Default Rebuild Or Buy a New Engine?.......Advice Needed!



I have a 95 Prelude SE.....with 108,000 miles on it's H23a...and I love the car but I don't like the mileage. I'd like to start working on this cars engine..an NA car....should I rebuild my current H23a with new head....pistons.....rods...header..or should I just buy a JDM H22A? I'm thinking the H22A would be just as much as all those parts for the H23 combined....leaving me with a newer engine with more HP and more mod possibilities......Thanks for your advice on this subject..

The H22 is a real nice motor. I think I'd go that route, as it would be a perfect fit with few headaches.

It is the opinion of many tuners that the H23 is one of the worst engines honda has manufactured... Personally, I think you should go with the H22, it will definitally give you more options for aftermarket parts.

Hope that helps!

if you can find a good deal on a nice H22, I'd go with it, it is a sweet engine with many mod possibilities. As mentioned before the H23 isnt that great but it can be rebuilt fairly easily and give good results as well, but if I had to chose I'd go with the H22, just find a good place to do the install.
