ok so i was thinking should i build up a h23 block with higher compression pistons and get a h22 head and maybe do some head work to that because i thought maybe it would be cheaper or should i just save some money and just get the h22? the reson why i even think of the hybrid is that i could get it done peace by peace cheaper do you think this is true?

oh, quit being a bitch. i doubt people are intentionally ignoring your shit.
but yeah, you can do it but something i've yet to see is one of these hybrids lasting more than a few thousand miles WHEN DRIVEN HARD. i drive the shit out of my cars and a lot of hybrid guys have luck when driving something stuff normally. not racing the hell out of it, just normal daily driving.
in the past year, maybe there have been advancements in the h23/h22 combo but i doubt it. you'll have guys tell you it's great but i promise you, if you drive it hard it will die on you before a year is up. there was a guy who went all out on a frankenstein and it didn't make it 10,000 miles. he drove it hard, at the track, etc.
it died.
if you drive it like an h23 then it will probably be fine, but then you're not getting the full benefit of the head which is meant to breathe at high rpm. drive it like an h22a, it will die quickly.
a modded h23 would serve you just as well. maybe not as great gas mileage if you cam it to make power, but you won't be working on it all the time either.....and on the 7th day, deevergote rested and called his mom.

I agree with you, get some aftermarket 11:1 pistons, clean up the factory rods and go with it.
