Carving a H22A intake manifold pumpkin

604ACCORD · Aug 10, 2014

So im hollowing out my upper and lower intake manifolds and removing the butterfly valve. I have done a lot of research about this and everyone says you loose a little torque and gain a few ponies. I'm not building a race car so Im not worried about the torque, putting in a H22a from a F23 should give me a lot more power anyways. But for those who care about this kind of **** here is some pics. Its kind of my escape from the family for a few hours a week so I drink beer and smoke cigarettes and dremel the hell out of my manifold LOL whats to loose other than some torque and a few brain cells...

hmm. Picking horsepower over torque would actually better serve race purposes than casual driving. Cool project tho, I will be following this thread.

Yeah, that statement didn't make any sense to me either. Daily driving will take a hit from this type of modification.

Someone may need this at some point lol. If you get too drunk and smoke too many cigarettes, you may want to make too many manifolds.. Which would mean making some money haha.

Unfortunately, I didn't choose the H22 head for my build.. Yet.
