H23 si 2.3
swap for
H22a1 vtec

questions...

is the price and time worth the swap?
Mounts price?
the change in toruqe and hp?
should i jus upgrade the stock motor?
tranny should i get if swaped?
or jus turbo the h23?

 

thought id be a fun question bump.

 

It definitely makes the car more fun. However, the main difference you will notice is after 50 mph. 3rd gear pulls are night and day difference.

If you're looking for more power, I would just do the swap.

If you're looking for a bump in tq, too, turbo is a good way to go. I would stick with your H23 in that case.

 

thanks will like more input please...

 

H23-VTEC ... that is my recommendation. Keep your H23 block and throw an H22Vtec head on it. It's not that simple, but if you have time for some research, you'll find a lot of information about this combo.

 

Whats the condition of your h23 motor?
