92 stock engine

[djdnell]

sup everyone, i don't know much about engines and stuff but is there a name for the 92 stock engine?(example h22a, f22 etc..)

whats model lx/dx.ex/se?

[alexcaro1]

do those o2 and fuel mixing ECU performance chips work ? Also do i have a LX or EX, it is a 92 coupe automatic but it doesnt have the button on the shift knob (sports or normal button) Does that mean it is an LX , because ive seen that button on the EX.

Please reply, Thank you

dont buy the 15dollar chip
your car should have badges on the back, if it has a sunroof its an ex or se, check the engine code. f22....?

[alexcaro1]

125 hp F22A1 or you might have the F22A4 im not sure

Keep in mind, that 125 hp figure is at the flywheel at peak RPM's. If it's an auto tranny you can expect a 30% power loss to the wheels and if its a manual you can expect around 15-20% reduction. Just some figures id thought i throw out there.

even with the drivetrain loss its still a drivers race basically and don't get the "performance" chips at all unless its a legitimate ecu chipping device like a piggyback unit. There are no such things as short cuts to performance. Its fun when u start to believe the gimmicks and the hype but after u learn the fundamentals of engines and how to create horsepower the right way u'll see through all of the gimmicks. For instance i bought the intake turbine thing just to see if it actually worked and of course it didn't show any true gains. I really wish i had a dyno to confirm my hypothesis but alas it'll be a month or 2 b4 the local performance shop gets a dyno

Wow I thought Jacksonville was bigger than Portland Or...We have alot of shops here that have dynos, some are even in-ground ( true'er results and even the most slammed accord can fit up on it)

well they have dyno's here but a bit overpriced for me. I'll wait for a free dyno day or my day of tuning instead
