Hi! New to this forum. Wasn't sure if this was right place to put this, But I've read all the other posts on this, and couldn't find my answer. I have a f22b2 with auto, if I do the f23 intake mani swap would I run to lean? Would I need bigger cam ? Would it even be worth it? I already have f22b1 4-2 exhaust mani, intake, hi-flow cat, exhaust, underdrive pulleys. Thanks

 

no, no and more no. The intake is larger which the ecu will relearn and change the fuel trim based on the 02 reading. A cam isn't needed for this mod either. You would most likely gain more power swapping the auto for a manual then you would adding a bigger intake to an N/A motor.

 

Technically, there is no power to be "gained" by swapping from auto to manual. It's merely free'd up by using something more efficient at putting power to the ground.

Also, I wouldn't bother swapping to the F23 IM. I didn't notice much, if any performance difference when I did mine on my F22B2 with a manual. There was a MUCH larger gain with a header than the IM. Being an auto car, I wouldn't bother dropping any money into performance mods and even manual swapping it. Honda sold MILLIONS of Accords. Find one you like with a manual and buy it.

 

Thats what I was referring to haha. Less waste during power transfer

 

Thank you I won't waste my time then!
