Figure I'd post up here be the introduction forum. So here it goes. Picked up a 93 ex, 5 mt for 1500 bucks. It's really clean, leaks some oil, someone swapped a a1 into using the a6 manifolds.
My goals for this car is 125-130whp & 35mpg highway @70mph using mostly oem parts. I've picked up a full h23 manifold & throttle body so ill be swapping it over and doing the "double stack". Will be plugging the egr with an aluminum can, as well as deleting the coolant line a on the "fitv". It needs to have a 100% reliability and drive ability.
I plan to swap in the a6 cam I just picked up. And probably a cam gear and stock sized light weight pulleys. I have a full gasket kit & timing belt, water pump, tstat & hoses. It's all going on this coming weekend. I'll be pulling the balancing shaft belts at the same time.
So mod list will be,
First & foremost 100% reliable maintenance no oil leaks ect
17* (+2 over stock)
A6 cam w/ adjustable gear
H23 manifold 62mm prelude throttle body double stacked Iabs. Iabs will be working. (Tuned to open around 3000-3200rpm)
A6 cast 4-2-1 header
2.5" collector & cat into stock EX exhaust
Factory ported air box with a green filter
Balancing shaft delete
Lightweight stock sized pulleys
Headed out to grab my gasket kit now so when I get back ill post some pictures. One questions I've got is the stock a6 cam will pull to around 6200rpm or so. So for the manifold should I just go full long h23 runner & double stacked, or use the shorter a6 runners & double stacked with h23 plenum?
I'm thinking the h23 will give me more useable power since the car won't really be revved past 65-6800?
