! Sticking with the F22 would be the best thing. The reason why the F22 hasn't been developed until now is because everyone thought it was best just to swap in an H22. But now people like me have started to see the real potential of the F22. I may not currently have the funds to fully exploit the motor, it still has more potential than people give it credit for.

 

True that. The fastest Accord in the U.S has an F22 in it, with custom turbo.

 

um, people are saying that they are now realizing that the f22 has potential. Any motor, with the right stuff and money can have potential, and people are picking the h22 just becuase it has all of that extra potential straight outa the box. With the f22, it would take just as much money to get to the same amount of power that the h22 already has. And now that the majority of accords with f-series engines mostly have high mileage, why not get an engine with a lot less miles.

 

and that's the dilemma I'm in right now, getting close to having enough cash for an h22 but reading all these posts makes me wanna keep my f22

 

props to all of you f22 supporters... i just wish i could have done up some more research and turboed my motor. oh well... always been an all motor guy myself.

 

$700 for a JDM F22B is a little too much I think... I can get them over here in Cali for about 450-500.
Sorry I can't provide a site but its a junk yard that sells them (YLM)

 

jdm f22b exhaust ports line up with 1 and 2g DSM turbo manifolds, thats why most people get it, so they can do the junkyard turbo setup. it is a sister engine to the prelude, they are in ludes in japan.

over here in cali they can be had for 1000 installed.

 

What part of Cali can you find the F22b DOHC long blocks non-Vtec for 450 - 500? I live in SoCal and I would like to swap out mine for one with lesser miles.

Does these motors come with the ECU or will that be separate? Lastly, where can I find a F22B for a resonable price? I want to swap out my F22a [img]C:\Documents and Settings\SDOLPHIN\My Documents\My Pictures\93 Accord Engine.jpg[/img]

 

Hey, I was about to spend $795 shipped for a F22B...Please let me know where you get yours. Supply a phone number or something to that yard you get em for $500 or less. Please let the rest of know. I'm tired of the nut riding H22 guys that don't believe that you can F up an Accord and spank that *** on the highway or streets. My email is explicitsnow@yahoo.com . Please send me the phone number.

There were once mysteries about the original f22 as well...until it was finally understood, the h22 was the best choice and the most "logical step towards performance"...now, the f22 is the next big trend...why would you criticize someone else's desire to progress the accord family's knowledge towards these unknown mystery motors...in my opinion, it'd be great...even if it doesn't turn out well, at least we will have a better understanding of what this motor is truly like...

why is that???one of the most powerful accords on this forum is powered by an h23...and also, why are you ragging on some of honda's most tourquey motors in the first place...

 

I have a turbo F22 and i love it, but some people want a little more power than what ther F series can support with minor mods. They swap cause they dont trust FI and would rather pay a lil more for reliability. I can understand why someone would wanna swap out their motor.

 

Hey man
I feel your pain, I am in a similar position with similarly mysterious engine.
I am the proud owner of an F20b (VTEC & DOHC & BLUETOPPED) which came in
UKDM & JDM Accord SiR s.

I'll admit that untill this thread popped up I thought all F22s were SOHC.

As my name says I drive a Cvic, which are very commonly propelled through
space with B series engines. When I decided to go with a larger engine there were a lot of nay-sayers, and there still are.

Well what it boils down to is what do YOU want to do? Your spending the money, your doing the work and your driving the finished product.
