soo i want to do some up grades for my Accord, its a 94 LX about 200 thousand miles, ive had it for 2 years now. i have the original F22B2 with an intake, i want to add headers and do the exhaust at the same time. my plans are to keep my cat, take off the resonator and put a pepboys Magnaflow 2.25 muffler with 2.25 inch pipping from the cat. (buddy works at pepboys which eqauls discount)
i cant decide if i should go cheap ebay stainless steal headers or namebrand like Pacesetter or another brand but not DC cuz that cost alot..
now if i go cheap and save money id like to put a rear sway on my car, i was thinking Progess. http://www.andysautosport.com/honda/...bars/progress/ unless someone had a better option.
one last upgrade i need is a new clutch! has anyone ever used a Duralast clutch from Autozone??? haha sounds dumb but hey lifetime warrenty.

im sure theres tons of mods people would love to add to there car but its spending your money wisely thats the hard part, soo if you have any suggestions or think im doing it wrong.. give me some advise

 

my budget is $600.
what do you think

 

dont waste your money on any of that crap.

get a exedy stage 1 clutch.

then save your money for a turbo build or an h swap.

an f22 n/a build is a waste of money.

 

haha thanks man!
umm how much would one of those stage 1 clutchs cost?

i know an F22 is weak but its my daily driver so i just want to add a few hp.

 

ebay header is fine everyone uses those. but l would worry about tuning motor up and making sure its gonna last through those upgrades 1st. such as check compression on cylinders and cleaning and replacing all gaskets and seals. check condition of old parts. and a quick hp gain would be go to junkyard and get a vtec head off f22b1 motor and the ecu. but yea most ebay headers work fine just dont go with the cheapest. find one thats popular and been sold before.

 

Thanks accordmatt. My engine runs fine my gaskets aregood no leaks. I maintain it pretty well, ive never done a compression test. As far as vtec head goes, I've read its more work than just the head and ecu.
id raather get my suspension/handling on lock then H swap later when ii blow this motor

 

Don't waste your money on a clutch. You will have to do major work to an F22B2 to make more power than the stock one can handle, and i/h/e there is no point unless you are in there anyways.

Don't bother swapping a new head onto a 200K motor. Just buy a complete rebuilt or JDM swap F22b Vtec. You will come out ahead in the long run.

Been there done that, unless you are doing a teardown or have a fresh motor then I wouldn't do it. Not with a bunch of dirt cheap low mileage ones laying around.

For headers, Make sure you put the O2 in the collector, and not in the primary bung if they have one. It will throw off your a/f trim across all 4 cylinders. Some will run rich, some lean, only one will be correct.
