Okay, so I've been searching this site and CB7tuner and my question is, what should I put in my 92 Lx? I got the car practically given to me and I think the engine is toast. The woman I got it from said she thought she ran it out of oil, but when I got it home there was plenty of oil n the pan. I pulled the valve cover and saw the cam is snapped. Well I'm guessing the oil pump went out and the head got hot and snapped the cam. Idk. So I've found two different motors ones another F22A1 with (I'm told) 119k, the others a H23A1 with around 190k. I'm told the H23 just had the timing replaced and it's in a CB7 with electrical problems, so I'll get p14 ecu too. So my question is which way should I go? What are the pros and cons? Both motors will cost me about the same. Thanks

 

If you're going to go h23 you may as well go h22. The only difference will be two vtec wires and a slightly more expensive ecu.

 

Well, I'm on a budget and both motors will cost around the same. I'm wanting to get the car running during spring break next week.

 

What are your future plans with it? I'd go H23 if you never really plan on a cam(s) or anything past typical bolt ons.

If you want to make cheap power it's hard to fault the f22. I usually get a cam from the local pick n pull junkyard for $6.

 

My only plans are for the car to be a DD. I just needed a four door. I've been driving an Integra for the past few years and really wanted to find a four door five speed Integra, but after six months of searching I gave up. I use to own a 3rd gen Accord and that's what I would like to have, but I looked for one for quite sometime and gave up on it as well. So, I'm just going with the 92 since it was practically given to me. I've never owned a cb7 and hopefully my experience with it will be as pleasant as with the other hondas I've owned.

 

They're great cars! Just drop in the H23, it's super easy, especially since you would have another car to scope while doing it.

 

stick with the H, the extra hp will put a smile on ur face!!

 

h22!
