F22 power capabilities. HELP!

[babbott92]

I have a stock 92 Accord EX Coupe with the F22a6. Is it at all possible to mod this engine without using forced induction to about 200 bhp or about 170 whp? Or anywhere near this? I want to get an H22 for the power and keep it stock, but if I can get the same power with my F22 that would be great. I will do anything but turbo/superchargers, I want to keep it n/a.

h22 head swap, camshafts, plenum spacer, I/H/E, metal head gasket, bored cylenders, dual grind valves, big bore throttle body, heavier radiator cap, bigger injectors 225 lph fuel pump. theres a lot you can do without a turbo

Bisimoto 12:1 (has a low dome to not impede flame propagation) or 10.5:1
Bisimoto level 2 cam (well suited and customized for the F22, not one size fit all)
Bisimoto Cam gear
68 or so mm TB
H23 intake manifold with blacktrax mod
Bisimoto heat shiedling gasket
Honda MLS gasket
Balance shaft elimination kit
Header
Cold air intake
2.5" exhaust
NGK BKR8EIX plugs
AEM FIC or equivalent

for the price an h22 swap is cheaper

Anything is possible, just depends on your budget, resources, and time
170whp isn't a huge goal turbo wise, NA it's a bit more significant.
Plan out how much you want to spend, do LOTS of research for the best parts for the "Bang for your buck" deals and go from there.
You should have a look at Hondafan81's red and white projects to give you an idea of cost/final goals

This makes little sense...

X2. I was just about to say the same exact thing. A H22 head swap is a waste and seriously, a heavier radiator cap? How much HP does that add?

To the O.P.,
All this will give you a nice gain:

• Ebay SRI with K&N filter
• Decent muffler and have a muffler shop bend you up some 2.25 inch piping
• Doublestack your IAB plates
• Send out your throttle body to Maxbore.com
• Delta 272 regrind or Bisimoto cam
• F22A4 header
• Mild P&P on the exhaust side of the head
• Get tuned

If you just don't want to go turbo or supercharger ( You said "anything but") Then why not spray? A little nitrous can do wonders!


You can make 170whp NA fairly easily. A good I/H/E plus a nice port and polish job on the head should get you pretty close to that. I have 160whp out of my a1 with no head work (unless it was done before I got the car), and I haven't swapped the IM or put the cam in it yet.

first- never use solid metal head gaskets!
second what are dual grind valves

Most of your listed items are unnecessary


to OP start with a budget and work off that towards what you want your power goals to be.
