    Frankenstein lives!! H23VTEC headswap complete

    OK, for all those who said it wasn't worth it, can't compete with an h22, and those who do it only do it cause they can...welll....I felt it was worth it, it can compete with an h22, and YES, I did it because I can. Ok...ok...I actually did it because my timing belt broke. I happened to have a jdm h22 head lying around so I figured why not.

    H2s Vtec swap onto h23 block is complete. Pics will be up soon as well as a parts list of what was done and what was needed. I still have some things I need to work out since I am throwing some cels, but car runs smooth.

    Props go to MRX for tuning, Jess for cartin' my ass around, Ivie for putting up with Carlos dealing with my project, Willy and Juan for really assisting in the headwork and installation, and most of all Wikked who assisted me throughout the entire buildup from getting parts, to doing the swap to just making things look pretty. Thanks again guys, couldn't have done it without you!!

      lol.. all for the love... throughout a timespan of 3 weeks i put up with my family wanting to kick me out over this( something adam didnt know until he reads this) my gf almost leaving me.. and far most.. just drama.. in every aspect.. was it worth it? yes/no.. there will be another cb7tuner member that will get the WIKKED treatment very soon.. but i wont be as attached to his car as i was to adam's... anycase.. ill post pictures and mods list soon..

      btw.. there still a few crimlins left to work out.. for example.. no vtec.. even so.. i got 10 buxs says this car takes a h22a prelude..

          everyone always talked shit about ACTUALLY doing it, and you actually DID it. Get some slips when you can. btw, great initiative.

              how is she running: flawless adam got about 300mpg from FL to GA shes running rich.. but like i mentioned shes on a basemap and with the CEL light on for tps and Vtec once thats all worked out and shes tuned.. it will run like a bat out of hell..

              i personally got to start the car initially.. started first try.. shes quiet as hell at idle..the tanabe hyper medallion isnt even noticeable at idle

              willys brother peeked into the drivers side window and looked at me and said "wait... its on"?! " i nod" he replies with "damn that things quiet"

              all and all.. it was great fun.. i met two wonderful ppl and will be seeing them again (this isnt the end of this project)

                          so much to think about when i have a h22 head in my back yard. hmmm. lol its all good i like how this came out. if i ever found a h23 block i would like to mate it. but since i just want to work on my real h22 and car. i dont have time for it.

                          but its great that it works. well for the vtec hopefully it gets working soon
                          congrats. get some clearer pics so we can see!!!!!!
