Default Will a VTEC Neuspeed strut tower bar fit my H23??

I bought one and I just found out it was for the 4th Gen VTEC Lude. Will it still fit my 1992 Si with H23??

Thanks

I think I remember reading somewhere that the VTEC bar will fit the Si, but the Si bar won't fit the VTEC.

There should be no difference. Clearance should be the same.

The VTEC bar will fit the Si - but the Si will not fit the VTEC. The reason is that the VTEC head comes up higher in the engine bay than the Si head. The VTEC valve cover would interfere with the Si bar; thus, Neuspeed came up with the VTEC bar, which would clear the taller head.

Bar will fit both. Chassis is the same, only different is the H22A motor is 1" taller. A Neuspeed bar fittined on a Prelude equipped with an H22A (1,4) will have a 1/16" space between the top of the oil cap and the bottom of the bar. You will need to loosen the bar to add oil. Other than that, its a perfect fit. I had my Neuspeed bar installed on my Prelude after I swapped my JDM H22a, went with a Spoon Sports bar and sold off the Neuspeed, but it will in fact, fit.
