H's are just way too much dang money. I'm on a budget, not lookin to break the bank. To do an H swap I'm lookin at at LEAST 1500 bucks. I want something I can play around with and tweak and get power that way rather than just goin out and buyin what everyone else has. H22's are cool and all but too much "pesos".Comment

JDM H22A can be had for $840 shipped to your door or cheaper if you look around.Originally posted by anythingfast View Post
Any swap will cost money because you will want to replace the oil seals, timing belt, water pump, clutch as well as resurface the flywheel and get some other maintenance items. And you need an ECU. And for a head swap you also need a headgasket set.
^All that is a few hundred bucks (unless you get cheap crappy parts and skip some stuff... which is a bad idea)
Just something to think aboutComment

look around on ebay. you can get them cheap and if you have a 5spd keep the F22 tranny until you can get a h22 trannyComment

That is what I was planning for now. I figure my F tranny would work until I could get an H. The only thing about H22 trans is the low gear ratio. Not lookin forward to it. I'll have to get an LSD.Comment

f22 turbo builds can be sick. If your looking to tweak and build a cool motor noone else have f22 is perfect. You dont need to have vtec on your car.

On top of the f23 head being crap, the h23 manifold doesn't fit it, so I'm not sure why that would be included in the deal.
Heck, if you want an f23 head so bad I'll sell you one with 45k miles on it, complete with intake manifold and throttle body. They are crap though.Comment

I don't necesarily WANT an F23 head. The guy was tellin me it'd be an upgrade, that is why we are here. I was tryin to figure out whether or not that was TRUE. I did not know the H 23 mani wouldn't fit the F23 head.Comment

I guess I'll try to get my hands on an A6 head then. . . . . . .Comment

F23 head is a down grade.Originally posted by anythingfast View Post
The F22a head is one of the best out there with by far the most potential.wat?Comment

So correct if im wrong. You can turn a f22a non-vtec into a f22a SOHC VTEC?
Originally posted by rexload View PostYea, you just run a couple of wires to the ECU and get a ECU that can control VTEC.
FYI, the P06 is not a VTEC ecu but it can be converted and work just like a P28(which is a VTEC ecu).
You would have less to worry about with an F22A, there are no advantages in using the F23 head.
Make sure the turbo manifold you are getting will work with your engine and with the turbo you are planning on using. Also make sure the turbo is proper size for your engine.
And you will also need to tune the ecu before you can drive the car with a turbo installed on it.
