Ive got a 94 Si... and I must say its not easy finding good parts for the h23. Im planning on doing a h22a swap later on down the road, but for now I just want some power in the h23. Does anyone know of any decent companies that make anything for an h23a1?

 

there is quite a few parts... what are you looking for?

 

search for topics on boosted h23s you may change your mind about wasting money on a h22 swap

 

well thats kind of been my thought, either boosting the h23 or swapping for h22a... but if I boost the h23a I want to make sure its safe, I'd really like internals (not immediately as Im in high school I couldnt afford to boost it and build it) but for now I would just like some good bolt ons, make some basic power before I get farther into it.
IM, TB (could I use a TB from an accord on this?), good set of headers, etc...
and If Im kind of thinking about building my own intake... maybe an airbox if possible instead of the filter on a stick design, get rid of heatsoak and hydrolock.

any suggestions at all are welcome, as I just got the car not too long ago and Im not sure what to do as far as mods go... so any advice would be helpful!

 

K&N drop in filter (available at any Advance Auto)
Megan header
Magnaflow/Carsound cat
N1 exhaust
Maxbore.com TB and intake port match

 

kid Im gonna be as honest and nice as I can be about this topic....save your money......dont wigger rig anything up...live on honda tech, hustle your *** off...then do it 1 way 1 time the right way.............spend money on making it look good in your opinion as people here on HT are quite biased get soem good lowering springs, maybe upgrade the rotors, rims, but it be dumb to spend money on a header that wont be ther if your gonna boost??? so I hope I was nice and insightful and maybe you can see the light good luck dood

 

anyone know anything about Injen RD intake, or AEM CAI or V2? Although those are filter on a stick, just wondering if anyone had any problems/good things to say.
Yes I forgot about the Megan headers... for exhaust Im thinkin either Evo 2, or a Thermal that I found... maybe Megan NA Type if they make it for the Si.

 

I found some used Tein coilovers (I forgot where) for 400 bucks. I just want it to sit nice, have some ok wheels for now and good tires, and then after that IDK.
well guys Im at my 5 posts per day limit, I'll be back tomorrow!

My best advice to you: Don't buy anything yet! It's hard, but if you do lots of reading before you jump into these things you'll do a lot better.

You can really get anything you want for an H23, it's just ha bit harder to find.

 

If you have NO IDEA what you plan to do with the car right now, why the h3ll would you start modding it just for a short period of time.

Sorry, man, but there are so many people out there who don't think things through.

 

yea man, keep researching your **** and figure out what you wanna do.
as soon as i got my H23 'lude, i had absolutely 0 intentions of boosting it.


now that i've "wasted" almost a grand on header, exhaust, clutch, and flywheel, i'm EXTREMELY interested in boosting, and those mods will basically become useless

but i can tell you, there's PLENTY of **** for H23's

Until I can figure out exactly where Im going under the hood wise, Im gonna do suspension/wheels/tires/bodywork (hit and run, ), and maybe paint it, but hopefully before I dump money into painting I'll have my power solution figured out

good choice....

 

I've seen some insane dynoruns from people going all-motor H23, where the torque was higher than the whp, like 189whp and 198 ft-lbs. Made me think twice about getting an H22.

X2

 

Probably gonna get the same color (black) after I get the passenger door and rear quarter panel fixed... tein coilovers... not sure what wheels/tires to get. not sure about what to do with brakes... Ive noticed when looking a brake upgrade parts (rotors lines etc.) that some specify vtec or non vtec... would it make a difference?

 

yes, vtec's have bigger brakes

 

So would it matter if I used some of vtec specified brake componets on a h23a1 si?
if it wont make a difference then I might have some brakes picked out

 

cool if I was you I wouldnt waste anymore of your post diggin for answers..you ahve an Idea of what you want to do...NOW GO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
