what do you guys/girls think of the f22b dohc? from the 91prelude si. its the same engine except for the dohc. what are the advantages on having a dohc? and would i need to change the ecu if i swapped that in?

you mean the 92 Si?
F22b DOHC is pretty much a direct swap and yes you will need the ECU.
DOHC makes more power than sohc.

if it were me i would get the whole engine. and im prety sure u can get the ecu at the junkyard.Comment

you can run a JDM f22b with the stock pt6 with absolutely no problems at all.... i've been doing it since day one of the swap... you won't b making the most power possible, but it's safe to run
the motor is fun i'll tell you that, you'll enjoy it and it's NOTICEABLY faster than the stock f22a
the price is well worth it, and they seem 2 b pretty cheap now adays(where i got mine from, a JDM F22B was actually CHEAPER than the stock F22A 
...)
i suggest a straight, full swap... fuck a headswap

I would do the entire engine swap rather than just the head for reliability reasons.
and yea you can get the ecu at the junkyard just be really sure that the prelude had that motor in it and not a h22 or f22a
