wow this is a total noob question.....lolz. ill help ya out.

the intake manifold is a part on our cars in which intake air gets sucked into the motor. basically the intake manifold is this.....



the difference between the f22a1 and f22a6 intake manifold are the runners and the flaps inside.



f22a6 intake mani


its #4

and f22a1 intake mani



see how one has 4 holes and the other has 8?

the 4 holes are alright, but for more airflow at 4,000rpm +, honda designed the f22a6 intake mani. what happens is when your driving down the road, the flaps are closed, as soon as you hit 4k, the computer sends a signal to a vacuum box, which pressurizes the valve on the side of the intake mani to open the flaps. when this happens it increases the amount of air entering the motor.

what you need to convert to a6 mani is:

pt6 (accord ex) computer
vacuum lines
the vacuum box
intake mani
egr plugs
heres a nice diy

DO u need a a6 head to work with the a6 intake mani?

i should no this buy now but i dont

[deevergote]

That really is one hell of an explanation! That's the kinda stuff the guys who know the answers need to start doing here in the Beginner Forums. If all questions were answered like that, the "noob" level of this site would drastically decrease!

[wvcb7]

i agree with you deev, it also makes it nice when there is no smart @ssness i think you informed him well without making him feel stupid. Bump for kindness

[deevergote]

That's how it should be. That's why people get banned for being jerks in the Beginner Forums

When I started, I knew nothing at all. I wanted to hook a turbo up to a switch so I could have power and save gas. I learned. Everyone else can learn... they just need people to teach them, not belittle them! Responses like quickangel93's are exactly what we need. cleanjdm now knows just about everything there is to know about the manifold he asked about. Not only was his question answered very thoroughly, but now HE can help someone else with the same question!

no, the head is the same design as the a1. the only thing is different is the cam.

The A6 also has different valve springs, as the part numbers are different. Probably slightly stiffer. Not really a huge deal.

so should i get the springs and liftersfrom an a6?

you you should just get a head. much easier than taking everything apart.

[deevergote]

Very true. F22A6 heads aren't very expensive.

haha look what i found, it kinda relates a little bit

F22a6 w/ H22a1 plenum and TB swap
