Default Engine mods with future swap in mind

I have an f22b1 accord with 115k miles. I plan on eventually doing an H22 swap but it will be a while. In the mean time, what performancee mods can I do that will transfer over to an H22. Should I get a VAFC? Will pullies transfer over?

I already have the suspension set-up that I want. I also have a cat-back exhaust.

Any ideas?

VAFC would carry over, if you build a 3" intake and do a battery relocation it could carry over as well

Would the VAFC be a good mod to an H22 if I don't want to do more than the basic bolt-ons?

It helps take advantage of the better breathing of I/H/E. So yes, its a good investment.

before I got my swap, all I did was cold air intake, and exhaust. Personally, I saved for the new mods for the swap. i.e. header, ecu, cams, valves, springs, retainers, etc...

that is true.. and a girl from FL too

anyways... yeah buddy. dont go crazy if you ARE going to swap.. just get exhaust *from me * hmm 3" intake will work, and save up for the install
get some suspension type stuff too. Vafc will be a good buy if you can get one not to crazy of a price
