H23- great motor for torque but like any honda VTEC engine it makes it's horsepower on the top end of the powerband, yes i know the 2.3 will give you more grunt on low end but that block has about a 6500rpm redline and dosent like to go far beyond that! i could see taking an H22 and throwing in a F23/H23 crank but now we are just defeating the whole purpose of what we want (VTEC, high revs, etc.) now maybe that can be sovled with a cam that makes VTEC changeover seemless (skunk 2 pro 2) but that only flattens the powerband and eliminates the classic VTEC change over witch makes daily driving a bit*h and sucky idle (you may not care tho)!
H22- this is what we want! a motor that is in fine working order has VTEC, has high revs, and makes horsepower the best way honda knows how! if you want an H-series beast here
68mm throttle body
H22 type s intake manifold
ported head
skunk 2 stage 2 cams
mahle 10.5:1 comp gold series pistons
shaved block (ups the comp. .5)
Ti valve springs retainers etc
decent header and exhaust
matted to an H22 trans.
keep in mind this is my first build but in the last month this is what i've learned! it's a hard pill to swallow but H22 just out weighs by sheer convience! i'll shut up now!
oh and feel free to get me straight if i did something wrong this IS my FIRST build, hope it helps tho!
