SLEEPER 1995 Honda Odyssey H22 Reversed Head: Collective Effort
Hello everyone,
In this episode we meet a badass builder who took a big risk in building something that a few of us have seen only via video and pictures. Sg. Fitz is a Army veteran and a crazy builder to say the least. He decided to not only power the families car with an H22 but to reverse the head backwards like the jttc/bttc cars. At the time he had 4 H series engines which is crazy to say the least but he decided that he had enough parts to do it. Well, he did it! It ran for a while but as life got busy it went to the back burner. With the help of his friends from accordcollective and werdwerx they were able to bring this monster back to life. I hope you guys enjoy the episode like I did. I had a great time on and off camera. My salute to Sg. Fitz as a veteran and a great builder. Thank you all for the support to #automotiveanatomy

I’ve seen a lot of videos on this channel and they are always good but for me, this one destroys the curve. This guy works with at risk youth, he is one of the early guys and he’s still all in, and he reengineered this motor hoping to match what Honda could achieve with all their resources but with even more performance. What a bad ass. Inspiring!

Oll Sarnt Fitz, must of been a squared away team leader as I see he still won't stand with his hands in his pockets. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 good for you Sarnt . Such a clean build, the reversed head is so cleaver!
Thank you for the love and support to the #automotiveanatomy channel.I cannot thank you guys/girls enough. I wanted to put more footage of the screaming motor but software was not cooperating. Either way, thank you guys very much and I hope you guys enjoy this episode!
man this thing looks so good i forget its a van lol. the reversed head is just insane.
This is just a great heartfelt real life story and I love it. Other gear heads looking out for each other hearing that this guy was part of fast eddies and remembering back when I had a parts list including his products. Just an awesome video over all.
This is your best one yet. The guy knew everything about his car inside and out. He had some great guys to carry out his initial vision, and he deserves every bit of it for what he's done for this country and for his community.
For those that don’t know mugen swapped the F20b into the older Honda Accord and ran a reversed head setup making 305 allmotor hp.

Robert Lund some call it the accord type r but it’s the euro R. Sadly Honda didn’t build the euro R like a true Honda type r . The suspension wasn’t on par with a typical type r . The motor was the only thing that was high comp and big cams like all the Rs.
one of the most unusual and iconic Honda builds imo great coverage!
Enjoyed the story, the history and the engineering that went into this build. I can relate and I know the feeling of " I want to do it, not because it will produce more horse power but just because I wanna see if I can! 😅 nicely done guys 👍👍

This was super cool, have seen and read about this car online before but to hear from the owner the work that went into it makes it very special. If I remember correctly one of the reasons they swapped the head on the BTCC accords was to place the engine further back right? All the cars from that era of BTCC are the best looking factory race cars in my book; slammed with big wheels tucked and aggressive but not over the top aero. Getting a bit off-topic here, thanks again for a great video.

You were spot on topic! Yes, that was the OG reason why they build the reverse head. I belive the driver sat back as well. But yes, I love those era cars. The way the rear wheels look are amazing. Especially with the single lock axle nut. I am glad this video brought education and joy to you.

HELL YES I LOVE those old BTCC/NATCC cars! The yellow NATCC Neuspeed Accord from around 1995-1996 is literally what lit the fire under my ass and started me down the path of import tuner cars, when I was 16 years old. I can still remember seeing that car in Sport Compact Car magazine I think, and thinking to myself "wow that's awesome, that's the type of cars I like".

Looks like you'll need to put a hood scoop of some sort to cool of those headers..!
Hey man where did you find that rearview mirror
To get your exhaust temps down, just wrap your headers dude. Honestly, a wrapped header does wonders for exhaust flow and for temperature reduction. Other than that, if your exhaust is getting hotter and it wasn't before, you have a problem.
Telling you next time you get to the High Desert you should check my 98 ek coupe
Legitimate question. What's the point of reversing the head?
@c.b.8068
4 жыл бұрын
...as far as the BTCC cars go, reversing the head created a major air intake moreso like an amazing ram air kit and RUN it did!!! The AWD Audi A4 was able to keep up in the corners but on a straight away... NOTHING!!! There are a lot of those [BTCC] races on KZread, around 1997 - 2000 are the best races, they showcase the power of the "H" in both senses of the letter; HONDA AND H22!!!
Soo cool man good job you should tack it to pfispeed wen you rebuild it thy could the gaegis working

The original purpose of it was to allow for weight distribution closer to the firewall in the JTCC Accord. By also reversing the head, it allows the ITB's to face the front of the vehicle and allow for better air flow into them. In the instance of the video, it was then just because he wanted to see if he could do it.

The original reason was to have the driver seat further back and fit in the ITBs. For street use, none to be honest. Tommy explained that he would need to do some extensive modifications to the front end to get air on the ITBs but not much power advantage.
