Deev isn't the only one here who can help you. Yes, he's one of the few that cares enough to speak sense to you instead of only answering your questions, but he's still not the only one. Asking for him by name is being ignorant to the fact that others can help you also.

You need to have either a mechanic or someone mechanically inclined to look at your car first to see what, if anything, is preventing your current engine from performing at 100%. Don't just assume that because your engine won't do a certain speed that it needs to be changed. That's an expensive proposal, especially for someone who won't be doing any of the work.

Do absolutely everything you can to read, read, read the swaps section of this site to familiarize yourself with the process. All of the answers you could possibly seek in regards to the process, difficultly and expense are in there.

Between the engines you have available, anyone here would get the H22. But that is not an engine code I recognize so more information is needed before I would tell you to consider either one.

i m sorry for the ignorant part,,,, i know that everyone here is so helpful,,,,and always have been helpful,,,i have been reading the swaps and general information from the last 3 hours, and somewhere i get lost,,,, i will put more details tomorrow,,and thanx for the reply everyone is welcome for the advice,as i have always learnt what a car is in real from cb7tuner.com

Quite a bit of work is involved in swapping an H22 engine into the 6th Gen 98 - 02 Accord. I'm going to assume that your Accord is the same as the USDM Accord of those years and provide you with this walkthru of the swap.

Some of the work this guy doing you won't have to, as he is using an OBD1 engine and the Type S is OBD2. So use it as a general guide of how much work you'll be getting.

thank you,,,i really appreciate that

what is meant by direct Vtec? the technician said that after installing F23B, the Vtec will work from the first gear,,,and Vtec will be connected directly,,,?what does that means?is it good or bad?

[Jarrett]

The inner workings of VTEC are more than I could thoroughly explain right here. The summarized explanation is that it uses a more aggressive camshaft profile after a designated rpm.

As for what your mechanic is telling you, the transmission has no direct relation with the operation of VTEC.

[saqi44]

thanx Jarrett, but what he said was that the Vtec will work from the start, it will not be related to RPM,,it will work when we will start the car,,,he is an arabic and it really sometime gets hard for me to communicate,,,i am scared,dont have too much money,will borrow from a friend and will put f23b along with clutch set ,,,, and obviously i will buy a water pump along with new timing belts,,,dont know what to do?

^^ Best advise right there.

Personally I would read for another month or three before making such major decisions like you are about to. Unless you have money to waste, then giver-er-pig

[saqi44]
