I have a 1993 EX coupe 5 speed. I tryed looking up what motor is in it but cant figure out for sure. could anybody tell me? i know this is a stupid question.

I think it should be a f22a6.
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that is what they are suppose to have.

Thats what i was thinking but i wanted to find out sor sure before i start working on it.

There is a flat plate on the front of the engine block that says what motor it is. You might have to scrape off some grease to see it.

lol wow...why won't you check the block?

if everything is stock...then its for sure a f22...2.2L...if you need like the "a6" or whatever just check the block, it should be left from the exuast manifold...

for the most part, basic modifications won't be any different between the a1, a4, or a6. the only thing big things that come into play are the camshaft (yours being bigger and better than the others), the ecu, and the intake manifold (once again yours being better)

I knew it was an F22 but i wasnt sure if it had the A6 cam or not cause if it was just the A1 i was gonna go to the junkyard and try and pick one up.

And the exhaust manifold.

What should be the first thing i could upgrade that would make the most difference on my small budget?

[xaaronx]

is it different? i had thought the a1 and a6 used the shitty, restrictive cast one while only the a4 had the tubular manifold? not saying you're wrong, that's just what i had thought

there are a lot of threads on this but here's a basic guide

you'll see this abbreviation a lot "I/H/E". that stands for intake, header, exhaust. those are the basic first upgrades. you'll get a small but noticeable gain out of them depending on what brand and design you go with. for that, i'll let you go ahead and use the search button. most brands and designs have been covered.

Nope I'm not wrong. All 3 are different. The A1 uses a cast "manifold" type, the A4 uses a tubular "header" type, and the A6 uses a cast "header" type.

The A4 is the best, followed by the A6, and the worst one is the A1

A1


A4


A6

trust me i have looked at alot of these threads but there is so much there its almost overwhelming.

No problem. I just updated my post with pics so you can see the difference
