Cisco NA F22 non-VTEC SOHC Project - Full Street White

[HondaFan81]

I see how it is, top secret with all the pricing involved.

It'll all pay off, and if you know 'cisco, then you know he's very thorough about everything he does.

If there's one thing I can garuntee, when this car is done it's going to drive like it just rolled out of the factory, even though it's got thousands of dollars worth of work invested in it....and even though he's had a few run ins with the curb and the grass and what not.

You'll never live it down, Francisco

Thanks for the compliments Jim. I don't find it a good idea to state how much I spent for various reasons.

So is this gona be a circuit racing car? will it beable to keep up with soys circuit racer? need feed back..

My car actually has significant engine mods and would totally punish his car guaranteed. Even someone that didn't really know how to drive can't lose. I will autocross it and road race it occassionally. I can't afford or have the time to do it professionally or weekly, etc. Perhaps in the warm months like once a month or so. Besides, the more you get into seriously road racing, I've realize you WILL crash or have accident, it's just a matter of time. Realizing this (took a while for me to accept that)...I've also realized I can't deal with the pain of seeing this car balled up cuz I hit a wall or something. I'll still race it I'm going to try and not put myself in this possible situation to wreck it in racing. If I wanted a hardcore road racer...I'd honestly buy a beater Accord (wouldn't care about body & rust) with a good engine, keep the mods simple...like headwork, cam, TB, P&P intake manifold, off-shelf header, 2.25" exhaust...basically what I'm doing with the red accord...that way I would not feel as bad wrecking it and not have dropped as much money into it. Besides if you wreck you can swap over all the good engine parts & start over.

hey i just noticed u have a similar suspension setup as me, do ur upper control arms bang at all in the front??

My upper arms have Ingalls camber kit (poly bushings) and squeak sometimes taking inclines. My arms did not bang when I first got my koni shocks and still don't.

Man, 12.5:1 compression. I can't wait to see the dyno numbers you put up. And if they're ridiculous, I'm definately gonna follow suit with some headwork and pistons.

You and me both buddy! I'll definitely have this car dynoed. Perhaps the red as well at some point in time.

argh i want pics now dammit can't wait...i'm an impatient mf i tell ya

Indeed, congrats. I read some post and I noticed the title of Moderator underneath, and I thought to myself when did that happen.
And I also want to see that IM in and out. I wish I could see the effect of just that part being added.
And I just posted in your pulley thread under general performance about UR.
And every week, the more I read your threads and a few others, the closer I become to following suit with a N/A / NOS build in Spring. It's all about the money.

Things are looking good man. What's the diff. between Accord and Prelude calipers? Would I be wise in going for some VTEC calipers, or just upgrading to EBC level pads?

If things line up, it's for the purpose of being able to fit the 1.0" larger Prelude rotors and I assume the caliper pistons to be larger than Accords as well.

What is it you like about the HAWK brake pads?

Good braking, minimal brake dust and no noise whatsoever.

Hmm i've seen most of this thread and it seems like this is gon be one bad ass all-motor f22a. Hope to see it up and running soon, I wanna see this monster in action . I'm waiting on the red one too, that cb looks like its going to be fun . Laterrr

[HondaFan81]

Nice! I'm curious about this PST front motor mount, I may have to research that since I've never heard of it! No pressure, but when might we be seeing those H23 plenum pics?!!!!!

Yea, I purchased two of them PST front motor mount inserts is what they are. Anyhow, they are on backorder I was told, so it will be another week or so to receive them.

H23 plenum pics will be taken when I receive them. It will be port-matched to the 69mm @ butterfly TB I have.

both ecu's chipped...testing tomorrow

[gloryaccordy]

Man this project motivates me so much...keep up the good work Cisco!!!!

I've been working on something in Matlab to model suspension reactions with changes in spring and shock rates...I'll keep ya posted...

Was bored, ran some #'s for my JDM H22 5-spd transaxle and what to expect for some basic street/HWY speeds (yes I consider 100+mph as common )

Wheel & Tire size: 205/50 R16

3.307 1
1.950 2
1.360 3
1.034 4

This is one sick project you have going. You have definitely fueled my passion for the f22 even more. Keep up the good work, and have fun when both projects are finished!

be careful with the b&m fuel gauge. I've followed a couple of setups where the glass eventually cracks and leaks fuel. Just setting the pressure or testing to ensure pressure is there will be fine

Note taken. I think I have a solution for this or upgrade.

Thanks for the heads up Antoine, good look.

EDIT: Bought Summit liquid-filled fuel psi gauges for both red & white projects. No problems after 3 years of use.
