i've recently come into some money(job paychecks building up, graduation party money) and i would like to dump it into my accord. 95 ex, F22b1. anyhoo. i'm not going cosmetic, i want to just play with the engine first. i was going to do a h22 head swap, but i've recently changed my mind based on several factors, and i'm just gonna just build up the motor for now, then boost when i acquire some more money.i got a basic 2.5" exhaust, CAI w/ K&N air cleaner, and an OEM intake manifold. i've been looking for a bigger throttle body, but no luck so far. any of you guys know of a company that makes aftermarket ones for the f22b1, or of any bigger bored TB's that would bolt up? also, looking for other all-motor performance enhancing bolt on's that i have not thought of, so any help coming up with some ideas would help me bunches. looking at a greddy header, aem cam gear, and random technology hi-flow cat. idea's anyone?

 

check out maxbore.com, he does good work on throttle bodies.

if you're serious about going turbo in the future don't waste money on **** you'll have to replace with the turbo setup. (ie: header)

a cam regrind will pick up a few ponies. unfortunately the F series has almost zero support for n/a. short of putting in h/c pistons you won't get many gains n/a with this motor.

 

first of all, how much money do you have to spend? If you're wanting to build a block thats gonna cost you quite a bit and your car probably isnt going to run right with lower compression pistons in it if you're trying to drive it n/a while waiting to buy a turbo kit.

 

Go to tasauto.com. They carry SKUNK2 throttle bodies and various bolt-ons for your Accord.

you can hardly notice a difference N/A with lower comp pistons, it will run fine.

I dropped my motor's comp from 9.3:1 to 8.5:1 and it will run perfectly on the stock ecu.

 

thanks dudes! oh, and that TASAUTO is my new favorite site. thanks so much

 

is there any good cams, I heard that a mid cam can be one of the best overall mods for any car.

depends. some engines respond better to cam upgrades then others. and its really all in the cam profile, sadly i cant think of anyone who makes cams for our accords (there is one company but i forgot the name of them). no one wants to put some serious R&D time and money into the accords

 

gude and webcamshafts both offer regrinds for the F22B/F23A.

 

You might want to check out performanceaccord.com also.

Kteller also offers a regrind cam for the F22B1 by Rocket Motorsports. Kteller offers valve train parts for the F22B1 as well.

 

well, see, what i wanted to do, is build up everything else before i boosted. so, i'm getting all my lightweight pulleys and dampeners and whatnot first, as well as any bolt ons that'll give me a few more horses for the time being. that way i got a solid engine base to work off of. then, once i got the money - do internals and boost the crap out of that *****'. lots of good info/sites though, thanks for all your help dudes.
