    H23a1 build

    Hey guys I have a H23a1 in my accord and trying to either make the block vtec or turbo. I want to do which ever is more reliable. Right now money isn't the issue so if both are possible that would be even better. My thoughts for the h23 is to bolt on the h22 vtec head and whatever supporting mods I need. Either way I will probably be turboing the car within the year. Hoping for some good opinions... thanks

    I think if your looking for reliability you should keep it "AS IS"

      Keep it how you got it, until you know the ropes.

          Excellent decision that could save you major headaches and setbacks.Use this sites search bar to look up turbo setups or look in the forced induction forums.Research is a must if your gonna go turbo.You can stay all motor too and be very happy as well.

            Ok so I'm a little more ready now. I'm ditching the entire thought of the h22 head. No point since the h23 head makes a bettre lower end.

            I am going for a turbo setup now. Things I am looking to get.

            Hey what do you think about this?
            Garret GT3076R BB turbo .63 AR(Might go with smaller turbo)
            Upgrade to 255 walbro lph
            upgrade to 550cc or 600cc injectors?(currently at 440?)
            ecu chipped ??? (p06) Hondata
            ...Then a turbonetics intercooler. Do I have an intercooler already? Maybe i'm confused with the radiator?
            Boost controller(Greddy)
            SAFC(Apexi)
            Turbo Timer(Greddy)
            Need to change up head for turbo?
            ARP head studs
            BISI head gasket?
            Maybe save up for new clutch.


            If I'm missing anything please let me know. Suggestions are welcome too.
            Information on my car will be on this post. I bought the car from F22B.

              In my opinion I think you need some more time!

              I think your a bit confused. That is ether a radiator or A/C condenser not an inner cooler. Unless someone boosted the car before you bought it. Did you buy the 440cc injectors or do you still have the stock 240cc H23 injectors? No need for SAFC if you are using a chipped and tuned ECU. The stock H23 head will work just fine for boost.

              If money is not an option. My suggestion would be for you call up a few shops and get quotes on building a proper boost setup for your car. Better to have someone who knows what they are doing build it right the first time.

                  h23 OEM crank has issues when lots of power is applied.
                  It is not slotted for balance, nor ready for high horsepower.
                  So if you want your car reliable keep it as is.
                  Or build that bottom end to keep you going.
                  Your going to run into issues whenever you add performance.
                  x2 on what Ghost said about SAFC and ECU Tuning.


                  You def got about a year left of research before doing either option.

                    Ya it was just the radiator.... and I believe it has the 440cc injectors. Probably gunna wait on the turbo though.
