Need engine info please.

Hey guys I was wonder what is the difference between all the F22's. I have heard all kinds of things. I have a FA22A1 and was wondering if swapping parts from other f22's will help my power of what they do. I am thinking I may want to turbo but I also like the idea of all motor.

Do you mean all F22s or all F22As?

While most people don't prefer wiki for information purposes, you might find this useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_f_engine

However adding parts from other F engines alone isn't going to turn your car into a speed demon, at least not reliably.

When you ask questions like this you make it completely obvious that you didn't do any searching whatsoever. This forum has been around for a long time and has all of your answers very easily accessible. Your time spent here will be much more enjoyable if you stop being lazy and use the information here to its ability.

The F22A1 is the baseline F22A engine offered in the US and Canada and makes 125hp.

The F22A4 is different only in the fact that it has a tubular header in a 4-2-1 design and slightly larger diameter exhaust. It makes 130hp with those differences.

The F22A6 uses a more aggressive camshaft, a dual-runner intake manifold, a cast 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, windbags tray and oil cooler on the automatics. It uses the PT6 ECU to accommodate these changes. It makes 140hp.

There are plenty of other upgrades you can do to bump power but I'll leave discovering them to you.

Thank you guys that was informative.

You are right I did not use the search feature. There a two reasons for that:
1. Every time I have used the search I got a lot of crap that was not helpful. (I am talking about other sites)
2. I am trying to get more post up so I can experience the full potential of this site.

I do want to make more power that is reliable. I am on an extreme budget. My wife doesn't understand why I want to change my car. Then again she isn't a gear head.

I do not want to go crazy with power. It will be a daily driver. When I do start building my engine I will but an used block and build it from the oil pan up.

put in the a6 cam along with the pt6 ecu. then swap out your a6 runners along with the iab black box. then get you an h23 TB and plenum and an ebay header and downpipe or just an a4 header and downpipe you should make about 30 more horse IIRC

The post count feature does not exist simply to be circumvented. I understand your point, but don't. You'll be there soon enough following the rules and conventions.

There is no such thing as the "full potential" of this site. You can read every topic on the boards, you just can't post in all of them. If you had 30 posts all I'd be doing is answering the same stuff you're asking now, just in a different forum. Also use this forum's search feature and I promise if you invest 5-10 minutes of looking you can find your answers.

If you are on an "extreme budget" then you're going to find yourself disappointed by adding the parts RyanD suggested. At best you're maybe looking at around 130whp after a good tune. If that's not what you had in mind you might want to put your money into that used block first.

To also add to Jarrett's comment, if we do catch you spamming up the Beginner's Section, your count can be reset. So keep that in mind. Trust me 30 posts will come sooner than you know it.

Hey RyanD, if u put just the A6 cam WITHOUT the pt6 ECU, what kind(s) of problems will happen?

[wed3k]

nothing will happen lol

It is not advised to directly bolt on a turbo on a natural aspirated engine. Since company fitted turbo engines have strengthened engine parts like crankshafts, valves etc, retrofitting a turbo may not give desirable results unless you work on those components as well. This will be quite time consuming and may expensive too, hence you may get a replacement engine from the likes of spam.net/usedengines which will be quite affordable and be assured with a warranty too.

I hope you're not advertising for a vendor here.....

So cb7tuner turned into this new country that's being dictated?...

OP-I/H/E

Intake header and exhaust...combined with F22A6s camshaft, intake manifold and ECU then you'll have a fun little car.

A stock F22A1 is slow compared to a F22A6 with bolt ons...

Then again you slap a P12 ECU on a F22A1 you'll get a little torquey monster...but we haven't gotten there yet have we

[GhostAccord]

In order to make power reliably you have to spend money. Bolting on intakes and headers, swapping cams and ECU's may get you 15-20 Hp. Hardly what I would call a big gain for your time invested. This is all depending on the health of your engine to begin with.

If you want big power for your money... start doing some research into forged pistons and a turbo setup.

[g22paul1]

Don't forget about the tune you can do all those mods listed but without a tune it will be worse than stock chipped and tuned p28 will always make some extra power with a good tuner

What's up with this thread attracting all the used engine website spam?

Handled.

And that means... what?
