jdm92_accorn : 1992 Accord LX

That's amazing.

fack thats fast. lol.

[jdm92_accorn]

It'll pick up a lot faster with the windows up. Its basically riding with a parachute open, lol.well I've decided for now I'm going to take a usdm F23A1 short block I got today and drop in new oem k24a2 piston. It'll put me at 2306cc & 11:1 compression which should be good for 197whp. Mmmm, mo powa, lol.

[Macaqueistrong]

Impressive..... Literally speechless.

[jdm92_accorn]

Well I ordered pistons today and dropped the block off. As soon as the pistons come on we can bore the cylinders and swap out the blocks on one of my weekends off. Parts and machine shop should be less than $500. I keep forgetting the 187whp was on a bad alternator.

Impressive..... Literally speechless.

x2...I need to take a ride in this beast someday.

Been thinking about rolling down to J-ville to see Tony (1990ex) soon so I wouldn't be too far away from you.

[jdm92_accorn]

just let me know. we have a small honda night once in a while. i know we've been wanting to all go to the track together so maybe we can work it out where we all meet at coastal plains.

here's a fun vid

iat 141 deg
full tank with windows down

damnnnnnnnn man you gotta bring this to jville!!!! my coupe is back on the road as of yesterday!!!!!

[jdm92_accorn]

got bored.

What's the mpg? Next summer I plan to have my motor go through a full oem rebuild, but was also considering upgrading a couple things along the way. I was thinking a stg2 bisi cam regrind along with my h23 Im, dc headers and 2.25 exhaust. Would I have to also pick up the valvesprings and retainers to go with them? If so i might just go stage 1 because im in cali and emissions is a cockblocker. I'm not aiming to do a whole lot, just a couple drop ins if they're affordable ish. Will probably run pt6 for a while, or forever hah.

[P5ylance]

I might also just follow carlos build a bit haha

[jdm92_accorn]

You should be able to run the level 2 without emission problems as long as you have a good cat, good rings and good valve seals. I got some bad news on my pistons. They showed two sets in stock but apparently there was only one in stock so the refunded my money. I'm kinda glad though. I think I might go with some CP slugs.

[P5ylance]

Alright I think ill go with a stg2, and some pro springs to match as well as the heatshielding gasket. How would increasing compression help? Like with boring out for type s h22 pistons.

[SanJoCaF22DrAcc]

That's the guy to talk to on choosing what components to go with. He has a great build with plenty of power. I have learned lots from 92accorn_accord.

[jdm92_accorn]

If your heart is set on h22 pistons I'd go with h22a4 pistons. With the h22 heads having a 53.8cc combustion chamber vs the f22's 50cc, along with the .45mm taller compression height of the h22 piston (31mm vs 30.55mm) the 10.0:1 pistons of the h22 become 11.6:1 in the f22. To be noted aswell, pistons with high domes causes hot spots on the pistons which decreases the resistance to detonation which means less timing and more fuel to prevent it. This will make passing emissions very difficult. So a high compression with a fairly flat top or dish piston and some good injectors with proper tuning can build power and pass emissions all day. how do you think all these newer cars do it? Personally I think RDX injectors and hondata S300 units coupled with a innovative wideband hard wired to the ecu is the most cost effective way to go. I guarantee if I was to put a v-band where my header meets my exhaust and add a catalyst converter I would pass cali emissions with 11.5:1 compression.
