Default F22 sohc non vtec... Should I put a F22 sohc vtec head on?

I recently acquired a f22 vtec head.
I was wondering what kinda power gains/etc would it make?

Yes i am searching, and looking around the web.
its hard to just find solid numbers.

If I remember correctly, I think someone did that here on H-T. Search through the archives.

according to http://www.accordinglydone.com...ies=F

the most difference will be about 10hp and 8 ft/lb of torque, which will equate to like maybe 5 hp and 5 trq at the wheels

i would say if you have the head for free, you have the ecu for free, and have too much time on you hands then do it,

i think a good way would be to mill the head a **** load to bring your compression up fromthe stock 8.8, but doesn't seem worth it to me,

also look into putting a h23 head on there, i didcuss this in my thread, very doable

thank you very much.

Ill consider the h23 idea.

let me read into it.

regarding your link...

So the best bet would be the F22B head swap...
I didnt know it was DOHC? is it vtec?

wo wo don't get your motors confused,

the "f22b" is the jdm motor that came in the preludes and was a dohc non vtec,
the f22b2 b1 a1 ax are all sohc motors,

if you find a f22b1 head which is the sohc vtec then you can swap that on.
