How much would it cost to put a vtec block on my non-vtec 90 accord lx coupe? and can it be done?

thanx

The whole block or just the Vtec head on your lx block?

Just trying to clear things up.

I don't think its worth trying to put a vtec head on your block thou. and about the swap, might as well go with the h22. lates

As far as I know that LS/VTEC Frankenstein type job won't work with the F22 bottomend/H22 topend. (assuming you're referring to the H22A VTEC) If you meant the F22B1 or F23A1 VTEC, you're better off just doing a complete swap; but if you can swing it, swap in the H22A.

yes its possible to put an h22 head on an f22 block...but there is not any good reason i can think of, cause it will cost so damn much....just go buy an h22 and put it in....or you can get a newer f22 with vtec for pretty damn cheap and bolt it in as well.

How much for a newer f22a with vtec?

When i was refering to switching blocks i meant to switch my non vtec top end with an EXR top end(wich has vtec right)

if you can find someone that jsut did a swap and has a 94 or 95 accord ex engine you could probably get it for a few hundred...junkyard engines will run you from $500-1500 though.
are you changing engines for performance? or need to and are looking for just a little more? if it is performance...i would not even waste my time with another SOHC engine. you might pay $1100-1600 total for about 20 more horsepower....
you could save and spend between 3000-4000 and have an h22 which will give you about 70 more hp right away as well as be more responsive to modding it...

ex would be US model and EXr canadian..oh yeah and my prices were US dollars too..
i use www.car-parts.com to start when i check prics on used parts..

Im not sure yet if i want extreme power or if i just want an extra oomph, cuz after university ill get my self a real fire breathing dragon(cough*evo*cough) and then mod the c r a p out of it! But thanx for all the advice!! This site rocks cuz of you guys!

How much for a newer f22a with vtec?

If you're looking for a F-series motor, you might as well try to aim for the best F-block motor: The F23A1 (150hp/152lb-ft and LEV) + the oldest that motor could be is a little under 5 years.

(Food for thought.)
