h23 header on f22a??

[danacixem]

would the h23 header fit on a my f22a1, the reason i ask is becuase i want a header but eventually plan on swappin in a jdm f22b, by eventually i mean in a more than a yr, cuz im workin on another project too.

[urbanrunner]

Yeah i was wondering the same thing. I found someone selling an h23 head and he told me it would be a direct bolt on. But honeslty i can't see how. PLease someone let us know if this is easy as one two three

Didn't we already have a few replies to this post? Is the forum acting screwy again or am I experiancing some deejavu

I haven't really heard of anyone doing that, so Im not really sure.. But I mean it should work...

someone should really try this...if it worked it would make my turbo project so much easier...iv seen a lot more manifolds for the H23 than i have the F22a....

Someone has done it. That guy off HS I think he goes by "93Accord" you know the red one with the body kits that's going to be spraying a 200 shot. He has an H23A header.

We've already covered that it works it's just that for a stock F22A you will hurt the power band.

Yeah, the use the same manifold gaskets (intake and exhaust). 17105-pt2-014 and 18115-pt0-004, respectively.

alright rock on....so if i wanted to use an H23 turbo manifold, i wouldnt loose power right?

I don't think you would but remember the H23A has a different front engine mount and cross member so the Turbo manifold is most liely desgned with that in mind. Meaning it will probably hit the Accords mount.

[Accord R33]

i remember you saying you could take out the motor mount as long as you reinforce the others. is this true?

[BustedLX]

Yeah that can be done. There are allot of people that have done it with success. You'll have to search but I remember that the best way was to buy the Urathane resin that you could pour into the mounts. Let it sit for like a day and it would harden making the mount really good. The Window Weld reinforcement is a joke for the long term.

so this means the h23 header is interchangeable with a F22?? I want to buy a header now for my current f22 but i plan on swapping in a h23 engine later on. will i be able to use the header with my new engine? should i go ahead and get the header? any disadvantages? thanks!

[danacixem]

i was thinkin about puttin the h23 header on cuzl i eventually plan on doin a build up, but little by little, ima start off with a cam regrind, maybe from delta. then, i wanna get some head work done and maybe a new valve train. afterwards i wanna gets some 11:1 pistons from raceeng.com. if i do get those pistons would i also need to get rods and sleeves. so would the h23 header do me good then. i mean, i dont plan on boosting, or nitrous. i jus wanna go all motor. i also dont really plan on like 14's, not that i wouldn't mind it. i would like mid 15's. would that be enough to get me there or better??? but. yeah, i jus need some advice.

and sorry for not startin another thread but i kinda though it fit in

thanx,

the SFP h23a1 manifold clears the prelude front mount... you can use the prelude crossmember and front mount so you retain your front mount and dont have to worry about reinforcing the others.. the crossmember/mount swap is direct.

[phatdoughnut]

sorry to bring this back from the dead, BUT if you want to hit mid 15s? why throw all that money down the drain, i already hit 15.9 with my JDM F22BDOHC, and all i have is I/H

in fact, i keept the f22a1 manifold on the F22b cause i didnt want to weld the prelude one on, so im just gona wait and get a header for the f22a1 to use........that way i dont have to do any welding....
