For what purpose?

so i can tune it.
and the sleeper would be nice i may just paint it flat black or somethin and make it fast as hell...
But is there anything to tune at this point? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's just a stock F22, right?

not really at this point just headers and an intake but i plan on turboing it as soon as i save my money up, and i found some dsm injectors i think 440cc, for $50 in good shape, good deal?

yeah good deal. as for the prelude if I were you stick with it. Sell the whole f22 swap and buy yourself and h23 or h22. or on a bit cheaper end you could go with the accord ex motor f22a4. As for the rest of the stuff that needs to be fixed...honestly has no one heard of junkyards before? It doesn't cost nearly $5000 to do most of what he would need to do.

Anybody still lookin at my thread? lol well if so, here's what i did tonight. i cleaned up the radio wires so they arent a complete mess anymore and i re-routed my power wire in the engine bay. im going to look into my wiring more in the morning. oh, also i found a core support in great condition and perfect carpet all for $160 for both, thats a good deal right?

well i can look for some later but basically its an f22 block with k20 pistons and an h22 head. its the frankenstien of frankenstien motors lol. but if done correctly they will put out more power than the k series. check hondatech for write ups. thats like the only car forum that i am not a member on i belong to quite a few but this is my newest. im even a moderator on 2 but i like this site cuz its about hondas and acura my two favorite car companies

Thank you for the pictures! I just have one suggestion, and only a suggestion, that would be to solder and heat-shrink your stereo connections rather than butt-connecting them together. But high-temperature paint and you will be fine, or get it sprayed by a painter if you want to go the extra length. Also, you need to take a dremel tool and put a sandpaper bit in it then sand down the whole cover or the paint will not stick. Goodluck!

yeah, im too lazy to solder them lol i have butt connectors in my truck and havent had a problem out of it at all. so high heat spray paint? is that what you're talkin about?

pressure wash it or just wash it? i dont have a pressure washer but i could get one. and i plan on painting the valve cover once i get the paint (and the balls to pull it off) this would be my first time pulling one off

VHT is an excellent company over here, they make high-temperature paint for such an application as you are talking about.
