#309379 whats up guys and gals. here is a quick update.. i recently got into a freak accident with the hatch :cry: and after turning the z6 into an ls longblock, ls motor and si interior into a no motor ek sedan, then the ek sedan into a del sol s with an f22b block, and h22 head.
now does anyone know of any information sources on that swap? even better, if someone who has done this swap here on the site, shed some light please lol. ill have pics of the new sol soon

#309396 I am confused as to what you are asking.

If you want to swap in a F Series into an EG its the exact same as swapping in an H Series.

- Get H Series Mounts
- Get/Make Custom Axles(accord inners, Teggy shaft and outers)
- CB7(90-93) Shift linkage and cables.
- Then you will need to wire in a knock sensor(or disable it in your tune), egr(or disable in tune) and vtec.

The F22 block has Iron Sleeves which makes it easy to rebore and hone. it also is stronger for boost. The F22b also easily takes the SOHC Vtec F23 head as well as the H22 DOHC VTEC head, and the H23 DOHC Head.

The Build of using a "F" Block as well as a "H" Head is typically called a "G" Series build, a F22 with h22 head is called a "G22" and F23 a "G23" If you google those builds you can see what needs to be done.

The basic over simplified build is you take off the F22 head and put in a new headgasket, pull out a oil restricter, and drop on the H22 dohc vtec head. Then do the "h23 timing belt tensioner mod" which is when you run a h23 timing belt tensioner. You also want to Swap out Oil pumps and water pumps to h22 parts, while running a H22 Timing Belt.

If you need a deeper rundown there are multiple build threads of this online which can be found with a google search.

Look forward to seeing the Delsol. :thumb:

#309460 the swap is already in the car, it just needs some serious going over. somewhat runs on the h23 ecu that is in the car, cept no vtec, bogs when u stomp it, what every motor does on an ecu that "just barely runs it" it also has some oil seeping from between the head and block (that could just be a bad hg, or someone messed up putting the engine together i have searched, and have found ppl that have done the swap, but their build thread was either very blunt as far as the head swap itself, or didnt exist lol.
