F22B -vs- H22

[Brandoncb7]

Ok so i have been looking at different engines lately and trying to figure out which would be a better buy when I get the money. The f22b was rated at 160 hp and is dohc and this shop wants like 600 dollars for it. The h22 was at like 200hp and they wanted 1800. With getting the f22b and having 1200 left over to sink into it could you not make decent enough hp to justify buying it over the prelude motor? I really don't know too much about the f22b and haven't really paid much attention to it until lately. I guess i'm just wondering the pros/cons to this engine. Most everybody seems to be going for the prelude motor if they do a swap. I mean i'd love to have a K series but that amount of money is totaly out of the question. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance everyone.

The f22b isn't a viable engine for a decent build. The f22b was built more for fuel economy than performance. You could build yourself a nice f22a for the kind of money you're talking about.

if you really wanna save money on the swap and drop in a more build-friendly engine, get an h23, which is very similar to the f22b dohc but with more aftermarket support

Yeah I have seen the f22a engines for a pretty decent price and some of the turbo builds on here on rediculous for hp. I like their numbers but I would kind of like to stay NA and maybe just use a small shot of nitrous that way it's only there when I want to use it instead of all of the time. I've read a little bit about spray and it seems to be fine on stock internals as long as you don't go over a 75 shot and 50 wasn't supposed to be anything to worry about as long as everything is installed correctly. I don't really race too much though. I'm more so looking for around 200-220 at the wheels. I don't want to build a monster, just something for me to have a decent amount of power that's still going to be reliable.

Yeah I know where an h23 is for sale at like 45 mins from my house. I think the guy wants like 1000 for it with the tranny. That might just be for the motor though.

An F22B with 1200 sunk into it would be decent. However, the more you modify a motor, the more chance you have of it becoming unreliable. An H22 makes 200hp (roughly) stock.

The F22B is also a Prelude motor. It's basically what Japan got instead of the H23.



You can achieve 160hp with some good bolt-ons for the F22A

go with h22

[Brandoncb7]

SO one person is saying H22 and the other H23 lol. Is there that much difference in between the two or more aftermarket support for one more over the other. I thought those two engines were similar to the F series where everything was interchangeable... Also I was wondering if someone could post a link for the thread saying what all you need to do the
H22/H23 swap. My computer keeps kicking me offline or I would search myself. Thanks again.

Check out the top "sticky" in the swap forum. Everything you need to know.

its all about what you want
if you want something to mess with and build up go for the h23, if you want out of the box power go with the h22.

Why not spend the $2000 on building up the F22a?
If you're planning on going n/a, you'll have a reliable, high hp engine for $2000.

Go H22 FTW!



Got this H22 with LSD Tranny, ECU, TCU, all sensors, and wiring harness for $2095! Check out HMotorsonline.com. For you though, tack on the shipping fee. I picked this up at their spot with a trailer. They have the cleanest, most reliable engines I've seen. Pretty much all of the SOCAL CB7 cats got their swaps from there.
