Sohc Vtec

[sickoffthe206]

I was wondering what your guy's thoughts were on this head swap. Does it show nice gains or what?

from what i understand, sohc v-tec heads aren't made for performance therefore u wont feel any noticible power. sohc v-tec heads were made for durability and fuel economy issues. atleast thats what i beleive and have read.

eh you will notice a little bit of power...but you will probably notice more power if you did the DOHC head (f22b dohc or H23) instead

the sohc vtec head wont show much gains, but you can choose from a couple of turbo options that are made for it instead of using the dsm setup and make some power.

i didnt think the h23 head fit on the f series block

im gonna refrain from commenting on this. ill get my self in trouble again

[high c]

go sohc turbo!

[93accordexcoupe]

yes it does

so does that mean the h22 head fits on it cause the h23 head fits the h22. what in the world? im so confused

[EG-Si hatch]

again from my understandings, yes the h22 and h23 heads do fit a f22 block, i also beleive the f22b dohc head fits, they all use the same head gasket so why not fit. theres post about this from a while back. i never got how much power any of those gave us guys with the sohc heads. that post turned into a alphabet soup once they started talking about technical stuff. so i guess u could looked it up and maybe u'll understand what the heck they said.

i think if u just build the a6 head and boost ull be up there with h22 powa. i got a mild, (very mild) p&p, and my shit jerks my seat when i hit it.there really wouldnt be much nitice in sohc vtec. now bolt on a h22 or 23 head and u'll be flying.

[sickoffthe206]

Thanks for the info guys

why?

the a6 head/ecu vs. the b1 head/ecu is a toss up......thing is, the a6 head needs a lot less to get it on there.....i saw a dyno of 3hp more with the b1 head........you can get more than that with an a6 head and aftermarket header......

or just add a cam to what you already have, get the intake manifold from an a6, good header and make more power than all of them

the a6 head isn't inferior as far as the flow is concerned

only because he is implying that the DSM setup doesnt work. I realize its not for everyone. but that doesnt mean its junk. of course now that i re read it i realize mabye thats not what he is implying...but still

Bottom line is that headswaps on the cb7 is just a bad idea in the first place. Sure it can be done but why would you do that? Just a big headache and a whole lot of trouble. Swapping the SOHC vtec head on your motor is just a waste of time. The DOHC swaps I can kinda understand but they are so not interchangable that after you have done all the work to make the setup even work at all you just wasted a lot of time and money which you could have spent better in other places of the engine like maybe getting some high compression pistons, upgraded valve spring/retainers, etc. Getting head work done on your stock head would be a better idea.
