what is the right way in swapping an H23 vtec in accord?

I just read a thread back in 2003 saying people have had broken cranks, spun bearings, and popped timing belts

 

Swapping it doesnt break the crank, bearings, or timing belts. Driving and Revving the engine like a B series or H22 is what kills them.

 

ic thanks so do you think an H23 would be better than h22

 

That is a very broad question. Both motors have their strengths, so its up to you to decide what you are going to use it for.

 

mainly normal driving basically I usually end up going up hills and occasionally racing people at the lights haha off the line though

 

With the hills you might like the added benefit of the lower end torque with the h23 vtec. Both engines put out about the same torque but your going to hit the powerband much.lower with the h23a. All just depends on what you want. I bought the h23a for the increased displacement and torque from it. Hp wise is exactly the same as a h22a4

 

if I have a 2000 should I get a 2000 engine b/c on hmotors the h23 vtec says 2000 and h22 92-95 or 97-98
