stock rods

[90accord22EX]

this has probably been covered before and i tried searching but it isnt working that good right now but what kind of horsepower can the stock piston rods and piston hold up too

[bjaccord]

The rods are safe to 350 or so on a good tune, I've seen a video of an h23 (Same rods as f22) make 540whp before two rods shot out the side of the block.

Pistons are really yet to be determined, but I think within a year, people will be making 300whp on them, the closest yet is in the 280 range (For F series stuff)

im ganna take my blown f22a4 and i want to rebuild it with all new parts but i want to put new stock rods and pistons in it and see how much horsepower i can make with those without blowing it

[Djmoua]

so i guess from this thread..it's safe enough to add boost for the SOHC F22 like some already have?

[MyHonnaCB7]

This is pretty good improtant info for someone like me who doesnt want to have to put a whole lot of money in the engine to boost it, besides the actual turbo kit with the injectors 'n shyt.

[90accord22EX]

so it is safe to say that i would be able to make atleast around 300 hp on all new stock internals?

In theory yes you can make 300 hp on all new stock internals. But how long will it last is the question. You have to remember its brand new but its still weak. Its still stock. You can put a big turbo on there and it can blow that "new" setup very quickly.

Rings wont hold that power for long depending on motor. Some do some dont. But it all ends up to your tune how good it is.

im going to try and make around 300 hp on new stock internals. do you think i should just hone the cylinders or do you think i should bore it .020

[Rosko]

I think tuning is definately the key here, I'd feel safe at 300 hp with the rods though but its all in the tune. As for the pistons in my expierience its been the high rpm that really kills them. Since you have an f22 which is already sleeved why not run forged? Forged pistons probably wouldn't be all that much more expensive than the stockers anyways. just a thought.

[zhan28]

tuning is everything, you could have a built motor, and without a good tune you can blow it. and have a stock motor have a good tune and make more power. but yea, there's a guy in omaha that's building a 1000 hp f series, of course it's built...

[quickangel93]

you could make 400hps easy, with a good tune. thats comming from d112.

thanks i think im ganna stay with rebuilding it with new stock internals and i know 2 good places around me that are good with tunning and they do nothing but hondas and acuras
