edit: Its VTEC not vtech(they make phones)

sorry I couldn't resist :-/

As for the motive for the swap, I think it's because he wants "vtech"

j/k, j/k....
ok, to be serious now,
Delga, if I were you I would do the h22a swap. I'm estimating it's gonna cost you about 1000 to 1500 more, depending on whether or not you got that engine for free. I've not done it myself, but I plan to sometime this year. Technically the swap should give you no problems as long as you know what you're doing...I think

Welcome aboard...dont let the flaming get to you its only the begining and everyone gets their fair share.. As far as possible issues you are going to run into. First you need to choose your engine if you are set on a 5th gen SOHC VTEC you shouldnt see too many issues. i believe its a direct swap you may need a new ecu though for the VTEC to engage properly. good luck with whatever swap you go with and any issues, and thats what H-T is for...
