I was reading on HondaStyle.com and saw a post that said you can redrill the bolts for a stock DSM turbo manifold to fit an H23! Anyone tried this before?

 

bump

 

I highly doubt it, BUT...if you find the gasket from both manifolds, you can kinda compare it to see if it'll fit? At the most, you'll probably need to port the exhaust manifold to match the H23 exhaust ports. Or vice versa.

 

Apparently someone's done it before, i just couldn't figure out who. They say the exhaust ports line up almost perfectly, so I may give it a try sooner or later, just wanted to see who else has done/heard of it.

 

This guy claims he did it...

Uh, I'll believe it when I see some pics. Plus, he didn't sound too bright either. Venom 400 fuel pump? Yea.....

And good luck on his FMU + check valve setup.

 

lol, nevermind...thought this would be another break through, like H22 pistons in the H23 or something.....

 

umm no it does work. maybe that guy is lying for whatever reason, but it will work. I have seen it line up on my f22, you just need to redrill the holes. ports line up fine. this one is not mine, but you see the idea, just redrill holes.

 

holy ****... now i can go tubular! **** hell yea.... btw h22 uses the same piston as h23.. the compression is different but u know what i mean..... at least JE has same pn for the 2..

what? the H23 piston has a different compression height....but yes they are the same piston pin bore and width...

 

Yeah; the H22 and H23 have the same bore and wrist pin height, etc., but they're def. not the same piston.

 

thats what i said... i said the cr is different..

 

does the f22 have the same bolt alignment as the h23???

 

im like 99.9% sure they do. But you may want to just double check with someone else.

 

My B, just read it wrong

 

So I guess you're saying you don't like the dropshop manifold?

I believe the holes for f22 and h23 line up also. Can't remember where I heard that though.
