Proof on what happens when you turbo a h23

[deevergote]

.1L does not equal massive torque. With turbo, an H22 could make similar power. It's impressive, but I'm not convinced that the H23 is any better with turbo than the H22 or F22A

Answer to some of your questions.....

FRM sleeves are very strong and durable.

Pistons/ringlands will go before anything else does.

Good job on the power. Who built/tuned it for you?

For all you boys at are in Texas, I got my engine built in tuned from T1 Racing by Tony Palo.

thats crazy power for a non-vtec h series. whats ur mod list like?

Man thanks for props!! It's been a long process but I just wanted to show everyone why I love the h23. I used Crower Rods and JE pistons. I got my engine sleeved at Golden Eagle. I am using the S300 to controll everything. My homeboy has a h22 and he got his sleeved by Golden Eagle but his car does have that torque numbers that I have. I am planning to take it to the Commerce this summer and see what it does. Trust I will keep you guys posted. I plan to post a complete mod list later with some more pictures.....Based on this situation, where both engine are sleeved by Golden Eagle he had like 509 with I like 300 torque I still feel that FRM does play a factor at all but I could be wrong

Big Question.....But I still wanted to know based on how easy it is to get the h23a and now you see what it can do....Which one would be good to get for someone who is starting out and want to turbo a motor with a tight budget...

yea dood...post up your engine bay in the turbo setups thread or somethin' share the world your sexiness hahaaha. But dayum! 504 hp/and 437 tq? holy shizzle ..that's very close to Lodolla's...o man...i gotta see these 2 go at it on the drag strip on video!

If I went turbo, I'd do it to an F22A. The money saved by not swapping for a different motor can go into some worthwhile mods (internals, better turbo, tuning, or the majority of the cost of a resleeve...)

The problem with turbo'd H22 is that the sleeves arnt very strong, and the difference between the H23 and H22 is the head and .1L . So your still stuck with the weak sleeves.

sleeves on a h22 can handle 600+ since its a closed deck. on a h23 they handle the same as a f22

Only the 92-96 H22s were closed deck.

I wouldn't push stock sleeves that far. FRM is very strong, but it's not made for that sort of abuse. It MIGHT hold 600+. straightedge is making 400+ on a stock-block F22... However, I wouldn't consider either to be a "this is what it can do" example.


The rule of thumb that I go by is that Honda sleeves should be replaced when you double the power of the stock engine. That's leaving a good deal of room to be safe, but I'd rather spend the money once to do it right.

Meh, not impressive then.

The OP did none of the work. Boring.

H23 stock sleeves have been known to hold 500whp.

[chessboxer]

If being on a budget is a concern, just turbo the f22. There are plenty of examples of it making good power, and straightedge was close to 300 hp and with my big 16g I hope to do the same. Good numbers you put down regardless, but if budget is a concern, stick with the f22.

[deevergote]

Didn't straightedge top 400 on race gas with the stock bottom end?

Since thats not the point of his thread and post# 6589 is completely irrelevant , I'd say the numbers coming out that motor are impressive. Regardless of who built it.

That depends.

How many pounds did you have to push to get that much power?
