can you swap a 2.2 head for a 2.2 vtec head?Will it match up with the Block?
Yes you can. You can either use your LS block and put a Vtec head on it or you can just swap it out with a GSR or Type-R motor.
It will probably be more work than it's worth. The computers aren't compatable.
you have many different options when it comes to this, you can go d15b7/d16 vtec head (this is a Frankenstein swap where you put a vtec head on a non vtec block), or d16 vtec, or single or dual cam Zc its personal preference, but do not go for the non vtec motors such as d15s and certain d16s research use wikipedia it works the best to find this information
yeah it will fit perfect same model
The timing belt went on my 2.2 honda accord. I want to make it a Vtec now. Should i just get a Vtec motor or swap the Head?
You have to acquire a vtec head either from a b16 or a b18 (gsr)
ya for sure, any B18 engine can fit in an integra. I don't know why you would want to swap in a slower engine tho... The GSR engine is a B18c which comes with VTEC pulling out about 178 hp @ 7600 rpm and a GS/LS/RS usually come with a B18b Non VTEC pulling out about 142 hp @ 6300 rpm.
There is a difference in a 2.3 non-VTEC and a 2.3 VTEC head bolt pattern. Since the patterns are different, the engines cannot be switched without modifications.
b18. Acura offered a vtec and non-vtec. the LS, GS, RS came with a ba8a or b18b. These are both non vtec. the GS-R came with b17a. This was the VTEC. both are DOHC.
Non vtec 160 vtec sir 216
no it probably will not... i dont really understand the question though. there is no such thing as a non vtec h22.. if its in a prelude the non vtec motor would probably be the 2.0 liter or the h23 dohc, and in this case the h22 valve cover will not fit.
