can i put a h22 head on my jdm F22b? i know you can do it to a h23 and just slap on the head but how about the f22b? anyone know?

Check out Schwett's thread about this same type of info...and no, the H23 head won't just slap on, machine work needs to be done.

no no i wanted to ask if the h22 head would fit the F22b. they both are 2.2L dohc. i mean i know i would need to do some machine work but would it be cost worthy? and what kind of power should i get form a swap like that

The H22 head has been put on the H23 block, so the H22 head, should fit on the F22b block as well.

bore size is different on the head vs the block...don't know how well it would seal...if at all...

The F22B is a different bore size?

I was under the impression that the f22b was basically the same thing as the h23a with slightly less displacement and torque...

But thats talking about the dohc non-vtec f22b that is... not the sohc vtec.. interestingly, both 160hp.

hhhmmmmm i might sell my old h23 motor and by a h22 head and see what i can do. i think i would be the first person to ever do this swap if i do do it..........

To be unique!

Thats what im guessing... sort of like when I wanted to get the jdm h23a vtec.

Good luck with the swap if you ever do it.

OSOFAST10 · 05-20-2003, 05:44 AM

well i do want to be unique, but if being unique gives me no real power then being unique is not something i want. the reason i ask the question is cause so many people get so much power out of h23-vtec that i though and still do think that i can get the same power out of a f22B-vtec. i guess if anyone knows the answer feel free to let me know if this is even worth a try. thanks

If you want to be truly unique, put a B18C engine into your car, and call it a day...you'll still be JDM, and very unique.

But..but...

He'll be torqueless!

OSOFAST10 · 05-21-2003, 06:04 AM

all joking aside ... could a type-r motor fit in the lude and if so how would it run? givin i would have no torque but how fast could i be?

SLICK96 · 05-21-2003, 01:36 PM

I don't know man, that was just a joke (I'm a BIG smart@$$). I think somebody SERIOUSLY asked this question a few months ago, and got flamed. You'd go nowhere fast. Those motors work well for little, lightweight cars, but for our Honda land-yachts, they wouldn't pull the load too well.

OH.... got ya. thanks for not flamin people
