Then figure it out and get it fixed. We need information to let you know why your H22 is accelerating slow.

You cant just say "my car is slow and I don't know why..." and expect us to know the answer.

Theres 2 factors that make a car go fast....weight and power. You either drop some weight or make more power. With your mods I would definetely recommend camshaft not only for more power but it will increase your power band and will allow you to stay in those lower gears for a nice mechanical advantage over the next guy.

TraKtioN, you forgot gearing.


What is the code on your JDM transmission, mprelude? if it is some POS out of some economy accord it can be what's killing acceleration... But without more info this thread is a waste of bandwidth.

Dude just start by checking your timing and might be way off or some shiznit. Then chek your spark plugs plugs wires and your secondary and primary ignitions.

If it's not that start checking your fuel system such as this thing called a FUEL FILTER which might need to get changes because is plugging up and it can't fee enough fuel to the fuel system is starving your fuel system therefore retarding timing by the computer and running leaner.....

So go do some homework and next time make sure you give a better explanation of your problem other then what you gave us this time.

And like PirateMcfred said check your tranny number & make sure is a h22 or at least an h23 tranny.
