ive got an f22 and an h23 and im planning on boosting one of them this winter, my question is, whichone would you use?
f22= Iron Sleeves + low comp, but its Sohc and there fore less power to begin with but it will hold more boost
h23= Dohc + Not too high comp , which is goood for low end power, but it doesnt have iron sleeves and the compression isnt the best for boost, so i wont be able to run high psi , but its got more power from the get go
I was looking into putin the h23 head on the f22, but after searching a little bit It seems like it s not gonna work
thanks

IMO i would do the F22. just make a list of pros and cons and go from there

thats what I tried doing here, just a few,
anyone want to add any?
thanks

 

i believe the 2 are the same except for the bore. well at least.......bore/stroke and compression are the same for the F23

 

btw......f-series engines are dime a dozen! boost the F, theres not a whole lot power difference between the 2 engines. what, maybe 10hp

 

~20hp 10lb tq.

 

stock for stock theres a decent amount of power difference, but i think ive decided to use the f22 block and run the h23 head and IM, and boost with a 14b, and then later maybe around next winter, I can buy an h22 crank and throw on some forged rods and pistons, without having to resleeve the block , plus if I break something on the block f22 are cheap, very cheap

 

the f likes the boost, and its cheap, id go with that

u should just boost the f22 as is. It will love u for it. save the money involved with running the h23 head on the f22 and put it towards ur build of the h23 or just cash for a bad day

 

You are going to boost with 14b? I'll fall on its *** after 5k but you are deffinetly going to have plenty of low end torque.
Just my 02.

 

yeah, itll a cheap setup, but ive already got every thing the h23 head swap, exept the aebs head studs. so im definetely get gonna do that, i know that the 14b is little but i know someone with a 14b on an h22 and its stays pretty strong untill redline, im not looking for crazy #'s
