    last time i checked, F22B and H23 were just about the same in price. You're right about the Vtec conversion, but its not a bad candidate for boost. How can you say the F22b is "****", when there is not much difference between the two motors?

    theres an important difference in the size of the rod journal and main journal sizes. The F22B is smaller, which means there is less bearing surface area.

    If the F22B is the same price as the H23A, why didn't you just get the H23? pistons, rods, cams, etc are more readily avaliable for the H23A.

    Look I'm not trying to argue with you, but I have been around honda's for a long time and built quite a few myself, and I know what works and what doesn't. Turbo your F22B if you want, but don't expect it to be reliable or last long.

    its all good. I'm not trying to argue either. I just wanted to know additional reasoning behind your opinion. I've heard some horror stories and good ones about the F22B. Btw I don't have the F22b or the H23.
