general h22a swap questions

[cb7rolln]

1. i am curious if i can use my manual tensioner from my f22ax ?
2. when going with a header i realize the jdm header flows very well already, so does anyone know of a reputable site to get the jdm downpipe?

thanks!

1st part you have to get new wheels/bearings for it though

lovely! that is just a honda dealership away! i might just try to ebay a h23ax manual tensioner i guess.

another question that has a quick answer is can i switch my brand new f22a1 distributor w/ a external coil to a h22a???
thanks

no youll need the H23 one.

You can switch out the internals.

Take out f22 dizzy guts, do the same with h22 dizzy. Put f22 guts in h22 housing. Done.

you guys are so helpful!!! i have a few more questions for the willing...

1. will a pair of stock type-s cams bring any significant gains?

2. what is the best bang for my buck as far as valve springs and retainers?

3. will a f22a1 serpentine belt work still? mine only has a few thousand miles on it.

1.probably not. get some decent aftermarket.

2. depends on what you want to do.

3. yes but arent they like 7 dollars?

not sure if slapping on some type-s/sir-t/euro-r cams will liberate any extra power.

the heads are different to begin with.
