Hello Everyone.
I'm New here(maybe not this is my 2nd post really)and I just wanted to tlak about my future plans with my car....if anyone is interested.
I drive a 96 Accord Ex that I bought about 2 years ago. I've always liked this body style(along with the 98-2000 version).
Well needless to say I was bitten by the tuner bug. I knew that I had my work cut out for me but I figured it will be a good 1st project.
As far as mods goes I haven't really done anything to the engine or the trans.
I started with the suspension 1st and have put on a Neuspeed front upper strut bar and a Progress rear anti-sway bar w/polyurethane bushings. I'm going to finish the bushings in the spring and hopefully by then I'll have a full coil-over kit.
NOW the delimma.
I'm at a part where I want to start on the engine but I'm not sure what I want to do.
O.k I'm either looking at doing the H22a swap...or a F22a(dohc) engines.
I'm going to boost the engine so I' going to build the top and bottom end of the engine to handle high boost levels.
I've heard that the H22a walls are weak and the pistons aren't good....the pistons dosen't bohter me because I'm going to get forged heads.
I want to have the paower available and not need it, than to need it and not have it if you catch my drift..and "YES" this will be a daily driver.
Anyways sorry I have written so much but I just wanted to kinda introduce myself and talk about some goals that I want to accomplish. I'm not looking for something to do quick cuz if that was the case I would have done that 2 years ago. I've been doing research for the past 2 years because I want to do it right the 1st time cuz I don't have the time or money to waste!!!!!
Any suggestions are very much appreciated!!!
