Alright. This is kinda off the wall...but that's ok. I have the 93 F22A6 engine for my Accord. I was wondering what the possiblily instead of getting a new engine if you could bore it out to 2.3 and use the pistions and stuff from the CD5 2.3L THEN use the VTEC head from the 2.3L VTEC. If you could follow that I applude you. I was just curious. Because if this is do-able I might do this instead of wasting money on bolt-ons...

Re: 2.2 to 2.3 vtec?
Yeah, it'll work just fine. You end up with pretty much what I just installed in my wagon: An F22B1 that was bored out to receive 87mm H22 pistons. Runs great, and has lots of power (well, relatively). I've been very impressed with how well it's working, considering it's my first engine build...Originally posted by ProjectCB7

Fizzbob, I meant bore the F22A6 out to 2.3 with using the 2.3L pistons and using the 94-97 VTEC 2.3L head.+ '93 Accord EX - CB7 - Frost White w/ Dark Blue = teh s0ld (ilikebigbutts)

The F22's have 85mm bore stock...is it really possible to bore them out to 87mm without sleeving?
Boring out to 87mm with 95mm stroke and a 50.5 cc for the cyl head (94-97 2.2L VTEC = F22B1 head) would be a 2.3L engine setupComment

No, the most you can go without resleeving is 85.5mm. you must resleeve to do 86, 87, or anything larger.Originally posted by HondaFan81

Actually, they were all 2.2L thru '97. The 2.3L didn't come out until '98. That being said, why don't you just go find a F23A1 from a '98 - '02 Accord and throw that in there. It already has a VTEC head.Originally posted by ProjectCB7

Did the 94-97 have a 2.2L VTEC? I was just referring to bore it and VTEC it instead of the full swap just to keep the cost down. But I was just wondering. In a few years I'm getting a CRX anyway...lolOriginally posted by mrhonda
