Basically, I have a '95 CD7 accord. It isnt much right now other than a greddy catback and a rebuilt head. I am new to the car world and I dont have much experience with tuning or "enhancing" a car mechanically in any way. How difficult would it be and what all is required in tuning my stock F22B1? Thank you.

If it's stock it doesn't require tuning. Other than that there are all kinds of OBD1 ECU chipping and tuning threads that you could search and read through.

Your stock ECU cannot be tuned, you will need a chipped OBD1 ECU, there are all kinds of places that sell them and the hardware and software to get yourself started.

Xenocron Tuning: Fuel Management and DIY Tuning Resource Center for Honda and Acura Performance - Hondata, eCtune, Neptune, Crome, TurboEdit, Uberdata is one that I use all the time for my tuning needs. Visit this site and click on the TECH Center link at the top. All kinds of how to write ups there.

Do you mean tuning your ECU or are you thinking of tuning as in "I want to make my car go faster"?

GhostAccord

With these cars tuning is commonly computer related, it's hard to make these cars go faster without computer tuning. That being said, if you add components and you have the ability to monitor ST and LT fuel trims, you can make some changes to the fuel and ignition systems mechanically to aid in adding power. I.E, if you add intake, header and exhaust and you see that your fuel trims are +10%. Then adding a fuel injector that is 10% larger will bring that trim back to 0%. Not that it actually adds any power, the ECU is already compensating for the changes. you are mearly zeroing out the computer. If you start to notice knock, you can install colder heat range plugs. The 95 Accord does not have the ability to adjust the timing mechanically with the distributor, it is ECU controlled. So for a few bolt-ons the ECU will make the changes.

If you want real power increase, you need a computer to tune the ECU!
