Just get a JDM H22, swap, and start building that. The Type S motor is not cost-effective; for the money difference between the two, you could build the JDM H22 to be a good deal more powerful than just the Type S. As for the H22/H23 frankenstein....if you're willing to spend that much money after about 10k miles, then go ahead.

There are no "Pro's", you talking about trying to upgrade a lame low HP riceboy wannabe go cart. Get a life, get a job, and go get yourself a real car. Try a M series BMW or other fine piece of German engineering you "I was blinded by dental floss" LOSER!
anyways....listen bro VTEC on your H23 = downtime
Personally I don't think you can do it. Cause most engine builders can't get it right. Just buy another engine and save yoursef the trouble unles you have money to spend.

You are not a car enthusiast. Hondas are as competent cars as BMWs. I speak form experience...are you??

the pro's more horse power and torque the con's the down time of the process to do it. I had mine since mid 98 or so and had no problems. go for it.
