I bought a 1991 accord 4 door with intentions of using it as my project car, and so that I could learn how to do car work myself. So far I've installed a cold air intake system, and I plan on getting headers and an exhaust system, but beyond that, what else can I do to the car myself? The engine is an f22 by the way.

 

you can do anything yourself with knowledge, some elbow grease and the right tools. tuuuuuuuuuuurbo!

 

lol, well what can i do short of a turbo

 

do sum head work port polish.. get a cam regrind... you could put pullys.. bore it out.. or put the H22 in

Intake and exhaust headers is hardly work but I guess it is a start in the right direction.
But with a F22 unless it is VTEC you are wasting hard earned cash. Drop a F22B1 in there and you will have as much horses as if you spend 1000.00 on some intake and exhaust setup. with some other little bolt ons.

Or Turbo and NOS are always welcome. F22 Blocks are built to handle hell.

 

how much would it cost for a h22 engine? and would this be something I could do myself with the use of an engine hoist and the right tools? got any info on this?

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't try it without the help of someone who has experience.

And an engine swap would throw away all the money you've already spent on the intake, header, and exhaust.

This is why you should plan your engine package before you end up wasting a ton of money.

These are the best words of wisdom you can go by for any mods to do. If you don't know where you want to end your plan it is going to be a long expensive journey to get there.
Take it in steps and know what the steps are so you can plan for everything.

So true, last sentence being the most crucial
