F22 vs H22

[WP'sFinest]

Ok I have read a couple things on f22's and h22's and was just wondering what you guys thought. I originally wanted to do an h22 swap but now am thinking of converting my auto to 5 speed and getting a turbo. Would the conversion be difficult and what do you guys suggest? F22 or H22?

add a poll to thisthe results would be easier for you in the end

Honestly, it has absolutely nothing to do with what we think. YOU need to do the research and determine which route is within your abilities.

Neither, lol, I personally am in love with the JDM f22b DOHC, not because i have one,(not the only reason lol). This would give you the easiest install, because depending on the H22 you get youll need to wire up some things like the Vtec and knock sensor, as well as some motor mounts. the f22b is almost a direct fit, as you only have to mod the trans to fit the mount by drilling and tapping out a unused bolt hole in the casing, and put the stud from the old tranny in the new, if your just swapping the block this wont have to be done, this is among other things that need to done, like swapping the fuel rail as JDM cars have the fuel line coming to other side because of the RHD, there is a full write up on here in the swaps section. this engine is as easy to boost as the F22Ax because of its sleeves, H22 would require resleeving which isnt cheap.

Honestly half maybe more than half Honda/Acura owners that race/tune/mod their cars dont know what a F22AX is or is capable of......the auto to 5spd and turbo is the easiest way to see true potential out of the F22 Single cam....plp will ask to see ur engine....once you pop the hood they wont know what it is all they'll say is "Vtec?"....the H22 is a good one also not saying its a bad choice of motor but a lil in the expensive side....u decide to spend money to swap when with th same amount you can built & boost the F22...all that money on the H and you dont have anything left over for performance build....do you understand...i got a big headache and i cant keep my head str8....

change the 5 speed over to a better ratio transmission aka h23, h22 or changet he ring and pinion in the f22.

the ratio kills the accord.

So how easy is an H23 then? Similar to F22b, or somewhere between the two?

[deevergote]

"Easy" may mean different things to different people. Look up the instructions on how to do it, and decide for yourself. Since you have to ask, I'd be willing to bet that it's too difficult for you.

[Gsquat]

I'll be the first to tell you it's too difficult for me. I was asking knowing that I'll have to pay to have it done. You'll pay less/more for easier/harder. Thats why I was asking.

[deevergote]

H23 swap = H22 swap - VTEC wiring.

F22B bolts right in.

[Gsquat]

Awesome. Thanks. More reason for me to go F22b.

sohc on boost is nice. depending on your mechanical skills the 5spd conversion can be done in a few hours. run about 10psi and you should get about 230ish wheel hp.

H swap also depends on mechanical skills. can be done in a day or less. h22 requires pin swap for the ecu and running a few wires for vtec to work and for the knock sensor.

do you research before attemping anything. ask questions, there are alot of people on the board willing to help. check out the DIY threads pleanty of info there.

Thanks man but when you say 5 speed conversion can be done in a few hours, what trans do you mean?

[accordkid16]

a 5 speed swap shouldn't be to hard with a little knowlege and use of the diy auto to 5spd in the diy section...just get a buddy to help you..then peice together a turbo...or if you want all motor just get the h22...which i believe would be more expensive but don't take my word on that

[WP'sFinest]

Yeah I believe Im wanting to just turbo my F22 eventually, but wanted to do the 5 speed conversion first. I work at a salvage yard and was told by a friend that we had a Prelude slap shift trans.
