engine ?'s...

[LXi_tuner]

ok...i have 2 questions....
1-I have a 90 accord EX, and as many of you know it has the f22a4 in it, well i was debating on doing a f22b (jdm) swap into it...is the swap a direct fit?? and also, is this engine better N/A or boosted...
2-I also have a 88 accord LXi, and i have also been debating on doing a b20a 1st gen swap into it...now here is my second question, which swap would be more worth while??? i was thinking the f22a4-f22b would be better, but whats your opinions...
EDIT: also, i am low on funds, so keep that in mind..

[92ex]

f22b is a direct swap. Boosted is good

[SuperTuner12010]

Please dont put a B20 bastard child in it.Either F22a6 or youre F22b

that b20 is for the 88' cord

[ParoXoN]

Eh, the B20 wasn't a bad engine... But it really is inferior in almost every way to the f20a/bx series.

If you do go the f22a6 route, remember that you don't need to replace the whole engine. The intake manifold is the only thing afaik that differentiates the a6 from the a4.

[LXi_tuner]

the b20a was for the 88....
how much would a f22a6 run for, and is the f22a4 transy compatable to it??

[Dan89]

it's the same engine, only the header and intake are different

Edit: F22a4 and F22a6

[Accord13&BA4]

F22b is roughly $300.ish dollars.

many people tend to turbo it...why? because if it blows up, it's a cheap replacement.

Now the b20a for the Accord is rated @160HP....it's not the same as the b20aX series found in the 3rd gen Prelude. Those are the bastard childs...why? b/c they were first in line for the B series, F1 technology.

IMO, get the f22B...it's rated at 160hp and 140ishtq? --please correct me if im wrong...


good luck, lets us know what you do...

[LXi_tuner]

what parts on the f22a4 are cross-compatable on the f22b??

[Jarrett]

To correct some others the F22A6 differs also in the cam as well. And if you want to broaden the spectrum then all the '92-'93 Accords had an external coil as opposed to an internal coil. The F22A4 header is actually a little better than the A6 header but yes they are still different. Now as far as compatability with the F22B, most external accessories are. Your A4 header is, your intake manifold, the blocks are the same and so on. The distributor won't work though. You need either the distributor that comes with the F22B or use an H series distributor. Hope this helps.

i'll would sell you my f22a6 plus ECU and tranny for 350$ but im not allowed to sell anything in newb forums... so if you have "questions" about pricing PM me haha

[mistiso]

I have a question for you, whats the benefits of the f22b, whats the numbers on it?

[sleepycb7]

the f22b will make good tourqe. especially with boost.

[LXi_tuner]

can the f22a4 tranny bolt onto the f22b engine??
