Big power for $500 is nitrous. Since you don't want that try a cam from webcam.

you can buy a kit that you can control when the nos kicks in and shuts off like you could have it kick in at 2000rpms and shut off at 7000rpms so think about that

If you have nitrous kick in a 2000 rpm, you'll blow the engine. It has to be at least 3000 rpm.

don't buy anything, save the money, save up some more, sell your engine for a bag of chips and get youself an H22A
then you can munch on the chips while in VTEC

Exactly, I know you may love your F22a, but just my opinion would be to sell the headers and intake off of it, and save for a H22a.. It will be well worth it..

And I really hate N2O... I can make a freaking metro fast with N2O..

Get some juice it's great!!! I got 90k miles on my ride and it works great. stock everything but whats listed. Still need to try it at the track tho. Even after ya get the NoS ya still gotta get a purdge valve and a micro switch and install it. So it would come around 800$ for it.

For the most part I agree with everyone get an h22a bomb.

i agree, sell your stuff to some accord owner and get an h22a or even the h23 is a far cry better than the f22

Your best bet is too put that 500 towards an H22A swap if you want power thats there all the time....even consider a H23A, i bet you could get one for like 1k or something. The F22A is not a good platform to put money into if you ask me.

You can make a Metro go fast with an H22A also, can't you? And yet you seem to like that motor and not nitrous. I don't get your reasoning. Peace.

That's not too bad. You're good to spray as soon as you hit 3000 rpm.
