Your rite but i believe that they mentioned it somewhere.. il give you a quick break down rite now tho... F22a1 -> F22a4, a1 has a 4-1 Header, where the a4 has a 4-2-1 header... Also the a4 has a Butterfly valve which opens up at a set RPM to let more air into the intake manifold, sort of a PRE-VTEC type thing... although its not VTEC.. Im not exactly sure the difference in the a6 tho.. i used to know but once i figured that my CB7 (before it got totaled) was a f22a1, i used to learn about that since it was what i had.. The a1 and A4 are very similar just different Header.

I can't beleive we have to go over the engines again:

F22A1: 1990-1993 DX/LX engine, 4-1 header, restrictive exhaust, and made about 125hp and 137 ft. lbs.

F22A4: 1990-1991 EX engine, 4-2-1 header, higher flowing exhaust, no secondaries on intake yet, made 130hp and 142 ft. lbs.

F22A6: 1992-1993 EX engine, 4-2-1 header, higher flowing exhaust, secondaries on intake, made 140hp and 142 ft. lbs.

IAB is not a "pre-vtec" thing. Honda's "pre-vtec" was their turbo cars. The last production turbo car being the 1987 Acura Legend 2.7 v6 Turbo. Turbo was dropped by Honda in 1987 in favor of the newer more promising "Vtec". Vtec making it's debuet in 1989 in the CRX SiR and the Integra (B16A).

OMG there was a turbo Legend? I must find one.

lol video was pretty impressive though for a bone stock 4g. But then again, I hear the DX has quite a bit of weight advantage over ex's and se's. Good driver though. A1 is still a pretty nice motor, I once timed my 0-60 run one cold night and it was right about 7 seconds, which ain't too bad for a 13 year old car w/ a automagik.

Even if the 92-93 EX's weighed the same as the DX while retaining the 140HP engine, and went against a 92-93 DX. you still couldn't say who would win.

the difference in power is so minimal that it is well within the standard deviation of 1/4 mile times. one run could be 16.5 while another could be 16.8. by the SAME driver. so basically to say that DX's are crap performance wise, is very ignorant.

PS - i'm talking about manual versions only. auto's are a different story.

sorry to ask this...but what's a seconary on the F22A6? i have one. What is it and what does it do?

i really hate to bring back a thread this old..but i just thought it was hilarious seeing what some people thought the differences in the motors were. kept making me laugh.

So if a bone stock dx can run that. what do you think my dohc non vtec F20a will run? any guesses? Takin it to the track this summer. Nice video.
