He can't. Not for another 18 posts. Check the rules.



Anyway, what "vtec" do you want to get? Anything but the H22A or F20B is a waste of money. The stock motor actually has a good deal of potential, you just have to modify it.

And yes, there are aftermarket parts for just about EVERY Honda engine. The H22 has the most performance parts available. The F22A (your stock motor) probably has the second largest amount of good parts.


Before you yank that F22A, be aware that Bisi Ezerioha is making about 423hp with his F22A, naturally aspirated. There are people making upwards of 400hp on turbo F22As as well. Possibly over 600hp.

Yes, I realized that. But, I'm betting he's not planning on an engine swap within the next week. By the time he's ready for a swap, he SHOULD have more that 30 posts...

"I'm not getting everything I want out of my stock motor"

of course not, you didn't by a twin turbo'd supra; you bought a family sedan. The f22's certainly do have a lot of potential and most f22's can lay the smack down on civics if lightly tuned.

I certainly would reconsider your need for vtec and look more into how much of a monster the f22 can become.

Just to point you in the right direction; you may want to consider:
-the common intake, header, exhaust combo
-cam regrind
-ecu chip
-many parts off of the h motor can also be adapted to our car.
-and weight reduction; probably the only free performance upgrade you can do to your car.

just search around the different threads and you'll see.

best of both worlds?? before 5200, and after 5200?? lol


to the poster, do you have any mods done to your current engine, and how much money do you realisticly have to spend

[quickangel93]

dude. get a bisi cam, port and polished head, h23 intake mani, h23 transmission, and slap a dsm kit on that.

right now im making 243hp on a stock engine. get yourself a turbo dude.

or, do all of the above, plus slap some forged pistons and rods in there, and crank up the power to around 350whp

Yeah, actually it is. Civilized and efficient, with F22 power below 5200 and a lot more powerfull above 5200.

VTEC is like having a race cam and a "granny" cam in one.


That being said... I'm going to go drive mine.

what you need is a small block chevy.

thats a good joke..

anywaiiizz, ExCoupe92 is right that our F22's do have a lot of potential; just a little tuning and a few mods and you'll be satisfied. our F22A's can go deep into the B-Series territories, you just gotta know what your doing.
