If it's a US 1990-1993 Accord it has the F22Ax motor.

Either F22A1, F22A4 or F22A6.

its a us, i just want to know wich f22 it is. its a 93 lx. and some swaps i could do. my father is a master tch and a junkie 4 rebuilding cars. he has been wanting to mess with my car and build something but i dont which to do. i understand an h22 drops right in but its sounds to goo to be true so is it? like i just have to but is and drop it in like what more do it consist of? or should i turbo a new rebuilt motor?

step 1. open your hood
step 2. look to the left of the exhaust manifold and below the coolant neck
step 3. clean all the road grime and other random nastiness that has likely covered your engine number plate.
step 4. read the plate. it will say f22a1, f22a4, or f22a6. if you have a 90-93 dx or lx, it will say f22a1. if you have a 90-91 EX, it will say f22a4, if you have a 92-93 EX, it will say f22a6. i have no clue what it would say if you have an SE or 10th aniversary.

and dont be jealous of your girlfreind's vtec, it is cheap, crappy economy vtec. your head is WAY better than hers (but i hope for your sake that only pertains to motors )

Most likely the F22A4.

there all kinda of swaps. Check out the Swap FAQ. It's stickied. You've been here a while, you should know this.

H22, H23, F20B, F22B, F23....to name a few.

My Se if an f22a6
My 10th anniversary is an f22a1 - 10th anniversaries are lx models with a few upgrades

[1993 CB7 LX]

its a us, i just want to know wich f22 it is. its a 93 lx.

u have an F22A1

my girlfriend has a vtec and i dont so im a bit jelious lol she has a 95 accord and its a bit quicker then mine and it sux that she can walk me! but im really just want the power when i need it and it has none now! so what are so good options i can do and what kind of motor do i have in my carr now i know its an f series but nothing else. thankyou

She has VTEC in a 95, yes, but it's not that much more horsepower. If memory serves, the 94-97 Accords had Single-cam F22B1 or 2 engine making 145 or 130 HP respectively. Compare this to the different motors in our Accords with the F22A1, 4 or 6 engine pushing 120, 130 and 140 HP respectively and overall there is little difference. Her powerband is probably more favorable, making power well passed 5400 RPM (Our achillies heel, IMHO). VTEC isn't everything and taking the time to research a bit goes a long way with this stuff. Chances are your engine isn't making close to it's factory horsepower now anyway. Either rebuild the engine and grab a turbo, swap in an H22 or attempt to build a legit, all motor F22. Remember the car triumvirate though: Powerful, Reliable, Cheap; You can only have 2.

On a side note, reading your post gave me headaches. Please try to use proper punctuation and complete sentences.

93 lx = f22a1 unless it's been swapped.
