Question H22 Vtec head on H23

I need help and quick!!!!!!!!!1
I bought a 92 Lude with a Zex kit intake and exhaust short shift DC headers with 17" Momos. Its my first car with any balls and I rallied the $#!% out of it and blew a rod bearing in just 2 weeks of owning it. I can scrape together about 2 grand fast and since I have the engine ripped open already I want to hook it up and not put the same thing back in it.
My brother is a VW boy and all his friend are too. I barely know the crank from the cam and I can have everything installed if I get everything need for the conversion. Does anybody have any tips or advice on putting a H22 vtec on a H23 non Vtec?
I would appreciate any help.

Thanx,
LudeZex

here is what you need

1. VTEC head, complete: cams, gears, rockers, valve cover.

2. VTEC timing belt- VTEC has more teeth on the belt than the Si does.

3. VTEC water pump.

4. VTEC auto hydraulic tensioner for timing belt.

5. VTEC manual tensioner.

6. VTEC head gasket.

7. VTEC lower, most inner crankshaft pulley;

8. VTEC intake manifold ('96, throttle body has sensors which you need to use).

9. VTEC exhaust manifold

10. VTEC ECU/ECM.

11. VTEC spark plugs and wires.

12. VTEC water pump pipe (black pipe that runs behind the head from the water pump to thermostat housing.

13. VTEC injectors - if you don't change these over, then once you plug in the ECU/ECM you will keep blowing the 'EAT ECU' fuse when you crank/start the car.



Also remove the oil control orifice plug on the h23 block. should be right in the middle on top of the block.
hope this helps. got it at www.hondaplex.com i am currently doing one right now and me and this guy at hondaplex have put together a manual on how to do this conversion.

Send a message via Yahoo to PreludeX
you know it probably would be just right to do a JDM h22!
