i have decided to actually do a forged bottom end and have been thinking about using a h22 crankshaft, rods and 85.5 f22 pistons in a unsleeved f22 block.( dont plan on seeing anything over 20psi).i have a h22 crank,h23 head complete,f22 block,all i need is to figure out what crank/rod combo to go with? the only real reason i come up with for myself to go with the h22 combo is, piston speed! if i use the h22 crank/rod it uses a shorter stroke/longer rod setup. witch will give me more dwell time, lower piston speed, and lower piston speed means less stress at the same or higher rpm's! also with the dual cams i can adjust my cam overlap to help the scavenging effect and help improve the engines volumetric efficiency. that in turn will improve the overall performance of the engine. i am not looking to build a "dyno queen" or a "race car" rather a nice understated 400whp dd! the research i have done supports the 400whp goal, but i cannot find any results for a setup of this type. i have a knowledgeable tuner that is willing to take the time to "fine tune it" thank god! anyway, i dont have a issue with the f22 crank/rod/ratio other than rpm's, piston speed,and stress. i know you can turn 8k rpm with an f22 on boost, but a friend of mine and i were talking about this a week ago and he said had read somewhere that the piston speed in a f22@6500 rpm is higher than a b16@9k or a f1 car at 14k or something.i could not verify those #'s, but from the other honda builds i read through all the ones that used the 2.0l b series blocks and h22's all seem to make power more efficiently. now i know there is more to it than that (like head flow) but im going for efficiency and this seems like it to me.
all comments are welcome! please let me know your opinions,corrections, or criticism!! i will be ordering parts in 2 weeks ( thats when the machine shop said they wanted to start) just looking for other perspectives!!!
thanks
