Default H22 head on my H23 block

i was thinkin of puttin a H22 head on my H23, ive never heard of anyone doin it round here but in japan i know its been doin...said it added about 40HP or so, because of the fact you have to get a new ECU, wiring ****, etc...but just seein if anyone had any facts they know about this. thanks

I do know it's been done. I am quite interested myself, as I have wanted and talked about doing this before. One question, I thought the bottom of the blocks, h22a1/h23a1, were almost the same. Please correct me if I was wrong about engine codes as well.

BTW, I'd love to see a faq or write up about this addition/modification.

*edit* added "almost"...

Search around for H23vtec and stuff like that, theres a bunch of info on it. It HAS been done, some people successfully and some not. One that i've seen a while ago was i think Jeff's from ImportBuilders.

It might just be cheaper to go w/ a straight h22
