f22a1 build up

pnp means to "port and polish"

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?

h22 runners will not bolt onto the f22a head. The top half is the same as the h23 tho.

[jas_r34]

would you have to reprogram the ecu if you uprgrade your IM to F22A6 or H23 or do you just slap it in n drive?

[d112crzy]

You don't have to. But you'd see better gains with a custom tuned ecu, not just a chipped ecu with a basemap.

[AccordWarrior]

would you have to reprogram the ecu if you uprgrade your IM to F22A6 or H23 or do you just slap it in n drive?

As long as you have a PT6 ECU out of the A6 to control the dual runners, no.

That is, of course, unless you've hooked the runners up to open via vacuum.

[jas_r34]

so the A1 ecu wouldnt work to full potential with A6 IM?

[d112crzy]

That is correct.

[skilzz]

would the a1 ecu work with the h23?

grr, i keep hitting 'next thread' thinking it'll go to page 2... nope, so i replied to this on someone elses' thread... oops

anyway
god damn this is confusing.
h22 runners <--- wtf is that?

So, bottom line here, Will an h22 IM and TB directly bolt up to a f22a1 engine?
Can I use it effectively with the ECU from an LX? Should I get a new ECU? if so, what one from what accord/engine?
This sounds more and more like a can of worms >:C.

If i get the H22 TB, would cruise control still work? i read somewhere that the skunk2TB dosent support cruise control.

sorry if i seem thick headed, this is all pretty confusing and i want to get my ducks in a row before i do something.
Thanks

[d112crzy]

godfuckingdamn. do some researching.

runners are the bottom part of an intake manifold. The top part is the plenum, which the tb is attatched to.

the h22 runners will not bolt on to the f22a head.

you can use your stock ecu, but it won't run to its full potential. if you want to get the right ecu, it will be a chipped ecu, tuned.

now fuckin search.

man, if its this big of a hastle, i'll forget about it.

My red Accord project link in my signature goes along the same concept you're trying to achieve. I did all the performance modifications you can do without touching the block (keeping the stock 8.8 CR) and using 87 octane gas. It is a reliable and peppy daily driver. I netted 155 whp/127 wtq on a Mustang roller dyno, which supposedly is known for lower values than a Dynojet.

HondaFan knows what he's talking about.

ok. ill put it this way.

h22 IM= will NOT bolt on an f22a motor

BUT you can use the plenum tho. that plenum is the part were the TB hooks up to. if you take the bolts off the top of the IM then youll get that top part. its the plenum

BUT the h22 AND h23 PLENUMS WILL bolt onto the f22a6 runners(the runners is the part thats left over when you take the plenum off.)

make sence?

[Pandemic]

yeah that makes way more sence. I just looked at the diagram. I thought the plenum and runners were all one unit. Once i saw that i knew what you were talking about.
But, ... maybe i should do some other research >:C

the h22 plenum will directly bolt onto the f22a6 runners. But would they directly bolt onto the f22a1 runners?

[d112crzy]

first you gota cut open the f22a1 manifold.
