Nah my names Anthony lol and yeah, I was talking to a few people today about it, I might just rebuild the engine and turbo it, but maybe not, as for the ecu I am just running the one from the f22 right now, I have to call around and figure something out, there's a guy down here I know that is pretty good with computers so I am sure we can figure something out. I don't know if it would be better to find an f23 vtec ecu or get one out of an siOriginally posted by 1990exr View PostComment

not sure on the lip just yet man, it had one on it before and I took it off right before it was painted, to be honest I kindof like it alot more without the lipOriginally posted by 199Dakord View PostComment

You sound like you're extremely confused on the ECU situation. You're not helping matters by throwing other suggestions in there like "Si ECU". What's an Si ECU? An '88-'91 Civic/CR-X Si? A '92-'95 Civic Si? A '92-'95 Prelude Si? The term Si doesn't explain anything.
If you're looking for an ECU that will allow you to operate VTEC in roughly the same manner that the factory intended for that engine then a P0A from a '94-'95 Accord EX with an F22B1 might be your best bet. It's still not ideal but it will include hardware for VTEC to operate on the F23A1, assuming it's been physically wired up. There is no OBD1 ECU that's compatible with your engine exactly. The P0A is just the closest alternative.
Long term, once you've done a few things to move towards your goal of higher power, I would get a P28 that has been chipped and have your car dynoed for those modifications specifically.
To achieve those power goals I would ditch the F23A1 head for an F22AX head. I know there's people that get tired of everyone shrugging off these heads but my chief complaint would be manifold options. An H23A1 manifold CAN be put on an F22B1/F23A1 head, but only after a LOT of work. Even then, the port design isn't ideal. Also, your header choices are non-existent with that head in terms of a design that's going to get you to those power numbers.
Compression would be the next thing to address. A popular option with the F23AX crowd have been K20A2 pistons. It will gain a static compression ratio that's a little high for most people's taste. A better option amongst OEM offerings could be the K20A3 piston but I've never liked the design of it.
All of these things are things that will have to be addressed if trying to achieve those power numbers without turbo. If I were being completely honest, I'd say even 220 is out of reach for a well-mannered street car with that engine.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint.

Thanks guys for the positive comments! and yes I plan on getting some 18s for it eventually so the white wont always be there, as far as the ecu goes, yeah im not into all that technology stuff it is jibberish to me. It doesn't matter anyway, on the way to work the other day, not even 15 seconds from the parking lot and my engine shut down on me D: think it's the valves or something, nice puff of black smoke shot right out the throttle body and she wont rev past 3 grand, jdm f22b here I come!Comment
