be like it is
for reference, when buschur racing builds a car, they throw it on the dyno immediately and tune it as soon as it runs.

here's a q:
best flowing head? f23/f22/h22/h23? i have a premonition it's f22 non-vtec but just want to check.

not sure:
prelude axles
what timing belt to use
what motor oil to use
what tranny oil to use
what header,catalytic converter,exhaust to use

LMK if im missing anything. All input is greatly appreciated, especially if u got experience with an N/A build

you can lose ur P/S, it aint tht bad

accord axles are the ones tht will work. if u cant find f20b things u need, usdm h23 is the EXACT same as far as the head. h23 tranny i would reccomend, since the f20b (h22) tranny is very, very short.

mobil 1 synthetic oil is good, gsr timing belt, honda man. tranny oil, h23 header with no cat and custom bent crushed exhaust should be fine. make sure to include an oil pressure gauge into ur budget as well. ALL HYBRID ENGINES SHOULD HAVE ONE.

search pirateMcFred on ht and DSA on here for build help, since they did the same damn thing

lets startoff with my car, 1999 Accord ex coupe 5spd 4cyl

ive been looking around and have come up with a pretty good hybrid, but looking for some help on the entire construction.not sure if im missing something or if it is all compatible. also, not sure if i will be keeping the a/c, but will keep power steering since it will be DD

f23a1 block
aem pulley kit
f23a1 water pump
h22 water pump gear - Why?
lightened and micropolished crank
k20a2 rods and pistons - Won't fit
arp h23 headstuds
f20b head w/ PnP
f20b stock cams (same as prelude type-s/accord euro-r)?
kms valvetrain
f20b lsd tranny
exedy stage 2 clutch
fidanza lightweight flywheel
mfactory 4.64 fd (4.4 fd?)
msd sparkplug wires, distributor, blaster 2 coil
obdII-obdI conversion harness
phearable h22 obdI ecu
hondata s200 (maybe s300?) - Pick one, not both.
5th gen accord fluidyne radiator
optima battery relocated in trunk
accord euro-r cluster
rc 440cc injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
aem fuel rail and adj. fuel pressure regulator

not sure:
prelude axles - reuse the stockers if your 5spd already.
what timing belt to use
what motor oil to use
what tranny oil to use
what header,catalytic converter,exhaust to use - H22

LMK if im missing anything. All input is greatly appreciated, especially if u got experience with an N/A build

My edits in red...

FYI - F20B is comparable to the H22. F20A is comparable to the H23.

I hate Buschur Racing and all the damn Evo's around here running their stickers. That and whoever the other big DSM guy in OH is.

1. h22 water pump gear - someone on HT did this to run an h22 timing belt
2. if the k20a2 rods wont fit, then i guess ill use some crower rods
3. i wasn't sure if i would be buying the s200 or the s300, but someone on HT, yes HT, said that it would be easier to tune with the s300, so im getting that instead
4. im trying to see what brand header to use, rmf, hytech, since i dont want to be using the stock header
and thanks to those who offered their input
