anyhow. for free......there is basically nothing that will make it faster. not much of any kind or weight reduction will make much of nay noticeable different. swap or boost.

I don't think you realize, HT, while harsh can usually form a complete sentence without having horribly written slang. You don't think like that, you may talk like that, but there is certainly no reason to type like that - so don't.

You want answers? Ask a simple, straight forward and well thought out question. Not "gangsta" talk where a person reading can't tell if a two year old or an idiot wrote it.

Common sense would tell you that your car is not going to gain any real power from putting zero money it it. What do you expect to happen?

"Remove your wobble shaft and you'll gain 50 hp"

Even common (and required) maintenance costs you money - which is probably where you should start. From the way you're acting and typing, I'm going to wager the car is horribly abused and in need of repair. Fix it back to stock then worry about trying to modify it.

Must be from 'West' Boston.......

Heck, I thought I'd made some good suggestions what with loosing weight and such....

It must have been the reference to shoving it out the back of a Boeing C-17 where I lost him....

if these are 09's
10's

If you remove the restricter plate that'll let it breath a little better and give you better throttle response

srsly

275whp with an H22 is gonna cost you big. Unless you wimp out and go for boost.

Anywho, There is nothing you can do for free to make your F22B2 faster. Save up your money & buy your swap. Sell me your useless F22B2 for $150, shipped to my door. Then use that money to buy a set of adjustable camshaft pulleys, injectors or something.

Ditto. It's too bad I've already got the mod bug for my faster car, though. The money pit never ceases.

LMAO your wobble shaft? Judging by this guy he might actually go remove a half shaft and expect to pick up 50 hp drivin in a circle, doin one wheel burn outs.

As far as weight reduction goes...it's definitely not worth it, if you plan on driving this car everyday. You need something like (100lbs?) of reduction just to pick up a simple 10 hp and that's not even to the wheels. Unfortunately you have one of the heavier honda's from this generation. That's why yes, you would need something like an H22 (+torque) in an accord to feel a difference and keep up with your boys, I got one in my hf (light model) crx and it moves pretty good, I'd even say sell your accord and pick up a hatch, instead of trying weight reduction in hopes to gain horsepower. Or like everyone else has said just wait until you have the money to see legit gains from performance parts. Imo I'd rather fork out a couple hundred bucks for an i.h.e, than try an cut out 200+ pounds...it's just not logical to see significant gains without paying for it.

Well you're not "picking up" horsepower, you're just lugging around less weight.

The F series doesn't see much in terms of gains from just a I/H/E but does fairly well with head upgrades.
