Not really a worthwhile head swap. Better off gettin an f22b the jdm version. You would just need the head, wires, HG, and I think you need to block off a port or something not sure on that part. You will also need to trim the driver side mount to make it fit.

alot of pride. most cb7tuners will tell you head swaps are not advisable. Your better off getting a DOHC swap. Also FYI the f22b1 head is lower flowing restricted and has the wiring and piping rearange. So youll need the head correct OBD's different hoses and extended wires and a head gasket the timing belt should be the same. BTW NON VTEC SOHC FOR THE WIN CHECK OUT BISI OR OUR COMMUNITY HERO HONDAFAN18 ADVANCE SEARCH IS THE KEYComment

I know xfactortype1 has it. He might be able to give you some advice (not sure how often he's around, though).
It's probably a bit similar to the H23 headswap, with wiring similar to that of the H22 swap. You'll need the ECU for the F22B1.
Honestly, the F22A head is much better than the F22B1 head. The F22B1 has nothing to offer... it flows like crap. Don't get sucked in by the VTEC gimmick! If you really want SOHC VTEC, just get a whole F22B1. It'll be easier and more reliable.

A study of the English language is key... I'm used to reading your posts, and that one was hard even for ME to follow!Originally posted by 10thcb7
Even though the head sucks, try to give some useful information regarding the question at hand... or don't post at all. It's a crappy swap, but if he wants to do it, he's allowed. Feel free to advise against it, but don't do so without offering some sort of answer to the question that was asked.

DEEV LOL.
I vote no for the sohc vtec swap. I vote no for the DOHC VTEC head swap. I vote in favor of a H23/F22B(JDM) Head swap, H23 complete swap, F22B complete Swap, F20B complete Swap, H22 complete swap, H23VTEC Complete Swap Just not a sohc vtec.
Easy way to make HP is to save up and get a reall power adder like nitrous, or a fresh rebuild of the motor with 12:1 pistonsComment

There is a thread (made by deev) that adresses increased power for 500 bucks. I'd look for that, it's gotta be floating around beginner technical somewhere.Originally posted by hondaaccordboyComment

the best bet would be just get the whole damn motor.. less headache and probably cheaper in the long run !!
F22B DOHC FTW !!!

^ ridindirty! although i would personally do it backward f23 block f22a head but what ever floats your boatComment
-
well the main reson i did it like that is i had the hole f23 engin but it slung a rod and i fuc*ed up my stock head so i just did this swap truthfully i did not think it would make that much of a diffrence but really it did i still have a couple of thing left to do to it but all in all im happy for the extra power it gave meComment
