    dx vs ex?

    Just a quick question. I used to have a 92 dx 4 door and man that thing moved. it had a f22a1 and it would spin tiers 2nd and some times 3rd gear with no problem! I just recently bought a 91 ex 4 door and it feels slugish for some odd reason. I mean it had good top end but lags on take off. It has a f22a4 in it. I thought the f22a4 had more power than the f22a1 could it be that the ex is heavier? thanks!

    f22a1-125hp
    f22a4-130hp

    the ex is heavier than the dx but a couple hundred pounds if that.

            Exhaust manifold (header) is different

              it has a factory 4-2-1 header, similar to a DC sports or ebay header. That is the only difference between the two motors. So if anything the f22a1 may feel a bit more responsive at the lower rpm due to more back pressure, but it will suffocatre more at the higher rpms. your next step to some more hp would be f22a6 cam+intake manifold, that'll put you around 140.

                I see. So you think I would get more power if I get parts from the f22a6

                  cool! so there is no need for me to upgrade my header to a aftermarket one?

                      It has been debated that the a4 exhaust manifold was better than the a6 but the intake manifold from the a6 is def the best, and remove the butterfly valves.

                        no, not at all, unless you were to fully built the motor, like larger bore/stroke, higher compression...etc

                              correct, and when you remove the butterflies you can also add a p12 ecu from a prelude type s, i what years. that will add another 10-15hp.
                              thats actually my setup right now, f22a1+a6 cam+inatake mani+p12+i/h/e
