engine upgrade question

[f22a1accord]

im putting in a jdm f22a into my cb7 for daily driving wise but im still gunna run my CAI, and header/ exhaust. but what else can i do to get a little more performance out of this engine without going into alot of money or building it. cause im building my stock motor already, i just want more seat dyno haha

[The-Gr8-Ox]

well, you got the big three already done, and there really going to help that motor breath.
other than getting alittle dirty, maybe a cam, msd, h23 im and spacers.

good luck

[h22sparkle]

hmm interesting

[f22a1accord]

thanks guys. i mean it will be alright for what it will be. and i do want to do the h23 intake manifold and spacers. but i guess that will have to do til i get my evo III 16g on my soon to be build f22a1

[The-Gr8-Ox]

i'd say if you can, do the h23 im and spacers before you put tho motor in, will be alot easier to install !

oh yea i gotcha. hell i might go into portmatching just for a little extra lol

[The-Gr8-Ox]

go for it, port matching does help, you'll never notice it, but your engine will love you for it!

I'd get it port matched. A H23 itake manifold with a bored tb. Also a Bisi stage 2 cam would be a great add to the build too with a good tune.

im not looking to build the jdm f22a im just outting it in for dd use. im just trying to get a little out of it while i turbo my f22a1 im pulling out. but my question would be do i have to have a tune to run a cam on a stock head or engine at that.

[93F22A6]

I think you have to have a tune. It should run, but if you drove it or anything of that nature it could damage the engine. So yes you would need a tune with a cm. Best bet is if it's just a DD then get the PT6, A6 cam, and A4 header. Then boom you have a good bit more power then what the stock A1 had.

he already has a header, plus he's putting a jdm f22a motor in, that cam is better than the A6 i believe

[f22a1accord]

thats what i was thinking but i am mounting my new clutch and 11.5lbs flywheel to the jdm f22a when it comes in!

you could always put a H23 tranny in your car... shorter gears = faster acceleration... and you would still get decent gas mileage.

sounds good to me

[f22a1accord]

my cousin's b16 tranny is geared short and he hates it plus omo i kinda like having the long gears, hell right now my 4th is pulling to 120 stock.
