G23??????????

[dabuilding]

these setups have been around for a while (at least 5 years). They have a reputation for having reliability issues. Don't get me wrong, it has been done successfully by a few, but it is very rare to get more than 15-20k miles out of one of these engines. Why not just buy a H22A? By the time you get done building the engine you will have twice as much money tied up in it... If you want something reliable, find a jdm F20B (DOHC VTEC). It's pretty much a destroked H22A type S. It has 200hp, and with the right tune these things make damn good power. Also, it has steel sleeves instead of FRM like the H22A. If I was still into honda's I would definitely go with a F20B or H22A over the "G23"...

well for 2 reasons
1. its not that expensive to build i priced one on ebay for under 1200
2.it makes around 240 hp

I highly doubt it will make 240 flywheel hp without spending a lot of money on aftermarket cams/intake manifold/chipped ecu/tune...

I've had a built H22A type S with cams, intake manifold, throttle body and a full exhaust system that probably only made close to 240-250 flywheel hp, or around 200-210whp...

$1200 will only buy the bare minumum parts. With stock H22A cams you will never get close to 240hp even at the flywheel.

You will not get 240bhp.

Race team I crew[ed] for ran a Frankenstein h22/23 provided by Honda with about 260bhp in their Speedvision World Challenge car. That was with a $1k+ header, full standalone, etc. That prelude would do 151mph at Road Atlanta, lol.

They built a B20z bored out with RSX type-S pistons and b-series connecting rods (GS-R?) and a b16 head with stage2 Skunk2 internals. Running Hondata and a SMSP header it made 207whp and the torque maxed out at 4,500rpm's and was practically level all the way to 8k @ 145-150ft-lbs. I posted dyno vids of it on here like 4 years ago.

Get an H22 VTEC. Long block and transmission $1,500-1,800 or less.

Thank you.

You will be lucky to even make 180 flywheel hp with the g23 setup without very expensive aftermarket parts...
