Darton told me that the F22 MID kit will work with my F23. If that's the case can I just use F22 pistons too?

 

you'll lose your VTEC effectiveness unless you use the F22B1 pistons.

 

I was planning on going with a low compression F22 piston for my turbo setup.

 

i think that the VTEC ones are 9.5:1, but my LX ones were 9.1:1 or so.

you going with an aftermarket piston?

 

hw will vtec effectiveness be lost with economy vtec by not using the f22b pistons??? that doesnt make sense

 

the F22B2 pistons were not designed to be run with VTEC.

 

The F22 pistons will be aftermarket. So there isn't a vtec problem.

Wrong. The F22B1 and F22B2 have the exact same bottom end (except the B1 has an oil baffle at the oil pan). They are both 8.8:1 CR.

If you do this, you'll lose .2 in CR. Unless you could get aftermarket pistons, or if another F motor has 9:1 CR, that you could get the slugs from. Maybe the F22B or H23 pistons will work?

 

One more question. Will the F22 pistons fit in my F23 rods?

 

I highly doubt it, but they may.

 

the f23 has a bigger bore and stroke and an f22 - maybe im crazy but it doesnt seem to me like the sleeve kit will work...
