why doesnt anyone make phat **** for h23.. if more people would make **** more people would mod em..
like a nice mugen valvecover would be nice
nice street turbo intake mani would be nice
really good cams would be nice like jun or spoon
its even kinda hard to find valve springs and retainers..

 

250 whp at 7psi.......i dont think your doing too bad with it...
wanna trade??

 

I hear ya...When I first started this, I considered doing an h22 swap JUST so I could find parts easier. How %ucked up is that?!? But if you put enough time into it, you can do just about anything that the other guys can. It just takes more patience and most of the time more money You can send your valve cover out to a place to have it powdercoated or painted or whatever...but it isn't JUN or Mugen...You can find rods but they have to be Crower - EXPENSIVE...You can have your head sent to Portflow and they can do a full valvetrain but again - EXPENSIVE. Just finding parts here and there at GB prices is very very hard for h23a. But hey, Boosted, you are doing pretty good with those numbers. What size turbo?

 

I WANT TURBO!!!!!

what kind of turbo kit you running?

 

quit your bitchin and buy a real motor

 

when i get my **** built we will line up the h23 4th gen and the h22 5th gen.. dont forget im skinnier than you so i have a weight advantage! aha

 

just buy a vtec head? Some bad *** turbo cams..problem solved

 

yes do that and you should be set

 

yeah, but then aren't you just opening up another can of reliability issues? And in my personal application, it would mean scrapping the manifold I already ordered.

How many people have gone h23 hybrid turbo? I've tried searching that before and couldn't find anyone. i don't think satan ever turboed his hybrid. can't remember now. too long ago. but any thoughts on h22/h23 turbo?

 

isn't there a stroker kit for the h23, that increases it to 2.5?
just get the engine don't do the head swap...I agree with the reliability issues.

 

and..have you considered a Gude head package? That will be my first stop if i hit the lotto. Although, a Mügen valve cover would strike my fancy just fine

I'm pretty sure the stroker kit is for H22's

 

The gude head package is what i've been considering. there is also a local place that i may try. i just need to find an h23 head to work with. I already have the block. I don't want to deal with any down-time

 

hell no im not getting a gude head.. u know how much they mill that bitch.. my friend had his that was 70 thousandths over.. put it on and it was detinating like a bitch. ill just get DPR head work with a benchflow if thats the case

 

Frisbee here in town just dyno'd his fully built (block and headwork too) H23 and made 332 whp. This is on the same dyno I made 261.5 on for comparison, so H23's can do pretty well.....

scratch Gude...i'll just get it done locally.

this way, if it gets %ucked uped, i can have a little one on one time with the shop

 

oh my bust..i did not know they over milled it like that. guess i'll be goin elsewhere when i get the cash.

 

portflow did my retainers valves springs.....but they did some custom stuff with dual valve springs = expensive.

 

never insult the h23 mr nc

 

i assume you are talking to me, my response

 

he just mad cause he hit a dogg and he is trying to vent on the h23... ahah dont be mad when i have more torque sam.. its all gravy

 

Someone want to tell me some mroe about this fabled 2.5L stroker kit? A link would work fine.

 

H22s and H23s are pretty much the same (block wise)...So any internal part for the H22 will work with an H23

ahhhh, no.

 

Are you talking to me? ... Because the blocks are pretty much the same with the exception of the oil squirters... I have torn down and built enough H22 and H23 blocks to say so with confidence
