A If you typically work with your hands and know how to wrench, you will be able to do this yourself. There are quite a lot of pieces to remove, so count on a full day of downtime. And if you find that you don't have the right tools to finish the job, you can always turn back around and bring it to a professional. We say give it your best shot first. It's nice to save money on labor, and being able to say you did some of your own mods. Have a look at the instructions Perrin Performance has kindly posted on their website before starting, www.perrinperformance.com. You might want to consider a new downpipe, since that has to be removed in the process.

Q I just recently bought a 1990 Honda Accord EX, and it's on hoopty status right now, haha. But I got huge plans for it. As we know it comes with an F22A1 and at first I was planning to just do the H22 swap, but upon reading my first issue of Super Street (awesome magazine, by the way; best I've ever read!) I read about Bisi and his F22A. It gave me confidence that I also can fix mine up. The only thing is since I'm not that experienced, I need a little help on how and where to start the upgrading. So far I've done the basics like replace seals and oil change and brakes. But now what?

A Bisi is definitely the F22 guru, as well as the man for any SOHC Honda motor. We don't expect you to build an insane F22 like the F-Bomb that we're doing for the Castrol Syntec Top Shop Challenge, but you can definitely build it for increased power. Before building your F22, try to figure out your goals and what kind of budget you want to work with. Maybe a H22 might just be the ticket for you. But if you decide to do the F22, you have several options, from naturally-aspirated to forced induction. Check out www.bisimoto.com to see how they can help your F22 build up.
