Mild NA build?
I still just got into cars (try 2 weeks ago...?) so bear with me...
Ok so an f22b2 makes somewhere between 130-140 hp, right? I want to build an engine that will give me 200-220 hp (MAX), and I want to do it n/a. I also dont want to do a swap. (no turbo)
I've searched the other f22 engine builds, but they are all too hardcore for me, I just want a little extra umph (but more than just I/H/E).
If I understand correctly, the more gas + air = more power, and two ways to do that n/a are:
1) increase the volume of the engine and
2) increase the compression
were I to go the compression route (which seems easier because then I dont have to have my block bored out, right?) how would I even go about increasing compression? Stronger internals and then what? How exactly DOES one increase the compression? I know I'm missing something vital here.
Finally, I've heard of various things you can do to the head to increase flow rate, I guess, among other things. I've read conflicting evidence on how useful this is, and I guess my question is: is it? (for what I want to do)
What about the intake manifold/TB? With the I/H/E in and a high flow head, I imagine a stock, and unmachined/polished IM/TB might become a bottle neck, or does that make no sense?
In addition, what about port matching between the TB, the IM, and the head? Is that at all worthwhile given the hp I'm trying to make?
P.S. - my current budget is 2 grand, 3 maybe :-P
P.P.S. - I know accords werent meant to go fast, the suspension is not forgotten, for those who would say drop my cash on that
I hope this post makes sense...
