f23 crank

[keoni96826]

can a f23 crank fit in a f22a?

[PR CB7]

nope

f23=55mm main bearings
f22=50mm main bearings

f23=obd2 engine=55mm
h22 97+= obd2=55mm

h22 95=50mm
f22=50mm
h23=50mm

thanks i knew they fit in the h22 but not the years i was just wondering cause i have a h and a f23 crank but i want to build a g22. just wondered if i could put it in my f22 to make a g23.

Such major swaps are a great way to reduce reliability.

If you want a 2.3L motor, get an H23. Or if you want to retain the F22A head, put the F22A head onto an F23 or H23 block (not a great idea, but better than trying to transplant a crank)

[keoni96826]

yeah well i guess ill stick with the g22 turbo hopefully i can get some help to make it reliable if not ill just build a f22.

Why are people so stuck on the "g22" crap? The F22, especially with a turbo, can make more power than street tires can easily handle, and be far more reliable than anything slapped together from multiple motors.

its more the mentality of the way things are now. everyone saw an H22 swapped into a civic so everyone puts one in their civic. everyone says G22 and they all jump on the bandwagon.



to the OP, listen to deev. being different cost money. if you dont have the money to do the G22 thing then dont do it. you'll end up taking short cuts and blow the motor and would have wasted a load of money.

If it's your daily driver, and you need it to get around, don't do anything to risk reliability... of course, going turbo kinda throws that out the window. Turbo can be fine, or it can be a major headache.

its can fine for these reasons:

1-its fun
2-and its nice to hear that BOV
3-you learn a lot during the boosting process

it can be a headache for:

1-its addicting. you'll want to start pushing more boost which means more engine stress which means a permanent hole in thew block to see the inner workings of a combustion engine or a motor build.

2- if you dont get the right person to do the tuning, you could end up having a crappy tune which can also blow your motor.

3-getting cheap parts(turbos, intercoolers, etc,) could cost you more in the end.

G23 isn't the way to go my bf had a h22a4 block that's blew up cause they put a f23 crank an rods no knowin that that raised compression an P0W. Bye bye g23. Be wise when u do things like this if u don't wannna spend more money down the road

[bagoon316]

thats your bf fault then, for not knowing that increasing stroke increases compression.

there are plenty of f23 crank/rod combo H's that are running high comp n/a, thats decently torquey as well. i dunno if i would trust the f23 crank/rod combo for boost though. just that stroke would kill it.

[keoni96826]

yeah i know its not going to be reliable and im going to take my time for that build and get it done right. the reason i want to build a g22 is because i always want a h22 but almost everyone had a h22 in a accord so i wanted something different and was told to boost my f. but i still wanted vtec so this will solve all my problems with a g22 turbo. i should have a street bike by that time hopefully but im going to be boosting the f now and have a extra block and maybe a a6 motor on the side so i should be good. thanks for the replys and advise.

it was me that got the h22a4 block wit f23 crank bagoon... i traded it to a guy for a h22a crank. i didnt know it had f series parts in it

[pz3rd]

I read in IMPORT TUNER that combining the f23 block with high compression k20 pistons and an h22 head made 237 whp! i also read it had cams and hondata i think, and also that it was cheaper than buying a k20 motor. I don't know how reliable is it but I say go for it, the g22 and g23 is our version of the ls/vtec or b20/vtec.

just for some info 97 H22a4 has 50mm Mains and some early 98 H22a4's do as well. The rest of the h22a4's have 55mm mains.
