ENG: F22B DOHC Head Swap onto F22AX Block

[onyx10]

are there absolutely any differences between this and swapping in a H23 head ? I've heard rumors that an oil passage has to be plugged on the H23 head any truth to this ?

[NoSloCB7]

That is the only problem with this swap. It is harder to find the F22B DOHC head just by itself. I see aproximately 1 to 2 for sale a month. If you purchase the whole engine, then by all means swap in the whole motor.

I've been pricing things out to do this swap. Problem for me is that I haven't been able to find just the head. Is there any reason if I have to buy the whole engine, not to just swap the whole thing?

[NoSloCB7]

where did you score the F22 head for $150 SHIPPED ?

I purchased the Head from PRIMOCB7, a member on this board. It needed to be re-built due to a bent valve. I used this head on my very first swap, but them removed it after that oil pump in that motor decided to take a shit. Now it has found its new home.

-H23 Head Bolts
-H23 Crank Gear w./ H23 Backing Plate
-H23 Timing Belt or 1995 GSR Timing Belt
-F22AX Head Gasket

Were these the parts that you ordered that cost a total of $400?

vid or ban...

nice job on the write up

[NoSloCB7]

Where online did u buy the parts? And the ECU plugs rite into our harness right?

I bought all of my O.E. Honda parts directly from my local dealer. Yes, the ECU plugs rite in.

if you use a p14 youll needto hook up a knock sensor, also a iab control box if you use the h23 intake manifold

Great write up. everyone and their mom will be refereing tothis.

How much did you spend on parts collectively? How much does the complete F22B DOHC head go for? What intake manifold did u use? Were the gains really noticeable?

How Much Did I spend on part Collectively: I spent aproximately $400.00 on all parts. That was using all Honda O.E. parts.

How much did the head go for? I purchased mine for $150.00 shipped

What intake manifold did I use? I used the f22A6 IM with plans to use a H23 Upper Plenum.

Were the gains really noticible: Oh god yes. The plans for a dyno run are comming up.
