H23 in a CRX? good? fast?
i have a 95SE prelude with a H23a1 in it...i threw a rod and broke the crank...i got my motor TOTALLY rebuilt...with 20 over pistons and bored cylinders....i bought anohter H23 block to use cause i figured the other was cracked....i spent $2490 overall on the rebuild...now the prelude is runnin great...
question is...i still have the extra H23 block....i can get another H23 head, and build it to be a runner...i have a 88 CRX i am making a straight line drag racing car...with roll cage and everything....how would a H23 in a CRX be? it has 160 horses, and not sure of torque....in my prelude with just i/e, i run 10.45 in the 1.8...and 16.0 in the 1/4....95SE is an automatic....my CRX is a 5spd..
i know a H22 in a CRX is tough...i figure a H23 is the same thing...just thinking what i could do with extra parts lying around....ill prolly lean towards the H22 in the CRX..

this topic is discussed from time to time. most people are against the concept, due to the frame mutilation that it requires. if you were to brace the chassis appropriately, it could be a pretty lethal setup. is the H23 a single cam? does anyone make a cam for it? would you have access to a type s trans with lsd? that would make or break the swap--traction is going to be a nightmare without an lsd.

H23 is a DOHC non vtec

better be ready to add weight to the rear end, just the motor alone will make that car lean on the front wheels and rear wheels wil be off the ground.
That motor is heavy
