you can do a vtec head swap to a non vtec bottom end?

thanks for 338000 miles its in great shape its got rust in the quarter that's bubbled up and the windshield is cracked but that's a problem being fixed this weekend and yea the f22b can fit h series parts just got to swap heads and do a few things like a piston and crank for a better compression idk if the other f series are the same

Yes you can use the VTEC head from many different engins; F22B1 VTEC, F23A VTEC, H23A1 VTEC, F20B VTEC and H22A VTEC. There are a few things you need to swap over and add but it has been done many times.

A key thing to remember is that you have to remove the oil control orifice from the non VTEC block in order for oil to flow freely into the swapped VTEC head. Just thought that I would throw that out there!

VTEC headswaps are notoriously unreliable. The SOHC VTEC heads offer very little gain over the non-VTEC F22A head (5-10hp tops.) DOHC VTEC heads will be wasted, due to the block's low-compression and low redline. Not to mention the blocked off oil passages, the mismatched head gasket, the mismatched bore and combustion chamber diameter... The only good reason to do a VTEC headswap is if you have a bunch of spare parts laying around, and you want to play Dr Frankenstein. If you actually want the engine to last, and you want proper performance from it, go with a matched block and head.

Now you can go ahead and delete this thread for being "not helpful".

I would recommend to you- modify your attitude- before modifying that car. You can always talk about your plans- but realize- you are doing it in public, and everyone has an opinion.

A lot of what you want to know is here, and search-able. But everything Deeve said to you is true, technically.

This is a thread about your ride, and if you want to swap it- do what real enthusiasts do, and research.
