How does This affect smog?

This is an awesome post. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how this affects getting it smogged. I would love to do this until I do an H swap but wondering if I should keep my stock parts for smog purposes?

It should pass with no problems, all the parts you will be using are from the higher model CB's.

Cool, I'm going to start searching for the parts then, Thanks.

Would a h22 head fit on my f22a1 block? would that be a good way to go if i wanted to get more power out my cb? also would the h23intake manifold still fit if i have the h22 head on there? would i have to change the ecu if i do these mods?

putting a high revving head onto a block that should and doesnt see over 65ooRPMs wouldnt be smart. just dont do it. if you want more power than that then build the F22a or swap in a H series.

I live in nor cal kinda between tahoe and sacramento. my local junkyards are all in the same area, but ive only contacted the honda only guys over the phone. thanks for the tip man

you talking about HAP in Rancho Cordova near Sac? these guy are really expensive, they sometimes charge as much as brand new genuine Honda parts from the dealer for used parts. I would only go to them if it is my last resort.

you should go to the pick and pull in Sac, or in Fairfield.

U prob. live in the boonies though, where u drive on the highway to get everywhere.

I got 30 MPG in my Maxima on long road trips. I got 16 MPG, same exact car, in the city

Used to live in the boonies yep. I miss the wide open roads. I am in suburbia now (near Pittsburgh) the roads stink up here!

OBX Performance intake manifold?

Can you use a "OBX" H23A Honda Prelude Performance intake manifold? And Would it fit as easy as the stock h23a intake manifold swapping on the 93' accord. and last but not least, would it add performance?

No not a bad idea at all. For the money you spend you will be happy.

the F tranny. its geared more for economy than performance.

oh...and instead of getting a cheapie ebay muffler and having a local shop make your piping....i would much rather just get a megan racing catback....i had one on my civic and it was nice ....the cb7 n/a type cat backs are 245.00 bux at www.lsdmotorsports.com and they got real good service.....i don't know if their headers would be better than the f22a4's but i had them too and they worked fine (no cheap welds)

[hardcorepunkme]

damn thats what i got a h2u5 and its the same....4000 rpm's goin 80 on 5th....well,i guess those short gears'll come in handy if i ever plan to drag...lmao
