f22a1 build up

[Pandemic]

So, I'm going to try to build my f22 up to max hp without having to take the engine itself apart.

I'm going to get DC headers 4-2-1 and a downpipe <= as soon as its needed
intake manifold... I know either to look for the h23 manifold or the f22a6 manifold
would this work?

I'm looking for a delta 272 cam or equivalent.

What more should I be looking for? Bigger throttle body? Throttle body spacers?

[F22Turbo702]

I/H/E/manifold swap, lighter flywheel, 272 cam, Unorthodox Racing pulleys, a tune up and a good tune will make for a good reliable setup.

I wouldn't put the OBX manifold on my car, it's more for uber high hp N/A monsters or 400+hp turbo cars, and even then it doesn't make much power.

Throttle body spacers do crap. And if you want proven products look under Bisi. Expensive but his shit has been track proven.

I have the ram air intake, i have the exhaust done, I'll get the headers soon, but what about the intake manifold? What should I look to get?

Since you're gettin' the DC head might as well go for the h23 IM...but that's IMO.

I found the intake manifold from an EX. I think its from a 90, but I think it'll still work.
Should I get the intake manifold from an EX or from an H22/H23?

[d112crzy]

h23.

h23 has a bigger plenum and bigger throttle body.

if you're not gona take the engine apart, then do some porting to the IM and throttle body before you put it on.

H23 or F22b DOHC, I have the F22B intake manifold and I love it.

So in terms of IM, h23 or f22b manifold. Both will line up, bolt up, etc, no problem right?

wtf is the plenum?

anyone know where i could get my engine ported and polished around the north east PA area?

[rjsaccord]

if you have the money get yourself a h23 pnp custom tb too, custom header from Dave over at DHracing 4 to 1 with a 2 1/2 collector and 272 cam , Nx setup look up hondafan81's red accord that should give you an idea of what to do plus theres tons of kewl cars, here on this site start readin youll be shocked at what you can learn LOL

The plenum is the top part of the intake manifold. The thing with the PGMFI sticker on it, where the throttle body attaches.

There's a shop in Woodbury Heights, NJ that does engine work. They know Hondas quite well. All About Performance is the name, 856-853-8282 is the number. It's fairly close to Philly, so it may be a bit South for you... but I'd trust them. I'll be going to them for some work in the near future.

[Pandemic]

sweet, I'll give them a call some time soon.

So, h23 IM and TB it is... I cant find anything more than the OBX ones on ebay tho. I'll have to keep looking.

h23 IM and TB are going to bolt up directly, right?

[deevergote]

I know the plenum will. I believe the whole manifold will as well.

You really don't need an aftermarket intake manifold. For near-stock cars, or even cars with mild headwork, they aren't necessary. They'd hurt performance, honestly. The H23 manifold will give you some decent gains. Quite possibly 10-15hp by itself.

[Pandemic]

I found the intake manifold from an h22. its got like, everything on it. Including the injectors. Should I pull everything off of my old intake manifold and put them on the h22? could i do that or do i need h22 specific parts?
I also found the h22 TB. would that work as well as the h23 TB.

what is pnp custom?

There are lots of h22 IM / TB by skunk2.

[Pandemic]

whats the diff in IM from h22 vs h23... i know the h22 = 2.2L and h23 = 2.3L, but the IM should be the same.. eh?
