f22b vs f23a??

[honda4cb7]

ive been reading on here about engines fromn other people and it doesnt seem like theres really a difference between a f22b and a f23a there both not meant for performance right? im new to this whole thing so whats the differnce between the two?

[HardInThePaint]

I'm not to hip on the differences myself but you can read up on the F series engines on Wikipedia.

The differences between the the two engines is minimal, minus the obvious displacement differences. The VTEC mechanism is only on the intake side IIRC whereas in performance motors it is on intake and exhaust. It is also meant for better mpgs rather than more power. If you're on a budget, they aren't a bad way to go as far as building them up. Personally I would take the F23A as it is the torquier of the motors and torque is everything. But you can do just as good with either.

The F23 heads flow better than the F22b's IIRC the exhaust ports are the same, but on the intake side of things the F23 has larger ports.

so f23a is better? my motor is shot because the dick that owned the car last before i got it overheated the engine...i had my friend who is a mechanic put it on a block test and it failed haha so thats why im asking
my budget is around 2500-3000 so give me a direction on where to go please

[Joey GT-R]

I'm not saying the F23A is better, just if it were me that's what I would choose since it has more torque out the box. Keeping in mind it was designed to pull a heavier car in the CG chassis. But your preference is purely your own. And why not try to source an F22A6? I understand yours was abused but the motors are great if you take care of them.


If you've got 2500-3000 why not go H22? Easily attainable. Or if you just like to stick with the F motors go JDM F22B that has the DOHC head. Or are you trying to build a motor and drop it in all at once?

agreed on the h22, if u dont want the performance, its not there(keeping lower rpm's) and if u want it, its there(v-tec) and u can always build it down the road if u want more performance

F22B has two cams. F23A has .1L greater displacement

[sulimed]

you can probably find a f23 for cheaper than a f22b. imo if you don't have a p39 to run the f22b it's really not worth it.

You should deff check hmotorsonline.com if you are looking for performance. And with that kinda money to play with? As others have said above get you an H22, F22B (DOHC), H23A (NON-VTEC), F20B ect. or even another F22A. There is alot of information here on the site that may help you decide, not to mention the experiences that some of us have with their setup. You have lots of options deff research before you buy for sure. I hope this helps, I will post you some links later to help you with your choice.

f23 or f22b

what engine is better in the performance area?

Your posts should be deleted. I just got done responding to another one of yours that you asked a question in and haven't cared to come back in and see the answer to.

The answers to the questions you're asking have been asked MANY times already. You're just either too lazy to search for concepts you come up with on a whim or you're post-whoring. Please use the search function. Contrary to popular opinion it's not just up there to look pretty. You're actually supposed to use it.


EDIT* The other thread I was considering referencing you to was actually started...by YOU! You've shown a complete disregard for the rules with your recent posts.

what engine is better in the performance area?

well they are totally different engines as well, further proving you aren't putting any effort into doing any work on your own. as soon as you do even a little research, and show your not looking to be spoon feed, come back and people will be glad to discuss it with you. until then, enjoy no one responding your posts.

look bitch im new on this site so im sorry i didnt figure that out ok i just thought that if i ask then i would get some answers from the people that are online now....
