Hey guys,
Sorry I have no pics yet, but wanted to get a noob thread in before someone tears me a new one.
Basically doing up a dirt cheap f22b1 or b2 build looking for 220-300whp...whatever I can get.
Had a cb7 f22a6 14b turbo back in the day and loved that thing. Now I drive a cd5 (97 accord 4dr) and thought I'd go H23 Bluetop vtec to keep the OEM reliability. Sure it's realiable, but vtec is ass compared to an f22 turbo. Vtec is like waiting for a massive turbo to spool (5000rpm) only to find minimal gains in power. Perhaps with an H series tranny it wouldn't have been so bad, but regardless, I need that 200+ft/lb torque at 3000rpm.
Build is with a VF39 Sti turbo I picked up for $150 because the wastegate area has a crack.
Toyed with a beefier piston idea... Found out Genesis 2.0T pistons are a superb fit for the F22 if you bore to 86mm. However, valve reliefs are backwards, and if you turn the piston you will have an incorrect offset.
Thinking I may just go with Speed-Pro hypereutectic pistons. Should have a little more strength and insurance than stock. Though with seeing the big numbers being put up on junkyard F22 blocks here, maybe I shouldn't even touch the bottom end.
Other parts are just what I had lying around:
obdI on crome with ostrich 2 and Innovate WB
2.5 Bar $30 motorolla Map sensor
440cc injectors with new seals and pintles from injector Rehab
Ebay $90 T3 manifold
homemade adapter plate
same side intercooler
1g BOV
2.5" catback and garage made DP
F1 Racing Xtreme clutch (apparently has 2000lb pressure plate...will give some feedback when I get er' running).
Arp Studs
King bearings
timing belt/seals/valve stems/hg all being done while the pistons are being put in
Sorry I have no pics or porn, but they are on the way!
Oh,
Also have another Project that might be worth mentioning.
74 Datsun 260z and throwing an RB25Det in it
lots of home made mods being done.
- Welded oil pan on backwards and moved sump.
- Red wrinkle painted the Valve covers, black block paint
- Using a toyota AE86 rad
- GTR intercooler
- STI 535cc side feed injectors
- Ebay Greddy Style IM
- Kinugawa 18g turbo
- home mode engine mounts
Guess I'll have to do up a thread for that too.
Ciao!
