head swap

[jnice]

I was wondering if anybody can send me the link for the f22a1 to f22b1 head swap,my cousin needed help doing it and i would like to read on it before i help him..I tried explaining that it is pointless but he insists on having vtec.thanks in advance

I tried explaining that it is pointless but he insists on having vtec.

He should listen to you.

The F22a head flows better.
The F22b "vtec" is fucking useless for performance. It's not for power, it for fuel economy.

[deevergote]

I don't think there is a DIY thread for it... because it's absolutely useless.

Tell him to look up DarkCloud's F22B1 swap DIY (it's a "sticky" in the Swaps section) for all wiring issues. Most of the wiring will be associated with the head.

As for mounting it to the block, tell him to compare head gaskets, and he'll see the differences, if there are any.


Another victim of the VTEC gimmick. Sad
Tell him that since he absolutely MUST have VTEC, that you'll take that F22A head off his hands for him! Put a little money into it, and you can have a hell of a head built from it.

Make your own thread. This has NOTHING to do with your car or your engine. Please do not change the subject of someone else's thread. That will get you banned very quickly.

my main question about this swap is what head gasket i should use..

[chessboxer]

No one is sure because not many people are dumb enough to do the swap.

My guess would be the f22b1 head gasket, but then again, I don't know, as I have never been an advocate of doing performance decreasing mods.

[chrischhorn]

like everyone else is saying.....if i were you, i would just sell that head and try to get as much out of it as possible and try to get another f22a head. They are only like $40 these days...

[GhostAccord]

Here is a link to the B1 swap for ya! Tell him that if he wants a little more power out of that grocery getting VTEC. He will have to spend $300 and upgrade to a F22V cam from F22parts. No valve train upgrade necessary for that cam. Or he could move up to a $350 cam + springs & retainers and try the VTEC level 2 from Bisi.

[chessboxer]

Or spend 100 on a delta 272 and make more power with the f22a is another option!

[jnice]

i appreciate the feedback,I called bisi and he said it would be the f22b1 head gasket.Ill just have to run him with my non vtec and prove the point wasted money

[deevergote]

At least YOU understand that it's pointless... it's a shame your friend isn't as bright.

[GhostAccord]

Remember that if your talking stock vs stock or engines with equal bolt-on mods. The non VTEC F22A6 will just run equal to a stock F22B1. It's only once you open up the intake ports & valves that the F22A may run the F22B1. Not trying to start shyte, just being realistic.

Healthy F22A1 = 125 hp
Healthy F22A6 = 140 hp
Healthy F22B1 = 145 hp

[deevergote]

Very true. Stock vs. Stock, the F22B1 is the more powerful engine.

However, I'd be much more supportive of a full F22B1 swap than a headswap. At least then you can expect it to be reliable, which is one of the two strengths of the F22B1...
