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).Originally Posted by BlkCD5
