f22a1 swapped to f22a6 ..no difference?

[accord=inspire?]

just swapped due to motor hit a pavement sheet on the road...

when i floor the f22a1 it bursts out power.... engine loud

when i floor the f22a6 it just increase acceleration like normal?

any inputs?

if you dont feel a difference then theres something that isnt hooked up. i know when i got my f22a6 swapped in it pulled harder than my a1. so im sure there should be a difference.

check all the wiring. check the to make sure the IAB black box under the IM is hooked up. and make sure you have the PT6 ECU. if you dont have the IAB box hooked up then hook it up to a vacuum somewhere on the IM so the IABs will open up(some may say just put a pin in the PT3 ECU but not everyone is a electrical person. lol).

check out the engine bay and make sure everything is hooked up. check your fluids, spark plugs, spark plug wires, oil, tranny fluid(make sure you put OEM honda ATF in there and nothing else.)

i jus did the same swap as you this week an my a6 pulls a shitload harder than my a1 !

think u did something wrong ???
or maybe ur a6 isnt running right ??
try a compression test ?

Do you have the A6 ECU? You are probably running the F22A1 ECU.

[wed3k]

because a loud motor doesnt mean it is faster...that would be called a noise maker.

^^^^

the f22a1 when i gun it,it explodes with touque but the f22a6 just increases accler like normal?

[foamypirate]

Like I said above, what computer are you running? Are you still using the PT3 that came stock with the car, or did you get the computer that goes with the A6?

[accord=inspire?]

i dont know, the shop did it

what if they didnt change it..so i still have 125 hp instead of 140?

[foamypirate]

Talk to them.

or pull on the carpeting and undo the panel and find out first hand what computer is in there.

no. lol. you'll still have the 140 but the motor wont be using it like its supposed to(if that makes any sense ) im thinking its just something aint hook up right. i know when i got my swap i still had the PT3 ECU and it still took off with more power. what kind of tranny do you have? auto or manual?

manual: the clutch might be slipping

auto, the VSS might be acting up(makes it seem laggy.)

[foamypirate]

no. lol. you'll still have the 140 but the motor wont be using it like its supposed to(if that makes any sense )

Uhh...no? The ECU is not providing the proper amount of fuel due to the bigger cam. He is NOT making 140hp.

[deevergote]

The motors are 14 years old or older... NONE of them are likely to be making their full power anymore.



Get the proper ECU. Especially if your IAB system isn't working (that would provide more high end power). Do a compression test to make sure your motor is good.

Finally... you may have had a freak F22A1. It happens. My friend's mom's F22A4, which is automatic, feels a HELL of a lot stronger than his old modded F22A1. Supposed to be a 5hp difference, and his A1 was manual... but the A4 in that auto was a beast.

[oranger]

Too many variable too account for in here:
- Wear on the A6 vs. the A1
- Computer
- Correct swaping (hooking up all sensors, vacuum lines, etc correctly)

Those are a few quick ones that come to mind! Check the ECU. That would keep you making roughly the same amount of power OR less than the A1 because it will not have correct fuel control for your cam/IAB/injectors.
