So After a long swap with a JDM h22a into my 4th gen accord, I finally made it to the track and was able to get a time. Very dissappointed in my time as a matter of fact. The lowest i was able to get was a 15.9 which tells me to beleive that something is wrong. And before anyone goes on about driving skills, i know how to drive, i had a decent launches and 60' mile times so i dont wanna hear.

So im curious what can be causing this h22a to be slower than normal. I have a few things that might be the problem but other than that, no idea? By the way there are no cels, no real problems. Idle is a bit higher than normal. Idle screw is all the way in to bring it down to 800.

For 1 idea, I have upgraded accel injectors (370cc). Im thinking might be acually slowing me down without really noticing. i have the basic bolt ons (i/h/e) Can anyone confirm this problem?

2? I dont have the FPR solenoid connected but everyone says i dont really need it. looked around for a lil and just saw that is good for cold starts and such.

3?Is it possible that one of my cams are off by like one tooth without causing noitcable powerloss? I should be checking this soon when i do a needed valve adjustment.

4? I still have a stock cat connected and have heard that if clogged, can decrease performance majorly. Although i do drive it hard so it shouldnt be clogged.

I dunno, if anyone can give me a some info, suggestions, ideas? it would be a great help. I felt/feel as if the swap was an extreme waste of time and money.

 

why did you add bigger injectors the stock 345s are way more than enough. The H22 runs alot richer then it should from the factory.


What exactly were your 60fts. and what mph are you trapping?

 

check your Air/Fuel ratio...

 

atleast post all your run info.......

 

Sorry guys, unfortunatly not able to post the times at the moment. at work and dont have the slip on me. From what i can remember i had a 15.9 at like 89 mph and im not sure but i was doing 2.4? for the 60ft on low end street tires.

I guess i neglected to mention though about the injectors. the reason why i got those was becuase i was short for time. I beleive the stock injectors were bad at the time of the swap. Hard time restarting it after tons of BS, so after looking for injectors that i was able to get that day, Accel injectors were the only ones in stock out fo all the auto stores i went too. Cheapest which blew my mind too?

Unfortunatly im unable to check my a/f ratio, i dont have a guage setup, I bet that would tell me easily if the injectors are the problem.

 

not the best 60ft and your mph is low.

if your car isnt tuned for the larger injectors, then the engine is prolly running sluggish.

 

hmm thats what i thought... i guess i gotta figure out where to get stock injectors, or maybe fix the ones i have... hopefully this will make it running much better.

 

just get the car tuned with Crome and you will be ok.

 

also remember that running in the heat will slow you down considerably. During the spring when it was low 70s I was running 15.3 all day long. Now in this 80-90 degree weather, I can barely post a 15.9
