Slow and steady H22A build for EG

Hiya,

I thought I might post up a little something since I've stopped working on the H22A for a while now. Not many people know about it yet since I haven't spoken much...progress has been really slow after starting full time work so yah :( But, now working full time...I've got some money now to continue it over weekends hehe...When I'm not with my GF that is lol

So yeah, here's what I have so far:

H22A1 Stock Bottom and Top End
Stocky Gearbox (couldn't get an LSD box :( rare as)
Skunk2 IM
Skunk2 66mm TB
JVT Header 4-2-1
OBX LSD (on order)
Avid Racing Mounts
Koyo Manual Tensioner Conversion Bearing + Kit from Honda

I've hit a snag and I'm sort of unsure what diameter to use for the remainder of the exhaust. I'll be using a metal cat from X-Force, so now I've gotta figure out what diameter I need. Would 2 1/4" been fine? Or do bigger engines like the H22's like something fatter...like a 2 1/2"?

Hopefully I can get all this on the road with a new re-spray at the end of next month!

Thanks in advance for your help!
Nick

Three.

Do it.

2.2l needs at least 2.5inch

Sweet as. 2.5" seems the go...3" is a little big isn't it? lol I figured it'd be for hipo boosted cars?

yeah to big unless its for drag I'm sure that header I'd 2.25" at the merge so that will hold it back if u do any head work

Ah k, I see what your getting at. I'll leave this thread open for a bit more discussion before I take the dive :) Thanks for your advice mate :thumbsup:

ill be going 3' on my h22a. 2.5' is just weak! but in your case.. 2.5' for sure. I use a 2 1/4 on a 1.3L. No loss in power.

Yep too big is a myth

i was going to build a h22a and sold it as im now looking for a kswap. when looking in to headers and exhaust. i was going to run lov fab with a 2 1/2 inch. this was from some great advice, but my only problem was a standard 2litre k would run a 3 inch no worries, yes it revs a little harder but im sure this will give you something to think about. if your doing some light mods just go a three.

3" is best.

3" it is then, gonna have a sports muffler hooked up instead of a cannon...Got EPA'd recently lol Nice cop though, talking cars with him :thumbsup:

Probably just get a gutsy sounding twinloop or one of these:

Sexy

Whatcha think? Noice ain't it? :)

Thinking of ordering a shorter gear set for the Accord box I'll be fitting. Heard they're quite long...and better for turbo's?

That muffler is nice man.
What's the price on them?and inlet sizes?
