Default f22b1 mods

Has anyone done any of these mods an f22b1?

1. Throttle body.

I think Gude makes throttle body that fits. Is it worth it or should I just polish my OEM TB or wait until I put in rings etc. and do the whole head.

2. Performance Oil pan.

I have several mods and run at high RPM and drive hard. I guess that answers my own question about whether I need a performance oil pan. Who makes one thats will fit the f22b1? Has anyone used one?? How is install?

3. Injectors

Any idea how much the flow on injectors with 100k miles on them might be degraded? Lets assume better than average care, good gas, original fuel filter, don't let tank get below quarter tank.

4. Fuel filter.

Any tips on changing the fuel filter on a 97 Accord EX? It looks like a bear.

#1. Get a Throttle body off of an H22a or H23a and port match it.
#2. Hmmm, don't know
#3. Your injectors are probably fine but if your worried send them into RC for reconditioning. (Mine had 190K+ miles on them and I was spraying a lot of nitrous)
#4. The fuel filter is a PITA

i perfer a h22 TB as the map sens mounts direct to the TB not just a hose


the fuel filter is difficult it helps if you have a "pit" type area to work in aka jiffy lube and the right tools you will NEEED a crows foot wrench/socket i think its 14mm misa knows for sure.

the only point of a performance oil pan is if you start to have an oil starvation problem in high G corners on a race track. I have run my car 10 times harder and at more G's than you can imagine and am yet to have a starvation problem

OK,,, I was worried that I may be seeing some oil starvation at high RPMs. No high g's though. Mostly highway driving that I see the high revs.

I heard that changing the TB doesn't yield great gains, and really isn't worth the hassle. Is this true, or it may be said only if it was this mod taken alone and not combined with other modifications?
