Surprisingly, it only took about 30min with a hole saw to make all 4 holes on a small HF drill press. I'll worry about cosmetics later. For now I just want to hear it run

Any updates on this?

There's a spacer on the market that's relatively cheap to bolt the F22 IACV onto the F23 plenum. That's how most people do the F23 mani swap on the F22Bx engines (supposedly makes them actually pull to redline rather than falling on their face at 5200rpm).

No real updates. Life is keeping me from it right now.

I don't have room for an iacv spacer. I made the mounts with only axle angle in mind and ignored the rest. I have that sorted out though. I may touch the car again before the year is over, but I'm not really expecting to

If your friends gave a shit they'd draw dicks on the dust accumulating on the car for the next 5+ months.

No real updates. I am lazy, and generally suck as a human being.

At least his thread has SOME porn in it.

Run a remote IACV. Cut a chunk to bolt the IACV to, thread nipples in behind the in/outlet holes, then run them to the intake tube & right to the plenum. You can also run it to the brake booster line with a tee. Personally I'd love to get the F23 IM/Plenum to test with the f22 272 cam I have sitting here. Right now it's shifting sooner than the b16 I had in it before, so I'd love to raise the redline on the cheap.

Why is everyone so into the iacv thing? The problem has been solved for months

1" thick aluminum plate. Acts as a spacer and an adaptor so I can run a different F plenum. One with a standard IACV.

I didn't get any pics, but that spacer puts the tps and IACV into that nook at the top of the firewall and also fixes the clearance with the TB, fuel filter and heater hose valve.

Because the F22 plenum blows?

100% custom intake is in the works, just making it run first

And because 1" longer runners blows? lol

When you get the custom manifold done, I'll buy the F23 manifold/plenum off you.

Longer runners might not be the worst thing in the world for these engines. Actually if you gutted the stock plenum and gutted out part of the spacer to increase plenum volume you'd probably be improving at least on the F22 parts. Like I said, in stock form they fall flat at 5200rpm.

shorter runners plz

2 posts copied from another forum I posted on.

Finally got motivated and a little free time to devote to this car. Handling the paint and bodywork from the fire wall back for now. Once i drive it some and work the bugs out, then I'll pull the engine to build it and get the engine bay shaved and such.

Stripping down to bare metal. The factory paint was so bad, I cant put fresh paint back on top of it.
Treated with ospho to help with current rust and give me a little time to get it sealed back up.

Little progress saturday. Coated the bare metal in PPG DP90, then a high build primer. Gonna start the little bit of actual body work, then paint. Hopefully it goes quick, it needs very little filler to be super straight.

Looking good, now do work!

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #51 on:** May 28, 2014, 05:47:56 PM »

Put bondo on it yesterday and sanded some out. Finishing that up today and spot priming. Then its just sand for paint.

you make it sound so simple and easy...

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #53 on:** May 28, 2014, 10:11:07 PM »

It is, but I do it daily on planes

No pics tonight, but I did get it all sanded and spot primed except one spot that needs one more coat of filler. All super minor stuff.

Aloha Sir,

was wondering if you had pics or could share how much mods had to be done to the chassis to clear the motor/trans?

im considering doing an F23 into my crx, but hoping the F2B option AND going plateless would help on clearance issues?

thanks in advance

I swear we said that to you a few times. The plateless F2B will help with clearance issues, but right now nobody who's completed it has shown pics. DanZ is about to finish his plateless F2B in a few days or weeks using an F22 and cable trans.
