You asked if you were missing anything

Were you planning on getting new rods??

But besides that, it looks to be a sick build!

 

maybe just an opinion... with $2400 in upgrade parts (excluding original cost of engine, new seals and gaskets, and machine shop/builder cost...) may as well put some good headers on it.

what do you plan to use for engine management (ECU/tuning)?

which injectors, and other fuel system components will you use?

are you using an F22 bottom end? i'm guessing H22 head...

 

ummm well for the header i went cheap because im gonna go boost ill only use it n/a for a short amount of time and as for rods what should i use.

i am using the f23a1 bottom end with an h22a1 head.

 

Polish the crank.

 

i hear you on the header, that makes sense.

you may have some trouble putting 85mm pistons in a block with 86mm bores... you can look for K20A fitment pistons as far as aftermarket goes. i don't think there's a lot of support in that area for the F23A1. either way, K20A forged pistons turned around exhaust side to intake side w/valve reliefs enlarged should work.

so are those cams good for boost? the little i've learned about aftermarket cams, there's usually a specific type for boost.

also, you'll need to stick to dished pistons if you plan on turbo in the future. even a flat piston in the F23A will be too much compression for a typical turbo build.

 

oh good to know i didnt relize they were 86mm i feel really dumb
and thanx for the input on the compression stuff im new to this so everything helps i will look into the cams.

keep the advice coming

 

how much to do the swap itself..i plan on doin the same with a few frieds but i need to know wat i need to do to make it it work....

 

depends i already had both the block and head my accord has the h23a1 so i am just gonna put the head on that i got from a buddy for 150 bux so it just depends on what u have.

 

and as for an ecu would a chipped p72 work after a tune?
