I recently got an f22a1 to replace my a4 that blew. It has 107k onn it, nice huh? anyway, I was just wondering if there is any secrets about this engine? any down falls, any up parts? I know the A1 exhaust manifold is shit so I am putting my A4 one on it. But is it a strong engine in comparison to an a4? Will my ECU work well with it? It's out of a 93 accord EX and honestly I'm kind of dumb about that year because that's the year they started boosting power a bit. Any advice? Oh, is advancing the timing that bad, doe is hurt it?

Unless he has the prelude a1 but you never know. EX usually came with the a4 for 90-91 and the a6 for the 92-93 models.

Does it matter if it came from a DX, LX, or EX? We know it's an A1 and that's all that matters. Anyway, you've already got the A4 exhaust manifold. Next try and get the A6 intake manifold and ECU. If you don't wanna do much work, get the P12 Prelude ECU. Good for another 10hp over the Accord oneOriginally posted by DoctorCipher...the beginner forum was created to provide a place for all the stupid ass questions to pile up and fester, kind of like huge globs of mayonnaise left in the sun for weeks at a time.

The only difference between the A1 you bought and the A4 you are replacing is the exhaust manifold.
If you put your stock A4 manifold on there, the engine will be identical to the one you are replacing.
The PT6 came out of a 91 SE or a 1992-1993 EX/SE. Just use the PT3 from your F22A4 and you will be fine.

I have an 93 f22a1. I have a pt6 ecu with a beefed up ignition system. You can feel the difference for sure. I also have a h23 intake mainfold that I'm waiting to get a throttle body for. There are a number of different mods you can do to your a1 to enhance the motor. Check out my members page to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
