Cisco NA F22 non-VTEC SOHC Project - Full Street White

[2point6]

If I am out of line, then I will retract my words... other than my encouragement.

I don't think you're out of line. He needs a fire lit under his ass so he can get this thing done already!!! It's been so damn long since he started it!! I mean...it's only a mild street build!

But in all honestly...I'm starting to think the cam profile may be too big for the compression. We'll see though. Can't really say much until this thing is tuned properly.

[owequitit]

I do agree with you Scott, but it is just his way. I can appreciate that. He also got married, bought a house, and had the car out away from being convenient to work on for awhile, not to mention Michigan winters, so I sympathize with him to a degree.

And Jose, according to Bisi, the cam and compression should be OK, he just didn't have a good enough tune or spin it high enough yet.

lol, hey, if he's willing to go the extra million miles, more power to him! I know I couldn't.

I appreciate all your comments and consider you all friends, even Josey with his whitty humor and I sometimes feel like smacking the brown off him. I know that in the end, you are all eager like myself to get this bastard of a car on the road.

It is winter here, but I will degree the camshaft, will have money saved up by then to tune. I am considering a different tuner as well. It will be on the road this year d**nit!! My dream is to drive this down to Florida for one of the big meets, with or without my wife!

Thanks for the kick to the balls...I know I need it.

I'm really not worried about the coolant temps as much as I write, just speaking my mind is all. Priority is degree the cam & retune, then move forward with coolant temps if needed. Perhaps I don't have to do anything?!

I do plan to improve one aspect of the motor further in the future and retune, then be done with this project and fully enjoy. That is in the distant future, I'll probably enjoy driving it for a while before I move onto that.

Finally, after all these years, it finally seems about ready to roll for real. I remember reading up on this puppy two years back and saying, "Wow, I can't wait to see what happens with this project." I know you've spent plenty of time, money and feelings getting this project done.

Keep up the good work.

Man I cant to see what this beast puts down!!
Any updates cisco??

I did note when driving the car this time, that when cruising down highway at about 70-75 mph (3000-3500 RPMs), then the coolant temps were at about the 195 F mark. However, when I downshifted and raised the RPMS to like 4000-4500 RPMs, I noticed the ECT start going down. So temps may change after further tuning, we'll see.

I was just thinking about this and i had the same problem when i finished my build where my temps would go quite high at a cruise but at higher rpms it would drop. I found that i had my fan wired backwards so it was pushing air against the radiator rather than drawing air through the radiator. may not be your problem but something worth mentioning.

Thanks for the tip, but all is good. My fans both turn CCW when facing them, which draws air through radiator into engine bay.

It is funny that my 1991 Accord Helms manual actually has you test the fans for working properly, incorrect. They say to put battery positive on the black ground wires, which runs them backwards (CW facing fans). Wonder how many people catch that.

The build is looking awsome, I also remember about 2 years ago when I stumbled upon this thread, and it has been an inspiration for me since then. Keep up the good work Cisco! Any plans for video / sound clips?

I remember when you were planning on using a DOHC F22B head for this build, I'm glad it's a full F22A though

[cloudasc]

I think this ^ guy is making fun of me....had to throw in the 2 yrs ago comment eh?!?! I'm sure I'll take videos and photos when I'm on the road with this car.

On the flip side, I'm starting to get PM's from some OG's that are threatening me to wrap up this project or else!!

lol, I wasn't making fun of you, I know the biggest stall was waiting for the bisi header, plus you had your Red build, and a wife and kids . Your only one person afterall.

I admire your devotion and detail to accuracy on all the work you do, and I really appreciate all the pictures you provide from before and after. I am pretty sure you'll be burning through tires at the track sometime this summer!

Wow, that was a long time ago! Yes, I bought that head from Juan/Phatdoughnut and it was mint! However, I sold it a while back to a friend that never used it either.

Yea, I was just giving you a hard time for giving me a hard time. Although, I do not have kids....yet. I do ponder the time when they get their first used car and I modify it a bit.

Wrap up this project. Or else.

By the way, have you met my cousins Bruno and Guido?
