The motor is unique, it's rare, it's an easy swap, and it was in my budget. The engine is designed to be very rev happy. The bore is the same as the F22Ax, yet the stroke is significantly shorter. With a set of Bisimoto camshafts I plan on putting in, this thing is going to SCREAM! Throw a 75 shot of nitrous into the mix, and the H22 guys aren't going to stand a chance.:evil:

With this project, I am going for three things.

1. Uniqueness - I have already achieved this going with the F20A DOHC, and I will stray farther away from the crowd with my N/A build and the spray. The fact that I'm using Bisimoto cams in this motor alone makes me unique, considering not many people go with the Bisi cams in the first place. Then throw in the fact that I'm on an automatic transmission, and it's a whole new ball game. A lot of you guys don't know the obstacles involved when modifying an engine with an automatic transmission. It is a lot more complicated than a 5-speed, and the complications don't just stop with engine management. You also have to take into consideration base idle problems, shifting, the TCU, etc. Unique, has definitely been achieved.

2. Reliability - First of all, the engine is basically being refreshed to the condition it was in when it came out of the factory. Then I also have a new transmission to replace my old tired one. The nitrous kit I am going with is perfect from a "reliability" standpoint. The ZEX single fogger kit, comes with everything needed for a reliable set up.
A 75 HP shot (which is rated at the flywheel by ZEX, instead of at the wheels like other companies.) is very conservative for my engine, if you take into consideration the 15% loss through the drivetrain. Reliability right there, again. Now lets take into account my route for tuning. Instead of using a chipped ECU and tuning with some program that may or may not work with my automatic transmission, I'm going a smart route and using my PT6, which will operate my new motor fine, controlling the IABs and such. The only consequence of running the PT6 is that it will run the new motor rich, if I ran it stock. But I'll be using an AEM FIC controller, which I will use to dyno tune for N/A and nitrous settings. I'll be able to tune on one setting for N/A and adjust the air/fuel ratio accordingly, along with the timing. Then with the AEM unit I can toggle between two settings with the flip of a switch, so I will be able to tune for nitrous seperately, and adjust the air/fuel ratio accordingly, and then the ignition timing again. This way, I will not sacrifice power when running N/A by only having one setting and having to run with retarded timing or run rich when I'm not on the bottle. Reliability, there as well. This amongst other things will help me achieve that reliable, daily driveable, yet still fun performance without having to worry about breaking anything.

3. "Sleeper" - Yes, I am sick of cops looking at me and trying to find reasons to pull me over. So I am going to start "downgrading" the appearance so that it looks "factory" to the untrained eye, yet SICK to any car enthusiast. My simple Seattle Silver and Black theme I'll have going is really going to look good. It'll be very nice, and very clean. A straight up 1992 Honda Accord 2.0Si is all anybody will see. My Black 16" rims will be the only hint to the untrained eye that my car isn't any ol' Accord. I don't know how to explain it, but when it is all done, you guys will understand. I'm sure you'll love it too.:evil:

REAL men drive civics or integras. and they have to all kinda look the same.
lol dumb accords. are you kidding.


.....wait....

Also, are u pulling the motor off that car since it was rebuilt?!... I mean, if you going to get another honda, might as well keep the motor since it's "brand new", and obviously, that in a civic or integra is going to make them move.
