Not being a smartass but Im not really trying to pull 11sec at the strip, and i dont live on lombard street. Ill be content with a 13-14, maybe even 15 second car i just want it to be a little more lively but not in a paul walker way. so is pulling off 0-60 in about 6sec possible in an accord going NA or what? (auto tranny, but not for long)

 

An 11 second Accord, not likely..... anyways If you really want to know about port & polishing the head then hit up Port Flow Design here's the link from Inline Four, check it out...

Well, if they have like 8 second drag Solaras, I bet we can make an 8 second drag Accord. WOOT.

 

thanks man. i checked that out and that is some expensive $hit.

 

i was wondering, on some thread i read while doing some intense searching, a guy stated that he had a "modded" automatic transmission. is this possible because im tired of my tranny shifting to 2nd while at 5mph. i know the only way to prevent that is to floor it but going around certain curbs, entering highways etc... it just pisses me off alot. and not being able to afford the 5spd swap right now doesnt help things. so can a "modded" auto(if it is possible) keep up with a 5spd??? because from what i hear sitting in traffic with a 5spd sucks.

 

well let see, I haven't been here much but.

1. F series is okay, if your goal is around 300whp, then it's fine, PROBABBLY you won't have to any much on internals beside a FULL HEAD WORK and a thinner gasket IF your leak test is good. A larger intake manifold + a custom turbo setup with custom fabricated Turbo Manifold can get you to that 300whp safely. Better fuel management, a guard box and the fluid dampener will do things nicely and are HIGHLY suggested if you want to keep it as daily. If you want to be SAFER, which is not necessary, new rods and piston. In my opinion, don't have to since you can replace the bottom for much cheaper than a full set of rods and pistons.

2. About auto tranny, you can rebuild them and have them bulletproof from companies such as www.levelten.com. That and a torque converter kit + tranny cooler can be very expensive than a manual swap with new clutch, etc.

3. Also, if you want to be in the game, you need a lot of $$$ because things are always go wrong.

btw, to any of you who didn't know, there is an 8s Accord, a 2nd or 3rd gen I believe then there are couple 10s accord of which I know 2 are 5th Gens.

 

I for the life of me cant remember what mag it was i wanna say turbo and high tech performance but it may have been import tuner. But i bet you didnt see the h22a prelude only boosting 18psi with 590whp(that was with a 35shot though) Yes he had a fully built engine but he did go back with stock compression pistons (maybe he had 11:1 but the stock h22a had 10.5 :1 so its not that big of a diffrence). My point is that one of my friends has a 92 turbo h22a civic hatch BONE STOCK internals @ 314whp check it out at http://www.tunedbylorange.com/dynocharts.html. I think thats at 7 or 8psi but im not sure. There is 2 dyno charts there one for before he turbo'd it and one after. Bottom line... an f23a will NEVER beat an h22a stock for stock, built for built, or turbo for turbo. You have to turbo an F23 just to keep up with or edge out an h22(i know because another one of my friends has a 98 turbo f23 2dr accord and depending on which one of us catches traction first thats who usually wins... we are about 75/25 in my favor).

 

:werd:

 

ok, first off h22accord, shut the hell up. I never said anything bad about preludes or h22's. And with a fully built/turboed/juiced f23 you can get 600hp too. But anyways, the only reason your friend isnt winning you in races, is because he either isnt boosting anywhere close to what he can be boosting to, or he is a driver with an extra chromosome-cause he's hella retarded.

 

To everyone: all the "you"s in this are ambigious, not directed at anyone. just food for fscking thought

I see no point in defending a one-off engine someone built in their spare time. So what if he's boosting it and ran the engine for 5k miles. Can you replicate his work? Do you know the exact machinist he used? I mean ****. This dude may've had it in his fate to build a working, stable frankenstien engine but who says you can do it.

Swap in an H22A or a K24, get a beer, a blunt, and a bucket of chicken and call it a damn day.
