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.
No, you cannot directly swap a 1.6 DOHC VTEC head onto a 1.5 SOHC non-VTEC engine without significant modifications. The two engine designs have different architectures, including differences in mounting points, intake and exhaust configurations, and timing mechanisms. Additionally, you would need to ensure compatibility with the engine management system and potentially modify the engine block to accommodate the DOHC head.
Yes, as long as you do the swap correctly and run off the correct ECU, there should be no problem.
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
it depends, i would need to know the ecu's , vtec or non-vtec
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.
You have to acquire a vtec head either from a b16 or a b18 (gsr)
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.
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.
It will probably be more work than it's worth. The computers aren't compatable.
yes but you will need to run an oil line to the head,youll need a vtec capable ecu with a tune,and it is suggested to get arp head studs and pistons from the same head to be safe and do it right.
In short Yes, however if its a non-vtec b18 block you will have to do and ls-vtec conversion to it (kits available online).
