First things first... I/E/H... now the question is... which ones? intake... exhaust... and header...


After that what do you do really... i meen, what order do you do things in, this is my driver so i cantjust sit it aside and build it all at once, its a piece by piece thing... please help... im not going all out drag car... but cams headwork sleeves rods pistons etc... just need to know how to go about it... thanks... BTW...its an H23... which makes it a bit tougher

 

a 3" intake, a DTR header, and a 2.5-3" exhaust. you should get a h22 head and put that on there too.

 

I would port the head first, and than get cams,header and a good ecu.

 

I thought DTR headers were side exit... im lookin for something that is still semi-streetable. and port the head first? really? before i/h/e ?? what i was thinkin was intake header exhaust... then 370cc injectors fuel pump headwork cams camgears and hondata to tune everything. eventually i would sleeve it and run forged pistons.. but thats last.

 

might even run a small 50shot later on for that added boost... but thats after i do everything else

 

btw... not doin H22 headswap... for that amount of money i could run a turbo. Does DTR make a H23 header?

doubt it. Your biggest bang for buck will be the head swap. Then get the IHE.
You're using an inferior product now, why wouldn't you upgrade to the best you can buy before attempting to make the most power from it?

 

because im a broke student and this is going to be an overtime deal and im trying to make the most of what i have considering the H23 isnt that bad but its definately not an h23... anyone know how much the head swap is... ?

 

not an H22***

He make street headers also.

 

sadly enough it's not just a headswap. you have to swap out everything that touches the timing belt. the headgasket, the oil squirters and the ecu. the best thing you can do is start out with an h22 and work from there. it's going to be your biggest increase in power. plus h23's don't make for very good allmotor applicants.

 

yeah i think you might be better off starting with a H22, due to the fact that it's all set up and ready for boltons.... you could easily get close to 200 whp with a little work !!

 

anyone know how much an H22 swap is? al included? its from an h23 to an H22 so there might not be as much involved as say dropping an H22 into a civic... i heard the H22 will bolt right up to the H23 transmission right? sounds like a good idea.... the amount of money i would have to spend to get my H23 to the same level as a Stock H22 is probably close to the amount for the swap right lol
