Define a "crap load of money".

ridingdirty all i meant is that it takes some one like you to do something like that and post it on the net, btw what i mean is that is cool. How ever I think now that you said you used a f23 head on a f22 block ill use the f23block with a f22 head hehe. Later

well when you do that lmk how it works out and how it runs

I am doing the Sohc Vtec head swap. True it really isn't worth it for power but it is different. Which is my goal.

You will need f22b1 head gasket
94-97 throttle cable
94-97 thermostat housing
94-97water pipe
94-97 header with custom downpipe
94-97 ex timing belt
POA ecu (manual or auto depending on your setup
f22b1 or F23a intake manifold
I read somewhere that a h22/23 throttle body can be used (not sure if true though)
Valve cover
sparkplug wires
lengthen fuel line from the fuel filter
lengthen return line
The driver side mount needs to be shaved to keep the timing belt from hitting
The power steering pump you have two options:
1: use the f22b PS pump and bracket and cut that line and your line and
splice them together some how
2: (my preference) cut off the bracket where the hole furthest to the left
(if looking at the front of the motor) will no longer be used and clear the
exhaust manifold.
Plug the water hole in the very front of the head
Change the plug so that you can use the map sensor on the TB
Swap pins A6 and A11 at the ECU
Add vtec solenoid and pressure switch wires.
If you have a F22a6 you will either have to remove the oil cooler or build a custom water tube (that is you choice).

It is kinda of a lot of work for no real gains. Sure you will be different, and in my opinon they sound a lot meaner than A6 head. This Swap is alot of work for almost nothing. You need to decide if this is what you want and is it worth it to you. I have plans for mine that extend from different but that is down the road, quite a long way too but be prepared because the POA base map creates quite a nutless mofo. But the fuel mileage is great!!!!

Hope this answers your questions. Enjoy. If you need help i will be glad to walk you through this and help in anyway i can. I have done two of these and i'm going on my third.

youve done your research, very nice

and yes, the h series TB will work on the F22b/f23 upper plenum
