Yes Exactly.. Wink

Skunk2..

And also if your Putting H22A7 head then your normal intake manifold will be pooo in my opinion so if you get Euro-R manifold which is highly recommended as an upgrade to standard manifold then it will work even better.. So get SKunk2 cam gears and Euro-R manifold (ATR manifold)..

well i already have a skunk2 intake manifold and throttle body at 69mm.. so just the cam gears will do i think?

Sounds good them mate.. Cool

Thats all i can think off.. H22A7 head, Skunk2 intake manifold, 69TB and Skunk2 Cam gears. Should be looking at 230BHP after a proper Re-map.. Cool

Dont run a h22a7 head without sorting the ecu out. ALso it wont rev to 900rpm as the h22a7 head is exactly the same as the h22a8 and type S preludes and they dont go up to 9000rpm on stock valve train.

Definatley sort the ECU out and the same time. You will get valve lash and different timing otherwise. It could do damage.

well the ecu that i have at the moment is one of those spoon chips.. it has increased vtec to 5500rpm.. so i need to see first of all how it behaves with that ecu.. if it doesn't like it then i will put back the prelude stock ecu..if not though i'm sure my mechanic will give me the best advise..

End of the day i do realise that to get the full potential out of mods i need a proper remap but i don't want to do that just yet as i have more mods in mind..

i spoke to the mechanic that is doing the job for me and he said that the valves won't lash and there won;t be any damage at all..

Now this goes out to anyone that wants to do this sort of modification..

If you get an Acccord type-r head for your prelude everything will work fine but to really get the full potential of the mod and rev up to 9k you really need to get it remaped...

It wont rev up to 9k at all. A proper uprated valve train will be needed. Taffys got a full NA build and his power band goes up to 8.5k.
Seriously you need a remap with any valve train up grades. I mean a proper dyno remap not a pre tunned ecu like a spoon chip.

to rev to 9k you would have to sort out the bottom end as well matey quick way to kill an engine is rev it past its limits

Who here can tell me if i should buy skunk2 pro cam gears with my new accord type-r head.. will it really make any difference at all.. is it really worth the £200?

nitin_s1 · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 10:05 pm Post subject:

The question will be is it really worth it.. You can get them fitted and with a really good (expensive) tune you might oonly get ~5BHP so i'm not sure if they are worth it.. But if i was going out with a proper NA build up then i would get them.. So i'm 50/50 about them.. Embarassed

Why don't you just put ATR head and see what power you gain before more mods.. Idea

You need to post pics of the work you do please.. Very Happy

Remember, to see ATR power, your going to also need ATR/Type-S pistons, for the higher compression. This is the real power adder in their setup. A remap will be essential to get the most out of the setup, and you will also need to consider the engine breathing in & out (intake/I.Manifold/Exhaust Manifold/Exhaust) to remove any performance bottlenecks.
