where to start performance wise?

[newtocb7world]

he I'm new to the cb7 world like my name states. i just pick a 92 with a cat back exhaust I'm just wondering where to go from there I just want a mild DD build any info will be greatly appreciated

wish engine you got?? f22a?

[newtocb7world]

The motor is a f22a1 I'm pretty sure. i haven't had time to double check it. but im new to these ears all together so I'm pretty much stupid to what can be gotten out of them

you are not stupid, just not educated... in each sub forum section theres something that says STICKY under the thread. if you was to read EACH STICKY IN THE SUB FORUMS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND YOUR CAR ALOT MORE!!!!!

yeah I wrote a while newbie tip for you guys that got closed closed and jacked by explodingcake. hey start with a timing job and fixing the dizzy and tcu then the basics don't be a ricer

Restore the car before you mod it.

What good is car when a balljoint or timing belt snaps?

[newtocb7world]

thanks for the info the car is mostly stock it has a cat back exhaust which will probably disappear when i fully commit to the project but my vision is to lower it a few inches, repaint it (the stock color), and get a nice aggressive sounding exhaust, and see what kinda of performance i can get out of it while still keeping it a reliable DD. but like i said im new to these cars but ive seen some really clean ones riding around, but on the other hand have seen some held together buy duct tape (ashame)

This should help you get started for a novice, like a real cb7tuner, not like a ricer. Try to understand your car before you "adjust" the performance.

I would go with the standard I/H/E then upgrade the ignition. My last CB7 was a 92 EX with the F22A6. I bought a cheap eBay short ram intake, Megan Header, gutted my Cat,a Megan cat-back, the MSD SCI box, Blaster SS Coil, NGK iridium plugs, NGK wires, and an MSD extreme cap and rotor. I noticed significant top end gains due to the ignition providing a nice strong spark into the higher RPMs. The ignition system is often overlooked. It's upgrades that can complement whichever build you plan on going later on if any (FI, NA, NO2). Just my two cents tho.

[deevergote]

The stock ignition system is good for over 500hp. Any gains felt with ignition upgrades were in your head.

So you're saying the stock ignition produces the same spark at 6000 RPMs that is does at 2000 RPMs? I find that hard to believe. The engine spinning at 3x the rate doesn't have nearly enough time to produce the same spark.

Why not?
