swapping in an F22A6 cam and PT6. explain this!!!

[LowNknoxville]

Picked a cam and ecu out of an F22A6 today at the junk yard.
#1 will it do any good to swap it in my A1 as is? Or hurt anything?
#2 is there anything else I should pick off the junker (motor)? I wish I could buy the whole motor. It only had 116k on it.
#3 I already have dc headers, full exhaust, cold air. what's next?

A6I've read that. What's the black box? Is it part of the A6 or part of the h23 IM?

[reklipz]

The black box is for the IAB on the intake that is in both the F22A6 intake and the H23 intake.

For the cam, you don't need it. For the cam, you should get the matching ECU as it is tuned for the A6 cam; though you can use the F22A6 cam with the F22A1 ECU without any significant issues. You should grab the F22A6 valve springs, though.

I think i might go back and get the whole head. Isn't there something about the I'M runners?

[SOHC-FTW]

A6 valve spring's are like a 1-2lb difference not a big deal. The a6 cam work's with the a6 IM so yes if you want to convert your a1 to an a6 get the IM, IAB box, and pt6 ecu. Regardless if you go with an a6 IM or run a h23 plenum and want to run the IAB's right you need the ecu and box.

Alright cool. So one last question were is this "black box" located? Lol

It's mounted on the underside of the F22A6 IM runners.

Im just gonna grab the entire IM

The black box is actually the vacuum control box on the firewall, but I think you need the bypass control valve.

There is nothing mounted on the bottom of the A6 runners other than a brace:

Actually, most folks refer to the black vacuum control box on the F22A6 as just that, and it is indeed the "bypass control solenoid valve" in that diagram. In fact, both the "bypass control solenoid valve" and the "intake control solenoid valve" are the same part, and I believe they mount the same way, meaning you could pick that up instead and make it work.

This is incorrect. The first and second images you posted are intended to convey vacuum wiring only, not really mounting locations. The second image doesn't show the mounting location for the "intake black box," but I can assure you it most definitely is mounted on the underside of the runners.

That's odd, someone relocated my "black box" then on my F22A6. I have not seen it bolted to my runners. On my coupe it is bolted to the firewall.

That is interesting. It's possible Honda changed the mounting location during the facelift (92-93) or something I suppose, but I doubt it. Do you mind taking a photo? I'd be curious to see where it's mounted, .

Regardless, at least he's got his answer. Good work team!

Yeah, if I'm not dead tired when I get off work in 10 hours I'll take a photo.
