Best ACCORD Performance Mod!

[sheevington]

What do you guys think is the best performance mod you can do to a 92 accord Lx with a F22a1 in it. Other than forced induction.

Money.

did you quote yourself in your sig phil? lol, loser.

anyways, id say about 1k of head work can get you some pretty nice gains.

H22 swap.

H22 swap.

fo sheezy.

h22, 272 regrind, headwork, porting, bottom end work twords high compression, nitrios, header, exhaust. its quite obvios, theres no special, mistirios mods

If you don't have all the money for an h22 swap just put an exhaust and headers.

A good mod for your motor (keeping block and head) would be to mill the head. An F22a6 or esp. H23a1 IM will help alot too. Many other things can help but take your time and research what you want to do

[GREENCB3]

You could also swap ur f22a1 headers and intake manifold for f22a6 ones they flow better.You could find them in junkyards.

^Yes, also the best header is found on the F22a4, it's a tubular mild steel header as opposed to the cast F22a6 manifold. Maybe mod. the stock downpipe w/ a larger collector too.

I said this on Z mods. It just made sense to carry it for a sig over here. It applies more towards noobs here than it did over there.

Based on experience, I would recommend the F22A4 (1990-1991 EX) exhaust manifold, and the F22A6 IM (or the H23 manifold) and cam first. You could also pick up an Accord EX exhaust, or after market cat-back, which should both be a little freer flowing.

The A6 manifold will be much easier to find and the runners are better for HIGH RPM power than the H23 runners.

I would also recommend an H22/H23 plenum and TB swap on F22A6 runners, which is documented on here in the DIY section, as is the A6 and the H23 manifold swap.

They collectively made a huge difference, and could be had for less than $300. They will outperform pretty much all of the other mods mentioned, with the exception of possibly headwork. But if you have headwork done, and the intake/exhaust manifold is still restrictive, you aren't getting the maximum benefit for your $$. They are also cheaper, and could probably be done by a do it yourselfer, or would make a VERY good learning experience.

After that I would consider a Delta Regrind and a modified stock exhaust manifold/header and cat.

If you have the money, start with an H22, or boost (although achieving this successfully long term, is harder).

NOx also works miracles, and could be of benefit in addition to the stuff listed above.

There goes ur answer right there^
