Any engine can be turboed but how much power you can make is a different story. I'm not very familiar with the G23 (i know its an H and F frankenstein) so i can't really give you much. What are your goals and is the engine internally stock??

PS: Writing more clearly so that we can understand you would be great

I've seen built motors blow up because the owner cheaped out on tuning - nothing is bullet-proof, so to speak. If you boost the stock setup, you could probably get 200-300whp out of it with a good tuner pulling the strings, assuming you don't redline it every gearchange. The good thing about the G23 is the cheapness of the F22 block and its iron sleeves (as you must know of the FRM crap). The downside I could see are the cast pistons, and the possibly sketchy compression. You'd want to keep it below 9.5:1 for (relatively) low boost, 9:1 for moderate boost - I don't know what a G23 works out to.

btw dog, try 2 spl ot da entr wrds. dis aint no cel phn scrn y0

you need to change the pistons or the rods.
i bought a f23 block my brother was using for his g23 build and the valves came in contact w/ the pistons. (partspartsparts)

i may be wrong, but if you do a G23 build a want to turbo it, keep the f23 pistons, should give a 8.8:1 CR, rather than 11.5:1 w/ the K20a2 pistons.
