f22a1 build up

[i-07]

u could just put all aftermarket parts for it

[Shadow1]

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?

like d11 said. no they wont bolt to the runners on an a1 IM. the reason is because the f22a6 has DUAL runners as opposed to the f22a1 and a4s SINGLE runners.

you would have to put some money into custom work if you put a dual runner plenum on an a1 or a4 runners. youd have to cut the runners open then find some way to get the extra air through the larger plenum.

omg this is absurd :P

Thanks for the help, I'm going to look around for a while to see if i can find something that'd work. I dont feel like asking any more questions because it seems like the more i ask... the more I need to ask :P

Sounds like a can of worms for about 5-10hp boost. :P

Thanks though.

the h22a is a quick way to get power

Air in and air out also. CAI and a good exhaust are usually the first things. F22b Vtec head is an easy swap, adjustable cam gears, nice clutch/flywheel set-up w/short throw doesn't hurt either. If you're not doing the bottom end I'd be sure to get a compression check before you build the top.I just decided to keep an F22 in mine but I'm boosting.

easy but completely stupid and a waste of time and money.

yes, i wish i had my first f22a so i can rebuld it

yeah but not everyone has that "easy power" money. swaps like that can cost from $2300 and up. with about half that he would be able to build his motor up to the amount of power he's loogking for.

i WOULD get a h22 swap but it would just go into that battle thats been going on for so long, which is better: the h22 swap or boosted f22. it all depends on the owner.

im going to what he's doing. i dont plan on buying any one part that cost more than i got the car for. i got mine for $800. so dont intend on seeing on my members ride thread any part that cost more than that. lol.

there are too many things you can do to the stock motor(head swaps, exhaust, cams, port and polish) that you can do to raise the hp to where its enough for the street but more than enough to dust that civic or teggy that pulls up next to you at the light or at the track.

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.

Our F22ax heads flow quite nicely stock, if on budget have your exhaust ports done only and you'll see benefits. A bored throttle-body and ported intake manifold will hurt nothing but gain. Throw on 3" intake, header and exhaust and you'll feel a difference.

If you have money left, get a camshaft, chipped ECU and tuning (must get all together). Don't bother with an adjustable cam gear for any cam regrind, just use stock cam gear and set to 0 degrees. Also, make sure your clutch is in healthy condition and not slipping, this obviously defeats any performance modification purposes (if you have manual tranny).

i just wish I knew exactly what to look for and buy.
i'm going to go find an h22 TB and Intake manifold. But the runners... urg... what runners will bolt to an f22a1 head... yet allow the h22 plenum to bolt to them... on top of that... which runners are the best to bolt the h22 plenum to?...

by doing that... what gains are people even seeing? Is it worth the time, hastle, and money?

Honestly, right now I'm tryinig to boost hp WITH mpg... Headers will help when i get them... hopefully not till about july or august, depending on my downpipe.

I just wish a site told you what worked with what to do what.

Its really frusterating being new to the cb7 scene. I've had my car for... meh over a year now. Originally bought for $4000 and it had 28,000 miles on it... its got 64,000 on it now, so I'm not going to do any top or bottom end engine work... but I will swap out the intake manifold and exhaust manifold :P

i found a bunch of h22a motors with trany for under $1k
