Engine build questions!

[1qukcb7]

hey guys, so ive decided to build my f22b vtec and had a few questions for you, i have chosen a fair selection of parts including bisi spring and retainer kit, level1.2 turbo cams, 85mm headgasket, 8.2:1 pistons, with an h-beam rod set, the questions i have are these, has anyone taking there crank to be balanced/should it be done? for prepping the block, is it a good idea to get it honed/hot tanked and also im trying to find a different turbo manifold other then my log style one i have now, but am having no luck!!! some input would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!!!

itsl always a good idea to have your crank at least micropolished. most honda cranks are very well balanced but its up to you... I always do it just for piece of mind. if you are installing new pistons its highly recommended to hone the the engine in order for the rings to seat properly.

Thats what i figured, but wasnt sure, what about valves?...im planning on making at least 400... should i use oversized valves, or keep the same size?!? im trying to cover my bases before i buy this stuff so i can do it right..

the stock h22 head with a large turbo with upgraded springs and retainers can support 600+. this includes stock cams

im running a f22 not an h22 but still, in ne case i appreciate the info, does anyone have any idea where to get a turbo manifold for this motor?!?! or should i look at getting something custom made?!?!

Theres a couple out there like your looking for. but im drawing a total blank right now on where to point you. But someone will chime in, so dont give up hope.

I would highly suggest all in fabricatin thou if you want to go custom made! He does amazingly flawless work.

get it custom made You can buy a manifold maker kit and if you know someone who can weld then u can design your manifold

Other then that most manifolds for our car crack often

I made 475hp on a stock f22 head with the only upgrade to the head being valvesprings.

I can make you a manifold.

poor quality manifolds crack.

serious eh? so in a sense i dnt really have to worry about getting a cam or doing the top end?! i figured for reliability sakes, my goal is around 500...
how much would u charge me to make a manifold?

anything over 300 id suggest some bisimoto springs and retainers. other than that your good up to 475. 475 is the limitations of the stock cam due to an economy minded cam profile (too much overlap, not enough lobe separation)

PM me about a manifold.

a friend of mine had a obx turbo manifold on a skyline and it lasted him a couple months then it cracked.... so im not really on board with that brand...has ne one on here used an obx manifold?

[sulimed]

if i remember correctly there are two different manifolds. one with a cheaper steel and one with a stronger steel. you get what you pay for
