planning to go turbo with my h23a1...it has a lot of miles right now and has a oil leak...now should i rebuild the motor that i have now or pick up another cheap longblock...

 

what about an f20b?

 

im tryn to stay obd1

 

Buy my H22a you were talkin bout last night!

 

Oh thats right never mind it sold

Now I can get my Hybrid done soon

 

My suggestion is either a stock F22 Accord engine with low boost, or take the H23 head off your current engine and mate it to an F22 or F23 bottomend, upgrade the rings, and boost it some more.

Either way, use an F series bottomend.

Thats what I am doing - option 1 with an H23 head.

 

should i buy another low mileage h23a1 longblock or rebuild the one i have now?

 

Neither

Buy an F22 or F23 bottom end and use your head

Or buy an F22b JDM DOHC longblock off ebay for $500.

Sell yours.

if i do pick up a f22b jdm dohc longblock what tranny do i use and what ecu??

 

The JDM ecu that comes with it or your H23 will also work. Use your H23 tranny.

 

would all my h23a1 parts or most of them fit on the f22b?? or would i have to buy some other parts?? please list some parts i would need so i can go get them soon...

 

Pretty much all the parts your would need can come off your H23a

Just buy things like water pump, seals, gaskets, fluids, clutch/flywheel, belts, plugs, wires, filters (gas/air), etc.etc...

what parts are needed from a f22b??

 

What? Use as many F22b parts as possible. You just may need to use your sensors and stuff. I am not real sure.

I am pretty sure all the parts you buy will be for the H23 though. They are very similar.

There is a few threads here on HT about that engine if you search you can find some good info.

 

if you wanted a cheap lower mileage h23 i think M2B4 has one that he just picked up...PM him
