i im thinking about swaping my f22a for an f22b from japan the f22b is a VTEC but im not sure what the HP,and TRQ differances are,any one know? i tried looking it up but could only find U.S. Specs

the power difference is 5hp, don't waste your time with the f22b1 vtec, get the h22a

Yes, H22 but make shure your state is cool with engine swaps
Emmisson laws very state to state. Certain engines are plain just illeagal

In Ca, the H23A Vtec cannot "Leagally" be used in a car.
Odd crap like that
And always call it an engine "replacement" never a swap, swap sounds....fast
and they dont like fast

i wonder if ya know how to live in tokyo ..........

worthless post. reported to the mods. i bet you whored your way through this forum too.


the sohc vtec motors are not an upgrade to the f22a. dont do it. if you want vtec the h22, f20b, or h23 vtec are the only way to go. otherwise, the h23 non vtec or f22b dohc are the next best options. the f22b vtec (f22b1 here) doesn't give enough of an increase in "trq" to warrant a swap.

h22 has more torque than f22b1 vtec. to put in an h22 you are looking at spending anywhere between $600-$3000 depending on where you get the engine from, whether you can install it yourself, whether you want the h22 transmission, whether you want to replace oil seals, timing belt and clutch, etc
if you want good torque, look for an h23.
