H23 vs. F22 vs. SHUT UP!!!

[headbussaboi]

How much faster is an H23 compared to a F22a1? Is it really worth the swap if I just want a bit more power and quicker pick-up?, or should I just do a a6 manifold swap with new headgasket and timing belt and be happy with it?

[ICANFLyy]

alot....big diff

why not put the h23a head on the f22a? ... shameless plug hahahah you'll retain your iron sleeves.. u wont have to pull the motor (makes it easier on newbies) and u have the tuneability & better capabilites of a twin cam head (it flows more than a f22a head).. not to mention the intake manifold/throttle body are bigger than f22a componets.. oh and if ur into that whole stock look ur stock exhaust manifold will bolt up to the head..

I ask this question because I want to buy the H23 from Wagalude. Besides, wouldn't swapping the H23 head on the F22 block require modification?

well if u had the intention of buying it from waga.. then by all means be my guest.. good guy.. but.. if ur asking this question.. then that also allows me to believe ur not to keen on car mechanics and shit only these lines because if u were ud know the difference off the bat between these two motors..

85mm vs 87mm
sohc vs dohc
etc

haha...go easy on him...haha...i'd say go for it, but if u want to boost i'd say ask wikked about franks, or buy an f22b...h23 is kinda that middle ground...not h22a (great na motor) and not f22b (great turbo motor). h23 is a great upgrade to the f22a but for the same price u could get a newer f22b that has less miles. just my 2 cents

[H23Accord]

Yes...all are noticeable differences and worth the swap. You need to decide on what your futur goals are. If you are just looking for another engine then swap the h23 for the low end tq. I loved it before I decided to head swap.

your block wont crack it will be your rings that will go bad before anything else..

[theone]

^ yeah, what he said...lol.
im about to block post my extra block and i got a set of custom pistons on the way with rings, etc.

but as for the choice i say.... if u are a tuner like must of us, and do modifications for yourself and the respect of others, go with the head swap....to get mad props, but if your not to concern about all that and just wanna swap and call it a day, get the whole h23 motor

[shadetreecustom]

head swap head swap head swap .........trying to brain wash .....lol the swap is worth it i wouldnt take nothing for my F22/H22

[JohnnyB]

What modification is needed to do the headswap?

[flacopower]

isn't the jdm f22b and the usdm h23 basically the same thing?? don't flame if i am wrong!
