Just wondering if you could bring a H23 to about the same power as a H22 without a turbo or Nos... like bolt ons, cams, cai... you name it... can it be done for a reasonable price?

 

could it be brought up to the stock H22 power? - Yes
Reasonable price? - What do you consider reasonable?

Type S pistons ($330) + H22 top end ($450) + Good valve job ($150) + Type S cams ($600)...

Add fuel management (Hondata) and a little tuning and you will have most likely surpassed your goal...

+ Good header + Good intake manifold and 220+WHP is easily attainable...

well reasonable meaning less than a H22 swap

So basically your telling me to do the H23 Vtec

 

blah w/ all that... nitrous is your friend

 

but wouldnt you have to re-inforce the inside of your engine before you go with Nos?

not for a 60 shot(power rated to the flywheel)... you need the highest octane you could get, retard timing by 2 degrees, and a set of one step colder plugs... this ofcourse if your engine is healthy

 

ya my compression was 210 across the board when i checked last week... so engine is going strong...

what 1/4 time did you get with a 60 shot?
