h22 build

[wvcb7]

so after purching my h22 on the 19th i will have around 1 grand left to buy parts, which parts should i go for(other than e/h/i) to maximize performance, this will be an N/A build. i planned on some high compression pistons, but what else, please keep in mine 1 thousand dollars. thanks guys

maybe some skunk2 camshafts would be a nice addition...but have you upgraded your clutch to handle the extra power?

[wvcb7]

ehh actually it's still an auto ,but i'll adress that before this summer.

Tune up parts/seals for the motor.

thanks nail, honestly lol i raelly didnt even think of that, so i'll definately oreder a gasket/seal kit, but what about pistons?

[NAiL05]

Well if you comp test/leakdown test the motor and its healthy you dont need to go to the pistons. The seal kit I mention was mainly the outer seals. All the timing side seals (cam seal, front seal, rear main, balance shaft seals, valve cover seal, etc etc) It would be wise to do your timing belt/water pump at this moment since it is 10x easier with motor out. Tune up parts you should know basically fuel filter (accord unit) and the rest of the stuff you just order for the h22a. That will ensure your car will be running healthy and you wont have to worry about problems later on. But thats just me.

yeah i hear ya on that nail, my grandpa drag races and his friends ported and polished his 454, and im gonna have him do the same for my h22, i was talking like hgiher compression pistons, i want just a mild build maybe some horsepower gains up to lik 225-245 somewhere in there.

If you are putting more in to the car later, you might get a chipped ECU and learn how to tune for when you start upping things. It would be best if you had a tunable ECU by the end of your mods for sure.

yeah, but i have done about zero research on ecu tunin honestly i don't even know how it is done or hooked up to a computer
