f22a1 cam f22b1

[axel272]

just out of curiosity wat would it do if i put my f22a1 cam in my f22b1 would it make a difference perfomance wise till i can get one from bisi

[1990SL0Cb7]

lol no. the f22b is a DOHC the f22a is a single.. keep it stock bro

[deevergote]

Ouch, my brain hurts.

The F22B1 is SOHC. VTEC. And no, you will gain absolutely nothing from installing a non-VTEC camshaft from an F22A on an F22B1. If it would even work, it would certainly not be of any benefit, at all. It may even cause damage. The camshaft isn't the issue anyway. It's the head itself. The F22A head is capable of flowing VERY well when modified, but the F22B1 head is quite cramped due to the crappy intake-only VTEC system. The ports are restricted, and the valve angles are poor.

ehh it was just an idea lol im not 2 fond of the b1 only reason i put in i got it for 300 after my last motor sucked up water.. 10 holes in the block and warped the head cant even get it off the old motor mifht need to see if i cant find me a head somewhere just not sure wich head i wanna go with

Unless you're planning on going extreme with the build, the F22B1 is just fine. If you want to make more than 250whp N/A with it, then the F22A would be the better choice (and you can always just pick up a spare to build on the side at your leisure.)

[axel272]

nah im not plannin on goin above 250whp with it i thought about doin that but im not sure i just wanted alitlle gain above wat it has now ive never really messed with imports 2 much im more used to the older cars lol any idea on wat the easiest way to buld it up some right now i dont have the vtec hooked up bc im waitin to get a computer for it right now im runnin off the stock it seems to do just fine just got the timing set up alil high im runnin msd coil and a short ram any ideas would help out and would be greatly appreaciated

Ive got a B2 head on the bench rite now, really dont understand why Honda bottleneck that head like they did, unless they wanted to create a higher velocity. I do like the EGR port access plate on the intake manifold though...

[Jarrett]

But it's a crappy intake manifold also.

Not if its painted yellow...

[pedroalcala]

An h23 manifold would be superb on the b1.... Trust me it fits, idk why people say it don't but it does, I've done it to a f22b1 that was in a prelude and it bolted up just fine....that'll be a good upgrade for your build

[SOHC-FTW]

If i recall correctly a while back there was a debate on oem cam's and the b2 is up to par if not better than the a6 cam IIRC GhostAccord stated this.
This was in regards to IBCNYA post not the op's.

It was done for efficiency. A bottleneck provides high velocity, and therefore good fuel mixture in the cylinders at low RPM. The F22B1 and F22B2 are very efficient, well-designed engines for their intended purposes. They just don't have an abundance of performance potential compared to the F22A (however, they aren't COMPLETELY worthless... they CAN make power with enough work... the F22A is just the better choice, especially in a CB7 that already comes with it!)

The B2 cam may have a better profile, but the head design is restrictive.
Can the B2 cam be used on an F22A? I know the B1 cam can't be used for obvious reasons, but I don't know about the B2.
