i have an f22 from a 1990 accord and goin to rebuild it. actually i have to f22s and need some pointrs on gettn more hp out of the engine. it will b naturally aspirated no nos.

 

The same proceedures which work for domestic engines can work for Japanese engines as well.
The most direct approach would be displacement and compression improvements. A .020" overbore with a piston selection increasing compression would be my first choice.
I would also gasket match both the head, intake manifold and exhaust for better flow.
I would round it out with a set of premium bearings and a high volume oil pump.

so can i do a vtec head swap? what kind of mods would i have to do for something like that.

 

It's a traditionsl swap which carries a lot of romance with it. Who can resist that wide valve cover and those two cams?
It will help out with upper end breathing, but will not improve performance much below 3500 rpm.
I would suggest reading up on the swap threads which have been published in the FAQ section of this forum (second or third line on the 1st page) before you entertain this.

cool thanx for the info. i will read up on threads. yes the vtec is pretty hot! i just bought a 1990 accord ex from a friend. he thought the timing belt broke. come to find out its the cam gear broke off cam. so i have an old f22 with a good top end. i figured im just gonna swap top ends for now. cuz im bored

 

so im like so new to this stuff. what exactlly does vtec mean. and i have an 1990 f22. what type of top end vtec can i look for

 

This may help:

VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine.

Short but sweet
