Aight, i hate to ask this cause i know this topic has prolly been covered a few times, but the archive search isnt working right now..but i would like to know How h23 vtec works... would u do this by putting a h22a head on a h23 (just a guess) ?? if so how hard is this job, and is it worth doing?? thanx, this will help my out alot

I have H23 Vtec and it is way worth it. For more information contact payntechnologies. That is who did mine.

im sure there is a kit you can buy for hybrid h23. i know that there is a kit for ls/vtec... thats what i used. it came with everything you needed, and detailed instructions... (where to tap your block and other stuff).

HotWheelz

don`t need to tap on block for H series!

LiveWire23

so basically grab a h22 head, bolt the sucker on and pray? What about the ECU? does it need to be wired to something for solenoid activation? And I heard something about some oil squirters?

props_honda85

aight thanx..now how would i get ahold of payntechnologies is there a site, or phone #?? and how much do u think that kit'll cost me and about how much do u think it'll run me to get it done professinally??

talk to satan_srv.... he is mr h23vtec. he's the guy who finally answered my question about the f22 block working with my vtech head.

drift

all you need is a head, ecu, and h22 headgasket.

remember to pull the small plug out of the vtec oiling channel before bolting the head on.

FIRST AND FOREMOST if you don^`t know the exact detail, don`t post...

you need much more than that...

the thermostat assmebly of a h22a head is differnt from a h23, so is the water pipe, the water pump is different as the head studs, as the timing belt gears and adjusters, intake and exaust manifolds as vacum lines and colland lines..

don`t post if you dont`have proper first hand experience... i have done this swap personally , i know what is needed.. and simply not a head!!!!

and you also need to modify the block also to work.... not as easy as they say !

I learned the hardway and won`t simply give out the details but from everybody i`ve talked to not ONE, had the right steps or had the proper details.. and that makes it harder when you encounter suprises...

easier to make an h23vtec from a 2.2 than a 2.3....

i gotta run got better things to do..

PrecisionH23a

who needs oil squirters anyways

alright *******, people come here for help asking questions about problems they are having, thats the whole reason this site was invented(lets hope anyway). If you did the swap right, why wouldn't you tell anyone how you did it, thats the whole reason people come here, wtf is your problem if you're not gonna help then stay the fu*k out of the thread.....

bro , if you have ne questions give sav leone a call over at IMPO performance, or i can help you out, i did it to mine, fully built h23 bottom end with h22 head, turbo, its was a bitch, but its not impossible like some people say it is.... at least most of us still know what this site is all about...... helpin out other tuners

props_honda85

Thanx man, im glad some1 else thought that he wasnt being a total *** other than me, i just havent had enough time to get on and look at the thread..i bet that guy wouldnt have went through so much heartbreak and trouble if someone would have helped him out like im trying to get people to help me...thanx for the info guys, it's opened my eyes just what i got to do so thanx again..

no comment.

on a side note, can i use my sohc block to put a vtech head on? i want vtech yO!

Turbocivic94

It will be easier if u buy the whole H22 motor. Little parts will break your pocket.
H22A Head (complete) w/injectors
Head Bolts
Head Gasket
Timing Belt
Timing Belt Pulley that goes on the oil pump
Water Pump
Thermostat Assembley
ECU
H22 Header
I forgot if you need H22 oil pump or not
All these items has to be from H22
Sorry if I forgot anything, I hope this Helps
Try to rebuilt the bottom end like main bearing and rod bearings

HotWheelz

actually you don't need the pulley for the balance shafts *oil pump* that one is turned by the balance shafts, however you need the crank trigger... you also need the "WATER PIPE", stock h23 oil pump works... headbolts on h22a are longer than h23, also you can re-use the distributor.. also some modifcation on block mounting stuff, power steering brakets etc...

also modifying some coolant lines etc.. and the ecu....

Turbocivic94

Dont forget to take the oil orifice out of the block. Its right in the middle of the block on the backside where knock sensor is. If u have any more ?'s e-mail me

I think u need the sprocket that goes on the crank for timing belt.

Greyout

I have a complete H22 head & intake manifold (including VTEC solenoid) for sale, hit me up at SEANKREILLY@HOTMAIL.COM.... I also have the fuel rail, injectors, fuel pressure regulator (adjustable) etc....

mt23vtecbb2

yea it is more complex than just puting the head on. that might work (not really) but i went a little futher than that, too make sure it lastes

PrecisionH23a

You'll need the "Vtech Type R" badge on the back of your trunk as well if you want to utilize the power.
