    Herroh cb7tuner. Im new afff

    Im a total noob. Well... Not a total noob but I have a lottt to learn.
    Sooo, heres my pitch.

    I was in the lifted truck scene for a while (i blame where i grew up), long story short around the end of 2012 i was ready for a change. So I traded my truck on a whim for some beat down civic with b20 swap in it because I didnt know any better. Some months and about 1000 bucks later I come to find some hidden structural issues. Sold that and now Ive got myself a much more sound project (or I hope so at least). Cb9 wagon for my daily, shes super ugly though so I wont post her up lol.







    Its got an h23 with an h22 vtec head. Stage 2 Crower cams, gutted manifold and plenum, 450cc injectors, and its sittin on koni yellows.

    Where Im at right now; Straightened out my core support, New radiator and slim fans, addressed some vacuum leaks, and bad spark plugs, Im going to try puttin factory injectors on it and see if it helps it not flood out so we can get it to idle. We've played with the distributor timing a little bit, if the injectors dont work im gonna play with the cam timing. Right now theres still alot that Im unsure of. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!

            Unreliable, not functional... not to mention that gutted intake manifold is crap. 450cc injectors are overdoing it, even for the Crower Stage 2 cams (the only thing out of the whole engine worth a damn.)


            Sorry, I used to be nice... but then I got old and grumpy.
            Those "creative" engines are fine if the car is a toy, which this one seems to be... but they're not effective combinations.

                  Yes... Seperate transactions but yes. I bought the one pictured, not realizing how much work it was gonna require to be road worthy, and picked up the stock wagon for cheap for the time being

                    If you want it to be reliable, replace that engine with a proper F22A or H22A. The Stage 2 cams can be used, provided you have upgraded valvesprings. Get a proper intake manifold, not that gutted shit that kills your low end (isn't that the whole purpose of the "big" H23 block, afterall?) Use injectors properly sized for your application... and if they're larger than necessary, you'll need a tunable ECU (no stock ECU is going to run an engine correctly on larger injectors.)

                    And I said you had a nice car! Just that your engine sucked
                    Not attacking. Just being honest. I've seen far too many noobs come in here all excited about their frankenstein engines, and then disappear with a "this car sucks! I'm going back to Civics!" when they blow up. And they ALWAYS blow up.

                      Dont get me wrong any help/advice is gonna be taken into consideration. Im just trying to work with what ive got so to speak. So not to be a smart ass or ill-informed, but my buddy thats been helping me with the whole ordeal had said that he read up on the gutted intake thing before i made the final decision to buy the car, and that it made like 10 more hp than just the stock one. And i do have a programmable ecu i just havent taken it to the tune shop because i want to address as much as i can myself before i pay out the ass for a shop to do it

                            Mike, how is an H-series head on an H-series block a "frank"? Don't you have to do some inter-series mating to make it so?

                              To the OP: With the combination of parts you are running; stock (?) H23 block and pistons, higher lift cams, and the big injectors, you defiantly need to tune the car.
