ok so i got a killer deal on a f23 vtech and i got a f22a4 in my accord now i payed 50 for the f23. i was wondering if i put the f23 head on my f22a4 bottom would tht be betr or should i just drop the whole f23 motor in my car??

swap the whole motor.

Whats wrong with your F22?Originally posted by reboklan View Post
The F22 is really a better motor design than the F23.

Your wasting your time. An f23a1 makes 150HPOriginally posted by reboklan View Post
An f22a6 makes 140.
Not to mention but the only thing making the f23a1 better then the f22b1 is the 2.3 liters
You'd be making an f22b1
And to top it all off that motor isn't easy to swap. Get rid of it, flip it for profit.Comment

VTEC, no H.
The head flows like crap. It is not a performance engine. It's OBD2, which adds a few extra steps to swapping it in, and there are no equivalent OBD1 ECUs to run it.
Another naive kid drawn in by the mysterious vtech...

The valve angle and port design are very restrictive in the SOHC VTEC F series. Power can be made, but a person should understand what they're getting into. Most just want cheap VTEC, and they don't understand that the SOHC F series VTEC is significantly different from the VTEC system found in the DOHC engines (for example, it's only on the intake valves.)
The F22Ax offers FAR more potential than the VTEC F series.

Sohc engines aren't pointless for power - Soch Vtec's are.Originally posted by pebojelly View Post Why do people say that a single cam is pointless for power?

The entire concept of Sohc Vtec is fuel economy, not power.
Its a reverse concept of Dohc Vtec.
Imagine an F22 Non Vtec (your current motor) Now add smaller valves with less lift/duration to that, then combine it with a map that injects less fuel (while vtec is not engaged)
The result is a more fuel efficient engine while Vtec is not engaged, and the same engine when Vtec is engaged.

There ARE 250+whp N/A F22B1s out there, I'm told... and I'm also told that the F23A1 head has a better design than the F22B1 (though still restrictive.)
They're not absolutely pointless, and I'd say they're not bad choices for a street turbo build... but ONLY if you know what you're getting into, and why. If it's just because "you wanna pop 'tec"... then look elsewhere.

At least he only bought the motor for $50. Sell it for like $250 to some guy with a CG with a blown headgasket or something. Then use the $200 you made to go get a tune up and a fresh tank of 93.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq
