Lee, I have my stock head out of the wagon coming available this week. Give me a call, so we can see if that is your problem.

I'd save up for the F22A head and do it once.

[Boost_Lee]

hah, thats like a years of savings after this past project! Keep in mind i'll need new intake mani, new turbo mani, and if its different at all, i'll need to move/change the downpipe and chargepipes. All that on top of the headswap parts and the $1500 head...

i think i can solve this spark issue for about 250 bux if i can score the head cheap enough

i might have the head you need. i will talk to my dad in the mourning and see if he still has that 96 accord with the f22b1 VTEC head on it. i will sell it to ya cheap if he still has it. how much would you spend for it shipped to you??

[Boost_Lee]

pm'd you back

thanks for the help everyone

[Boost_Lee]

going to measure a stock cam hournal diamter vs my cams journal diameter....im hopeing they match so i can just swap cams. If not, then the boost controller solenoid is going to be disconnected and i'll run 7 psi on this lil guy for the meantime.

[JDM_CB7_TX]

So any updates on her condition is it getting any better?

[Boost_Lee]

gonna pick up a cam from Alex tomorrow and see if mine measures the same so i can swap later.

trying to finish up the suspension this weekend, omnipowers should be nice and stiff

[JDM_CB7_TX]

nice thats always a plus.

[lowakkord]

dude have you ever gotten those ball joints in yet? i wanted to know how they worked out for you.

[Boost_Lee]

actually, im installing them this weekend. i waited to do all my suspension work at once, lol

[lowakkord]

^atta boy.

[Boost_Lee]

Got the coilovers installed yesterday and drove it around the neighborhood...wow. Stiff and I L-O-V-E it! Car is more responsive in accelerating and braking, and it take corners alot better.

Today I did my front sway bar endlinks and sway bar bushings as well. Just bought the universal kits and bought 2 5" bolts that fit the skinnier Energy Poly bushings.
as you can see, I've been needing to do this for quite some time...





before the coilovers...(eibach prokitand KYB GR-2s)



after...jacked up inthe air!





front still has wheel gap, but i have to figure out a way to lower it without losing my precious lip

still needtoinstall the upper balljoints, but thats for the weekend
