i have siezed h22a4.
removed the head.
found someone who give me a short block h23 for 150-200/

i need like a real walkthough. not that list of parts bull.
also how reliable is this setup/
i been searchin!!

btw this is going into my eg civic hatch wich has an h22a1. which started trippin the knock sensor everytime i drive!!!!

any setup can be reliable if built right. from what ive read its not that great of a swap though, the bottom end of the H23 wasnt made to spin to 7000+ rpms, it doesnt have the oil squirters like the H22... why not just rebuild your motor or get another H22 shortblock? i think you need to use that old search button

h23vtec is the way to go, you'll love the power, just dont rev it higher then needed and you'll be fine....everything needs to be vtec and you can take that all from your old longblock...

he means you will have to swap all of your vtec parts from your H22 motor onto the H23 block, pretty much the only H23 parts you will use are the block, pistons, and crank. i cant remember exactly how the swap is done you have to search for that

lol basically, just gets me mad that the is an h23vtec faq thread and people are too lazy to search...i did 4 of these i know them pretty good...he's just asking the wrong questions.

djsire

ok rewind.

I need to know if i could use a
98 vtec head with a obd1 h23 block!
and if its the same parts swap.

high_revs

plain and simple yes.

need:

h22 head
h22 headgasket
h22 headstuds
h22 lower timing gear
h22 timing belt
h22 header
h22 water pipe
h22 thermostat housing
h22 water pump

i think thats pretty much it...

djsire

dont i need to use the h22 pistons?
i heard that using the h23 pistons will bring my compression down
to lik 9.1 or something

wantalude

since youre being owned by the search here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=510617

thats all the info you need to make it work, if you need someone to hold your hand while you install it, just lemme know

yeh compression will drop due to the h22's bigger combustion chamber in the head, but will still be a dope setup, for now atleast.
