Is it worth even making a h23 to a h23VTEC? I'd just turbo it.

I have a h23 in my garage and I have no idea what to do with it.

what do you mean keep saving? i got my jdm h22 from hmotorsonline for 1950. out the door (i picked it up). I'd say either turbo it or just get an h22.

um yo yeah that vtec 23 is the shiz

but really if u want to do any thing to the 23 its really a waste if you dont redo the bottom end first it doesnt like revs. i spun a rod bearing in mine. gettin jdm h22 all the way that is prob the best bet, or just buy a civic hatch and start with that would be way faster for less money

send the $3000 into my bank account, until you can make decision for yourself instead of asking people on the internet what to do with your money.

Should have made this a pole from turbo to H22 swap. I don't think anyone voted for simple bolt ons. BTW, I voted go turbo with that kind of money.

get better brakes (cryo treated blanks), race brake pads, SS brake lines, TEIN SS coilovers, camber kit, strut bar, CAI, header, exhaust, 4 light weight rims, and you're done with your $3000

Save for a h22 then use the h23 for a boat anchor.

spend the $3000 on a new computer so you can search faster....

p.s: after seeing some of the dumb **** people say on here, if you trust the people on h-t to decide what you should spend your money on, you need to rethink a little.....
