2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

    f22a6 with vtec head

    Does a 95 accord vtec head fit directly in a f22a6 and do i need a new taming belt or can i use the f22a6 timing belt... and also is there any other ecu that will give it better porformance other than the stock P0A ecu

    Why do I answer this question 3 times a week?

    With some modification, it will fit. However, it is a considerable downgrade from the F22A head. The F22B1 head was not made for performance, but for fuel economy and emissions. The port design is crowded, and the valve angle is poor. The VTEC system works on the intake valves only. Its primary purpose is for fuel economy... and to lure ignorant suckers into paying more for a car because it has "VTEC".
    No other ECU is going to make it any better.

    The F22A head, on the other hand, has flow potential equal to or greater than the B18C5 (Integra Type R). Swapping the F22A head would be a bad idea.

        The f22a6 head...

        Why does everyone think you can just swap heads like switching socks?

          cause I didn't want to start a new thread.
          how much trouble would it be to put a f22A head on the f22B1 block?

            None at all, they have the same blocks.

                The F22A and F22B1 blocks aren't identical, but similar.


                Do you not have a head on your block now?

                If you're running the F22A6 cam and intake manifold (or H23 intake manfiold), the PT6 is best. If you're running F22A1 or F22A4 parts, the P12 from the Prelude S is the best ECU.

                There is no need to do a headswap on an F22A block. Most of the time, the result is very unreliable, and the gains are minimal.

                  Deeve, I have a f22b1 in my car right now. I hate it. I'm wanting to do a A1 or A6 head swap, so I can get rid of the fake vtec. and spray. that is why I asked.

                      im runnig the f22a head but i think is craked i changed the head and vaulve cover gaskets. and also the tube seals. but i still have oil leaking in my spark plugs.. i really dont now what else the problem could be. is there any othere problems that could cause tha leak. i havent tried the seals under the roker arm assembly could the fix it. The car got symptones of a blown head gasket but theres no coolent in the oil and it only smokes when u turn it on..

                        Failing lower tube seals are very likely.
                        If there's no mixing of coolant and oil, then the head gasket might be fine. Are you burning coolant? White smoke, sweet smelling?

                        Black smoke is excess fuel, or at least unburned fuel... possible if your spark plugs are fouled.
                        Blue smoke is oil. DEFINITELY possible if your spark plugs are covered in it.

                            I guess the coolant is finding its way into the combustion chambers only, which is a good thing. It's not getting past the rings, and there's no leak into the oil passages.
                            Blown head gasket is likely... cracked head, as you mentioned, is always a possibility. If it's overheated anytime recently, that could cause damage to either.

                              So then the only way 2 find out is to remove the head. Thanks 4 the help
