ok, I have been looking around youtube, forums, and talking to people.
problem with youtube is not many people list the setup, they just say "H22 accord", and even if they did list the setup they would be lying.
general consensus seemed to be that the 90-93 accords were way lighter. and that a H22 swap would push them into the 14's.
but I found a post on here showing our 01 EX coupe MT weighing 2967 (LX because EX wasnt in the list) and a 92 EX coupe MT weighs 2888.
is that right. I always read about people saying how heavy they say their 6th gen is, and how much lighter the 4th gens were. but they cant seriously be complaining about 79 pounds, can they?
I think I am going to just do a trans swap first, to get the car a bit quicker, then later do the swap to an OBD1 H22.
was looking at a low boost setup on stock internals, but it looks like (from watching the counter on youtube videos, lol...) an H22 swap is about as quick, and I figure a unboosted H22 is safer and more reliable than an F23 with even the slightest amount of boost. plus we could do the same lob boost setup on the H later anyways if we feel the need.
so are the weights listed wrong? will an H22 push a 6th gen EX coupe into the low-low 15's high 14's?
it will have I/H/E, lightened fly, removed balance shafts, stock wheels (no heavy rims). is there anyway this car will dip into the 14's?
