Anyone In Denver

[CyborgGT]

When are you planning to perform your swap anyway? Hopefully we're both good to go well before the first Spring meet, eh?

[Extacee]

Yeah once I collect all the gasket and some sensors ill be set. I just need to get my talon running and then put my cb in winter mode and take the f bomb out. I plan on just filling the mounts with polyurithane and tucking my wires. I still have to source an h22 tranny so we will see.

i dislike my skunk2 drop set up... i wanna go lower

if you ever plan on going turbo id suggest keeping the f22 tranny.

Planning on taking my car to the dyno in 3 or so weeks! for the ft collins area guys ill let you know when so you can come watch history in the making lol! im not leaving the dyno until i break 750 hp.

[CyborgGT]

Hell yeah, I'll pedal my ass down there! You still at the 475hp in your sig, or was that at 25psi (IIRC you mentioned being at 15 now in your bay tuck thread)?

Which dyno, I assume PFI?

im not sure where its at now but its over 500. its at 20psi now and much faster than it was on the previous setup at 25-27psi. on the dyno ill be running 30+psi and nitrous.

[CyborgGT]

Do you drive it on the street, outside of meets, I mean? And I thought Mitsubishi cramming 400bhp into the Evo's 2.0 was insane! Mad respect, man.

[turbo90accord]

its not my daily driver but yea i drive it around quite a bit.

[CarbonEuroR]

Dang drivin around town with that kind of power, 750hp would be something to see!

[CyborgGT]

With seriously built V8s, they emit a sound even at idle that lets you know the slightest flex of the driver's big toe will stomp your ass into last week. Is your car remotely 'dime-a-dozen tuner' sounding any more?

h22cb719, I don't suppose you would know how compatible certain OBD1 H22 parts would be with an H23A VTEC to convert it from OBD2? Namely the P13 (the 23 redlines at just 6500), injectors, and distributor, as well as the water pump and timing/balancer belts. I'm guessing I can get all Prelude OBD1 H22A parts, with the possible exception of a chipped... P28? All this time it's taking me to save up for an engine, I'm rethinking my plans!

[h22cb719]

I replied to your swap thread man, check it out.

Dood, Im honestly gonna go ahead and suggest you just go with the H22a man..... The extra torque of the H23 isnt worth the extra headache/cost of the H23.....but thats just IMHO.

BTW, no more CB7 for meeeeeh...... it went bye bye on Friday. Long story. kinda bummed

[CyborgGT]

It's not so much the money or torque difference I care about, it would just be cool having an engine that's not quite so much a cookie-cutter CB swap. I don't think you can just slap an H22 head on an H23 block, I read there's an extra oil passage in the 22/23V blocks for the VTEC solenoid or something like that.

... Blown engine bye-bye, or sold bye-bye?

[h22cb719]

Doing an H22 head on an H23 is like doing an LSvtec, in big block form. Thats basically what Honda did with the H23a vtec..... You plug one hole on the head, run a feed line to the head fron a sandwich plate or T fitting (latter of which isnt as reliable/efficient), wire your vtec and tune.

No, no way blown motor bye-bye. Got rid of it bye-bye. I wound up picking up a hatch that Ill be doing an F20B to B swap in. Basically the same as an H2B, but cheaper and more rev-happy!

Im working on saving up some coin now. If anyone needs work done on their cars, I charge $30/hr, have lifts and tools/etc, am ASE certified in 5 areas and Honda Certified as of 2007. Only catch is Im in the Springs......

Get at me, or send people my way! Ill post some pics of it in a lil while....

[Extacee]

Well on the h23 and h22 blocks are of the same casting. The only difference ous the internals. When you slap on an h22 head on a h23 block the only thing you gotta do is remove the oil plug from the block, add the oil squirters on the bottom, h22 timing belt and water pump and manual tensioner if necessary.

I forgot to mention h22 head gasket and head bolts
