    h23 turbo?

    i finally got the h23, its from my friendsprelude, thats in the same car club as me. he swaped his h23 prelude to a h22. his car was turbo before, so i know how the car ran with the turbo. he gave me the h23 turbo manifold. but I WANT VTEC. and i also WANT TURBO. so here are my questions:

    h23 turbo pro/cons
    h23/h22 head n/a pro/cons
    h23/h22 turbo pro/cons

    i can work the h23 but it still not good enough in my eyes
    this cars is a daily driver. so i want something with power, go on gas <i guess> it handles like a dream. basiclly i dont knwo what i want. i would like opinions

    If it were me I wouldn't take that H23 motor to any high amount of psi.. they aren't that strong. It's well known that the H22 isn't gonna last past 6 psi unless you plan on dumping 5-6k into the setup (sleeved and all).

    Your best bet would be F22/H23 head or F22/H22 which was recently done on honda-tech.

    Having an H23 manifold isn't as valuable as a H22 manifold. The H23 shares the same pattern as the F22a1 which many people like to use DSM parts.

    I say if you want out of the box reliability & VTEC then get a junkyard F22b1 + Harness and work with that.

      i have an f22 turbo and vtec. I went with the f22a block and put an f22b head on it which is sohc vtec. I decided to keep the stock computer and hooked the vtec solinoid onto a vafc from apexi...all of htis i got from ebay. the vafc is also my piggyback feul computer and it works mint. Set the vtec and the feul curve, you cant go wrong! total was prob like 3 bills for the head and vafc. The turbo i have is an ihi , and i am actually selling one right now and a manifold that will bolt right to the f22b head. It is the one i was running last summer, but i just got another turbo so i am building another one. The f22 also has some aftermarket support when it comes to rods and pistons and such. I need to upgrade bc i am looking to run 15 psi, so i need forged rods and pistons and rings. A ring in mine blew so i had to put in another engine for winter.

        ok i rahter use the h23 cuz of the closed deck stronger than the f22 open deck. and there are just about he same stuff aftermarket wise for the h23 as the f22 or not more.
        and i ahve a h23 manifold works on a f22 as well
