build up of JDM F20B DOHC VTEC

[fatboy1185]

so i want to start an all motor build up of my F20B, my goal is to get somewhere around 200-220whp by summer. then possibly add some nitrous, but who knows...so anyone with suggestions feel free!!

i know a lot of the h22 parts swap over, but i know the valves dont!! this is from the ground up, from exhaust, to cam work..so everything is open for disscusion!!

this thread will be used until summer time, when my goal will hopefully be met!!! thanks in advance!

what engine management are u going to use? a complete AEM type setup or something simple like the Hondata ones?

[fatboy1185]

its running hondata right now, ill probably change it out though

IF you are running to around 200-220 whp then Hondata will suffice. What do you have the s200?

i think he has the s100 unit. thing is, he doesnt have the software.

Eli, you should buy the software and I can tune for you.

anyways, ask Juan about any shops around oregon or you may have to send out your head to a reputable shop.

to start, I'd say some cams to open up that long power band, then some exhaust work to compliment it.

yes, you can tune for me indeed, should i wait until i have more mods? or tune now?? why would i want to send my head out?? so i can have the h22 valves fit??? also, do you mean cam gear? cam shaft??

should i go straight to that before i add bolt ons? wont i need to get it tuned right after i do cam work??

[d112crzy]

yea dude, you dont need new valves. if anything, just get oem valves and then get a valve job done.

i meant cam shafts. and no, you dont HAVE to get it tuned, but it would be very wise to do so. especially if you get very aggressive cams.

oh, btw, over sized valves should be the last thing on your mind as they wont really help much with low hp.

get head work, camshafts, throttle body, intake mani or itb's, exhaust work, and tuning. if you want, get higher compression.

Its not running the s100 unit because it wasnt running right, i had to burn a map with uber data to run it.

I heard that shop over at EL auto parts does a good job, alot of those hot rodder guys go there. last time i wanted to get my head done the guy said 350.

I think we should use Uber or chrome. I plan on buying a wideband some time after i sell my wheels.

and I plan on buying crome pro. its comparable to hondata

neptune ftw bitches juan didn't you say eli is running the map i played with and am running? joser found me a crome map that looks pretty good i'll be playing with soon too

[d112crzy]

its actually uberdata dude. I opened it up the other day and it didnt look like anything normal. so then i opened it up with uber and bam, it looks good.

anyways, neptune doesnt have rtp according to 2point6, so ill be going with crome pro. its cheaper anyways, lol

weird i found one in the crome section and it opened up fine and looked right...neptune does have rtp, it's just not turned on yet, they are working on the final software patch which enables it

[fatboy1185]

what throttle body and intake mani should i be using?? for all my cam stuff, im thinking about using the h22 skunk2 stage 2 stuff, all of it should fit (cam gears, cam shaft, retainers, springs) right??

i still need to figure out why my idle is bouncing so much, it bounces from 200 to 3000 at random times....

clean out your fiv and iacv. cmon eli, search damnit!
