F22 VTEC for $250

[jae_rex]

Someone locally is selling a F22 VTEC motor from a 94 EX. Should I jump on this or put money into fixing the other bugs with the car i.e. electrical gremlins, lt fender, and suspension. It sounds good, but I need to get other things done as well. But for $250...what do you guys suggest? Current motor only has 80K on it, and 205K on the body.

Ok the motor ur talkin about is the F22B1, sohc Vtak,
Lots of people rather jus have a F22A6,

Then others like it, depends on what you wanna do with it.

If u want it for a DD then i suggest yes

F22B1's are really kinda pathetic as swaps go. Horsepower wise, they are only around 150 stock (5 more than an A6). If you have the cash, I would just set it aside and start a swap fund. H22's don't have to be $1800, just keep your eyes open and check around. I got mine off of craigslist for $500, with an ECU.

I've read that some people dont care for that motor to much i was gonna do one but then got deployed and saved a shit load of cash came back and bought the newest h22 i could find. I mean what are you looking for power or vtec?

[92cb7accord]

i'm currently running an F22B1 vtec and believe me its not worth it, feels just like an A6 and really isnt worth the swap. I didnt do my swap my car came with it. I suggest fixing your suspension as that is one of the most critical parts of your 16 year old car



edit: i noticed in your sig that you drive an S2k and a 96 SIR and an EG 1/4 car? how can you not afford to put money into your accord i mean with the money you obviously make/or somebody else makes can put an H22 in that car easily.?

[jae_rex]

Thanks for the replies. Actually there is another person locally selling a H22 swap for $800.00 motor only. Can I use the F22 tranny and axles from my 93 and modify the harness for the H22?

[deevergote]

Yes, you can. All of those details are in the sticky threads in the Swaps section.


And, for the record... the F22B1 is a piece of crap motor.

Correct me if im wrong, but i looked it up and i think the f22b is rated at 140Hp. The A6 is rated the same. My girl had a f22b and it wont keep up with my a4/a6. Then again, hers is auto....

Make sure you state F22B1. It will throw people off just mentioning f22b for some people. The JDM F22B is a different story.

[AllWhiteCoupe]

you mean like me? lol. I was so unimpressed with the motor, i never even looked at the the whole serial #.

[MikeW]

Yeah, id stay with ur a6 and just put money towards other stuff. That H22 sounds like a good deal.

Well with most of my funds go to the other rides, the CB was just meant to be a daily driver/winter beater. I only got it for $200 and some b series parts. But after finding this site, it inspired me to do a little more. I was possibly looking into the the EX bolt-ons and the Bisimoto stage I cam instead of the swap.

I was 5 off. the B1 is rated for 145 hp/ 147 tq. The A6 is rated for 140 Hp/142 tq.
