he has found pistons and rod at aries.com.
what he has bought so far: AEM True Time cams, Injen RAI, Engine Dress up Kit, DC Sports Headers and Cat Back.
ill get him to post on the board. so he can tell you personally.

did he swap the engine or something ? because no -90-93 accords came with vtec in the cb7 platform (90-93). also the f series engines are considered weak because of the non stelar power they make 125hp-150hp. it's all because they have a low compression ratio (under 9.0:1--8.5 on mine) making them great engines to turbo. Also the valve train seems pretty weak with a lift duration of around 100 degrees (looking on mine) get a more agressive cam, some headwork done to it(pnp) an adjustable cam gear and some higher cr pistons and i bet that engine will be a different animal. the f series engines are barely touched in terms of tuning, plus i see them very reliable, since i went over the rev limiter on mine few times to around 9k rpms and i got only valve chatter, nothing else. Also the f series have the power range pretty low compared to the other ones like h, b and d series. do we have a winner here ?
