I've seen quite a few people who want to do projects that involve swapping a h23 head onto a f22 block and then adding boost.
Now the best advice for I will give is, Don't. The h23 head swap is by far not the best swap.
First off, Head gasket problems. I don't know about you, but I don't want any part of my head gasket in the combustion chamber. Adding a turbo to the already stock engine is stressing everything and now you have a head that does not directly fit will just stress things even more.
These is no reason not to use the F22A head. The F22A head has been proven many times to make great power. The intake and exhaust ports are great size for many applications.
The main problem with the F22A engine and boost is the pistons, NOT the head. The head is able to rev past 7k rpms easily with no problems. So instead of wasting money on a head swap, I would highly suggest upgrading bottom end components.
That is my advice for the month.
