Ive got a buddy who just bought an accord. The engine is pretty much toast. Anyway, he can get a h23 for $600 for the complete swap. Do any of u run this setup and how do u like it? Any info would be appreciated.

 

that ******* bastard guy!! I had EVERYTHING for an h23 swap but the engines i got were garbage. Its a killer swap if that engine is good for only 600 bones. Run a search, everything is the same cept for wiring, which doesnt require the VTEC wite splicing like the h22a does.

 

You need to start a thread describing exactly what happened with all your car stuff.

 

1st h23a1 : I put timing belt/water pump on, all other belts, day before dropping in I hear a "click" when turning crank over. Turns out the valves were bent. 4 of them. The junkyard offered me $300 to repair them. I told them they could buy a $300 spoon to eat my *** and demanded my money or another engine.

2nd H23a1 : Cracked block. Nuff Said.

 

so is it worth it to swap an h23 into a 95 ex?

 

Man junkyards are so shady I hate them.

They wouldnt swap heads off the 2nd H23 -> the 1st one or you said hell with it?


The F22A1 block I sent to golden eagle ... I got the whole longblock from a junkyard and get this I call him:

Me: I need F22A1:
Him: $200.00
Me: sold.
.... i drive a friends truck to junkyard ...
Him: $450.00
Me: huh?
Him: $250 core for your old engine.
Me: pound sand

I told him to goto hell and what would he want a ragged out F22A1 for anyway except to sell to the next sucker... finally i got outta there @ $250.00.

 

at 600? hell yes.

 

anybody have any quarter mile times for this setup?

 

DLB1994 ran a 14.9 with it i believe. I dunno.

 

yeh i ran a 14.9 all motor and a 13.6 with a 50shot nitrous before i was turbo

 

what exatley is your setup? What tranny are you using? What ecu? TIA

 

a stock h23 with I/H/E msd 6a blaster 2 coil timing was retard at all times
f22b tranny with short tires f22b ecu re-program shifting at 7800-8000rpms

i use to love that engine allmotor ill go to the track and beat gsr's with boltons ,civic si's with boltons ,h22 accord ,b16 civic/crx's

then ill spray and put #'s on the board that no one would believe

out of a car that was 3165 lb with me in it

 

7800-8000?

thats dumb for a few reasons...but whatever floats your boat

 

He has it built up pretty goddamn well.

 

eh?

 

meh.....its built now, thats all ize can tell j00.

 

that's probably why it got built, one too many trips to 8k

He doesnt run balance shafts either.


the dude is CraZy maing.

 

how can he rev that motor to 8 grand? does it make power all the way up to 8?

 

I dont know. Pretty impressive time slips though.

 

very impressive. hopefully with mine i can get those numbers

 

the h23 stops making power before 6500, it sucks on the top end

 

with stock valve adjustments and stock timing it would peak power @ about 7400rpms

but with vary lose valve adjustments timing well retard running a little lean i could make power till about 7800rpms but i was taking it till 8000 at the track so i could fall back in power band going through the gears

 

i dont know whats up with yours i just must had a good one when i got the engine at had 85,000miles on it

 

dyno chart?
