I own a 2.2 auto and from what i have read i have very little torque, I know torque is performace at low rpm.So far i have an intake but i know there is other ways of producing more power.Please help me and give me advice, and no i cant afford the h22 swap yet. How helpfull are the pullys??

 

if you cant afford the swap yet...then just keep saving, the money you put into some headers or pullies can go to a lil savings box for your swap......just fight the temptations of a lil more power now, and do what you gotta do to get that swap in.....but if you really wanna just throw the money down now for a lil more power then you can always get the headers.....pullies would help if you get the crank pullie.....the others dont do much....

 

yeah, what cocoa said, don't waste money on pulleys and a header. The gains are almost nothing. You can however get things that you can reuse on your h22. (exhaust, hi flow cat, and VAFC)

Trust me, the F22 is not worth spending money on unless your gonna turbo it. I had e/i/h on my F-23 and when I put it back to stock it felt about the same. The DC header does absolutely NOTHING! I promise you that It makes your car slower at low rpm's, and you gain a tiny bit above 5k. Not worth it at all.

Keep saving

 

im rockin I/h/e on the 2.2 5spd and the shit doest have much to give

 

thanks man, about how much you think a turbo would do to my f22?

 

more than a swap

 

well if you want to turbo it, you'll still have to do a tranny swap, otherwise you'll tear that auto apart. so it's gonna cost alot. You could run like 5-7 psi and be making around 200-225 whp and be pretty safe. Or you could go with like 8-12 psi and make like 230-260 whp and probably not last long. No matter how much boost you run you've always gotta worry about shit going wrong Thats why most people just do an h22 swap.

BTW-Have you looked at prices for the auto to 5 speed swap yet?

 

No i havent, thats going to be my homework for this weekend.
Thanks man. Can you give me an estimate though?

 

It's kinda expensive. You gotta buy the tranny first, around $500-$2000, depending on new/used/rebuilt, then I think you have to get the 5 speed ecu too. No clue how much that runs. Then you need all the accessories like clutch, pressure plate, shifter, oh man I have no clue Sent Duece a PM he did the tranny swap when he did his h22 swap, so he should have a decent estimate on how much it'll cost. Or try searching, not sure if theres much info about it there tho

 

97CLgenius hooked up a whole front clip from a jdm Quelude. He had all the goodies he needed for the H22 auto to manual swap. Thats what I would look for.
