help guys!!!!

[Crankshaft]

can anybody supply me with ideas on what to do to my 90 f22a1 to squeeze power out? im thinking of porting and polishing my heads to increse air flow, but can't get the a4 headers since im also thinking about boost soon! im thinking ;ecm fuel rail, injectors, cam and gears, h23 int manifold(also smoothened out) and start putting in more hours at the job!

[PUMASTi]

I guess the a6 head and h23 intake manifold would help out a bit.

[bmxfelon420]

dont bother buying a fuel rail or injectors unless you've got a built motor, or are running obscene amounts of boost.

[deevergote]

How many heads and headers do you have on that motor?



Look up my thread on how to make 30+hp for under $500 on an F22A1.

[sleepycb7]

raise the compression you will love it.

[deevergote]

Don't just do random work to your engine. If you're thinking about boost, a P&P job for an NA motor won't help. Make a plan, stick to it... and you'll make power.

Check HondaFan81's projects for some F22A NA ideas. As for boost... there are plenty of options. You don't really need to do anything to the head to make good power with turbo.

sorry for the plural guys but yeah i am also planning on working the bottom end too, its gonna take me a bit of time to get it just the way i want the project to come out but once again good things come to those who have patience. and yeah i am planning on swapping the a6 heads if not just do a mild race cam transplant

f22a is same thing as me i just did exhaust and cold air intake on mine and it seems to beat my moms 2005 grand prix.
but if i were you CAI,headers,exhaust

[Crankshaft]

i shall start my scavenger hunt this week, thanks guys

If you plan to turbo later then you want to make sure whatever you do is compatable with a supercharged instalation, which rules out CR increase to start.

FWIW, if I were in your shoes I'd be thinking about fitting a lighter flywheel. This won't make any power, but you'll be wasting less of what you are making spinning up a heavy FW, and the gains will still be there when you turbocharge it. Makes for faster gearshifts too.

ok i've asked a couple of people here but since nobody answered; which is better to install that can be chipped apt6 or p12

[Jonas]

Neither can be chipped.

If you have the F22A6, or a dual-runner intake manifold, you want the pt6. If you have the F22A1, the P12 works well.

a1

i have an a1 with Intake and full 2.5 exhaust. could a turbo work with either one

[Jonas]

you ask the most random questions.

yes. what exhaust you run doesnt really matter. 2.5 is a little small but it will work fine. you can run turbo on a stock exhaust if you want. the intake can just become part of the charge piping. if you want turbo then a p12 or pt6 wont be a good idea. you will need something that can be programmed. standalone fuel management or at least a chipped ecu. a p06 is a good ecu to chip for an f22a1. the chipping is the easy part though you need to tune it for turbo. there is no way around that. tune the ecu or blow your motor up. those are the options.

[Crankshaft]

i meant with the computer lol. well yeah i know about the tuning part naaded but i know a couple buddies who can do it, they have been trying to convince me into turbo some time now and well i think now is the time, the only reason keeping me from doing it is that i really don't fully understand the whole theory but im taking engine performance starting the 5th and gonna volunteer my engine to get worked on. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE HELP EVERYONE
