I think you should Vtec it just to have that badass feeling at about 5000 rpm when it puts you in the seat and then you feel around the same time that you hit full boost and you instantly feel better about who you are.

that makes no ****ing sense!
LOL!!!! He referring to that JDM MAD V-TAK!Originally Posted by BlkCD5
I do rb20 and rb25 wiring into s13 and s14's 300.00 shipped 24hr turn around turn ket start guaranteed! PM me for more details!
lol
This is what will happen if you run me:idb:
He has a SOHC motor and all them kick in before 5000..lol and a SOHC vtec isnt gonna put you back in the seat..you wont even be able to hardly tell when it engages vtec.

The jdm F22b is not sohc.
but it is also not worth sh1t IMHO. If you want to go VTEC and keep reliability, just get a whole new engine (I recommend the F20B from a jdm accord SiR-T. It is basically a H22A type S with steel sleeves and a shorter stroke. Everything else is the same, and you can usually find it for cheaper. It has 200hp like a H22A, and a 8k rpm redline. Pretty badass little motor), or if you want to go turbo, go with a H23A and turbo it. You can get those engines pretty cheap, and parts are fairly priced. The F22B is just not worth doing a VTEC conversion. It will probably cost you close to a grand for just the VTEC conversion alone, and you probably won't pick up much power since it has a lower compression ratio. Also if I remember right, it has a smaller crankshaft main journal diameter than the H series or the F20B DOHC VTEC. It just wasn't designed to turn 8k+ rpm. VTEC engines make the most power in the high RPM range that a F22B is not capable of going (reliably anyway).

jdm f22b isn't sohc. its dohc.
last time i checked, F22B and H23 were just about the same in price. You're right about the Vtec conversion, but its not a bad candidate for boost. How can you say the F22b is "****", when there is not much difference between the two motors?
theres an important difference in the size of the rod journal and main journal sizes. The F22B is smaller, which means there is less bearing surface area.
If the F22B is the same price as the H23A, why didn't you just get the H23? pistons, rods, cams, etc are more readily avaliable for the H23A.
Look I'm not trying to argue with you, but I have been around honda's for a long time and built quite a few myself, and I know what works and what doesn't. Turbo your F22B if you want, but don't expect it to be reliable or last long.

I've heard some horror stories and good ones about the F22B. Btw I don't have the F22b or the H23.
that is best qoute ever.
Val RIP
its definintly sig worthy, but my sig is better so i didnt quote it
LMAO.... hahahahahaa
gah what a loser
^. Brittonee, could you give him some enlightenment on the Vtec head conversion. I heard that you had a H23 block with a H22 head.
