Delta Regrind on Practically Stock F22A6 car?

[KINGPIN33]

Would a Delta regrind yield any gains or cause any problems with a F22A6 stock car with an intake? I read how some guy took an 272 regrind and installed it in his practically stock F22A6 without any idle problems and such.

Anyone have any experience?

delta regrinds, depending on which u get (262, 272, 282) yield around 20 hp maximum gain (on the 282)


however, the 282 is killer on ur valves


a 272 will give u around 10-15 hp gain, and wont be as hard on your valves.


hope i helped.

best believe you're gonna be looking into a chipped ECU

lol yeah that wouldnt hurt

So the 10-15hp gain is the improvement I would see from an A6 cam to a 272? The reason I ask this, is because when I see people posting the HP increases here on CB7tuner forum, they post 10hp to 20hp, but it depends which cam they are upgrading from(A1, A4, A6).

I'm just wondering if its worth it to upgrade from A6 cam to a 272 grind.

Did you guys upgrade from an A6 cam to a delta 272 regrind? Did you notice much difference?

Thanks

im not 100% positive, but i believe u see about the same gains from each camshaft.

search it, you never know what u may find.



oh and to answer your other question, i think its definatly worth it to get a 272

The 260 will have a stock Idle
The 272 will have a loopy idle
The 282 Will barely idle at 1k rpm, you will have to set your idle at 1500.

The 282 does dont clear the oil valley in the F22 head.

The 272 emphaise on the top end power more, and the 260 are for mid-range. The 282 is for racing basically.

It's best to pair any cam upgrade with a tuned ECU.

But it depends on what you want to do with the car that decides on the cam you choose.

whoa whoa whoa lol

a 200 hp f22 is gonna need more than bolt ons and a delta.


your gonna need boost, nos, or one hell of a build.

in all honesty a nice i/h/e (thats intake/header/exhaust) setup will only truely give you around a 30 hp maximum increase, and thats if u get top of the line everything.

that + a 282= roughly 40 extra hp.


say your accord has 110 before (i know i know, its 120 or 140 from the factory, right? but that goes down over time. that was 17 years ago lol)

so ur still only looking at MAYBE 140 or 150 hp...


see the dilemma?

[f20bracer]

yeah i get u guy thanx.. how about going with a single vtec head?? since i dont have the time and money to waist on a h22 head then how about a f22b1 head? and then adding a h23 intake manifold.. oh wait can that be done or do i a h22? and last how about the god old sr=traight swap for a h23 ? is it hard to do and wats beter off doin that or changing my head to a h22? thanx for the help im knew to accord always done civics jeje

[deevergote]

I should put this in my sig: single cam vtec sucks. The f22a head is considerably better. Don't be suckered by the VTEC.

Read Hondafan81's "red project" thread. That car has considerable work done to it, and is making about 145whp... It's his "mild" project, as he's shooting for 250whp with the white car he has... but still, that red one only makes 145 and it's heavily modified (and practically brand new... cisco is anal! ) 145whp is about 170 at the crank. Either way, you're going to need to surpass his setup to reach 200.

Also, for the cams... 272 is best for 5 speed, and 260 is best for auto. Also check out www.bisimoto.com for some camshafts as well. Bisi knows the F22A better than anyone.

can i ask what's wrong with putting a 272 on an auto? i was planning on getting it...

nothing to my knowledge, but keep in mind, thats adding a noticeable amount of power to a auto trans thats famous for being weak. add to much power, and ull break your transmission. i think it would be wise to invest in a 5 speed swap first.

[KINGPIN33]

I'm not sure if these Honda's have a factory tranny cooler, but would upgrading its size help cool it down for increased power levels?

Deveergote, for going from an A6 cam to a 260 grind. Will I notice any gains at all? I am thinking of just slapping in an 272 grind in place of my A6 cam, but the 10+hp added stress to the auto tranny will destroy it?
