how do you vtec a non vtec motor? you cant. so i guess you better just boost it, however since youre obviously kind of a noob. i wouldnt recommend doing anything like this yourself.Originally posted by losrvzoo View Post

The engine is either vtec or it isn't. You don't "VTEC" an engine. You can potentially get a VTEC head and make it work with a non-VTEC block.. but that takes a good bit of work and experience is a major plus there.Originally posted by losrvzoo View Post
If you look around on the site there is a lot of information already written about what swaps are available and the experiences people have had while doing the swap, as well as tips and suggestions. Good luck
As far as upgrading it to make more power, either via N/A upgrades or a turbo/supercharger, unless you have some kind of idea of what you WANT, it is hard to make a suggestion as to how to proceed. It is possible that the extra power you get from this new engine is sufficient and you don't need to do anything further to it. Give us all some more information on what you have, what you want, and how much you're willing to spend.Comment

Boost it for more power than h22!

That MIGHT be what he's asking... or he could be completely ignorant as to what VTEC is and does...Originally posted by 92smokeaccord View Post
Boosting the F22B is the easiest way to power. It has higher compression than the F22A (which is a great boost candidate if it's in good shape... and a great NA candidate as well...) but it's still in a good range for a stock-block low boost setup. With 8-10psi, properly tuned, you'll be making possibly 230whp.
MAKE SURE YOU GET IT TUNED! Also, don't cheap out on turbo components. A small turbo will hurt your engine... small turbos make lots of heat.

well i know an engine is vtec or not but head swaps are as fesible as you know it alls egos......anywho thanks for the input and i look forward to getting more answers to help me complete this damn swap. i do have one question now though.......what if i were to put in a h22 head and then turbo? what kinda results should i expect?Comment

y would probably get a decint result cause the f22b dohc has less compression thyen the h22.so u would make up for the lost power and then some.Originally posted by losrvzoo View PostComment
