i'm really gettin interested in doin the f22 block/h22 head swap. i just wanna know what you need to hondabond/hondaweld to make the swap work?

[CB7Man]

I believe there is a DIY somewhere
either that or complete build step through someone did

Why do you want to do this swap?

[cole_edinger]

Because I already have a junk motor that I can salvage the block from and I figure I'd be better off building the hell out of it to make it bulletproof for about $1300 rather than spend more than that for a stock h22. Not to mention the f22 block is better for turbo

What you going to do with the Bisi cam then?

you want it? i'm not going to be using it anymore and i never put my built head on my new motor. I'll sell you the whole head if you want.

[Sick1CamF22EJ1]

Just wondering why you even want a DOHC head? A series heads = god.

[deevergote]

A series? That's the 3rd gen, buddy... and the A series heads flow like crap.


F series. F series engines come in our cars, and the heads do have a lot of potential. Stock, not so much. Modified, they have a fantastic valve angle and port design.

why do you consider a motor that makes half the power a better platform for turbo?

the only thing you can benifit from is that you can use forged psitons... and thats it. everything else on the h22 or h23 block is stronger and designed better. (except for the sleeves) but even the FRM sleeves have help up to
400whp.
With the proper tuning their is little to worry about, and without correct tuning your little f22 block will also explode.

yes the f22 is capable of being turboed... it's just your argument is not definitive.

[deevergote]

Yeah, the F22A isn't necessarily better... it's just cheaper.

And honestly, I'd rather blow up an F22A than an H22A... if you're going to go cheap for a turbo project, use a motor that's inexpensive to replace!

lol so i'm confused about what hes trying to do now? H22 headswap isn't that hard. Like it was said its little things you need to do but they are critical....
To do that head swap on your f22 you need/need to do:
1.h22 complete head(intake manifold, injectors, throttle body, vtec sol etc etc)
2.exhaust manifold and y-pipe, or just headers and make a new exhaust, whichever
3. h22 ecu
4. can be a used h22 water pump
5. h22 crankshaft timing gear
6. h22 head gasket, echaust gasket
7. h22 timing belt
8. h22 water cross over pipe. (good luck finding that new )<<there was 1 in the U.S when i was working at acura and i needed it. Modded the t-stat housing instead
9. h22 distributor
OK off the top thats what i remember.
The 2 last oil returns on the drivers side(front one and back) need to be sealed
The water cross over pipe needs to be cut. Water pump side needs to be f series, t-stat side needs to be h series, connect the 2 with hose or weld the pipe together.
Remove the orifice from the f22 block right above the oil pressure sensor. (on deck of the block, you'll see it when you take the f head off.)
All i can remember right now, But if your still interested in it this will get you started, if you haven't lost motivation now

Deev should i just make a thread in the swap forum for this, so you don't get aggrivated everytime a new member asks about this just let me know and i'll pull my pics and get to typing

[deevergote]

If you want to, go for it!

I hate these stupid frankenstein swaps, but if we could at least have a definitive DIY on how to do it RIGHT, it'd be better!

[HaulAss247]

lol ok man, i'll try to get working on it this weekend, i gotta get all my pics together for it.
