h23 head swap......

[darkslide_77]

i know this should probably be in the swap section, but the other day we were talking about putting th eh23 head on the f23 block.....my question is how difficult is this.....i kinda got an inside track on both pieces, so am looking to find out all i will need to complete this.....

[NoSloCB7]

search the swap section..there are two threads dealing with F22AX hybrid swaps...one of which was started by me..

[darkslide_77]

thanks bro....but i cant seem to get this freakin search to work.....especially when i put in engine codes........i dunno.......

[NoSloCB7]

just go into the swap section and cruise through the pages..my thread for the F22B swap is near the top...WickedDV15's is burried in the swap section somewhere ( we have a little rivalry..he's mad because my thread gets more attention..lol)

[WiKKeDV16]

if u wanna start shit do it right.. goes to show how ACCURATE u are.. its WIKKEDV16.. F00.. NOT WICKED.. jesus!! mine is only barried because few choose to come to the reality that h23a head is just better..(yields higher compression)

[NoSloCB7]

God damn...who pissed in your corn flakes..I was joking......I guess that is the last time I joke around with you...I don't "start shit" as you put it, on the internet...my time is too valuable and I would never waste it with stupid non sense like that

[WiKKeDV16]

holy shit.. I MEANT THAT JOKING MARK!! haha.. did i say it too seriously? lmao MUCH LOVE MARK!! t3h wuve

edit.. btw.. i love corn flakes

[NoSloCB7]

oh....my bad....that's what I hate about the internet...I suck at judging that shit....much love for you to my friend!!!

[darkslide_77]

[NoSloCB7]

Ok.. lemme bust this out so i can close the door on this motha f00..

for starters.. ur gonna need

f23a block(duh)
h23a head(duh)
f23a headgasket.. id suggest u slap it on the head and see if any spots dont clear.. i believe ur gonna have the same problem as putting it on a f22a1.. a part of it is gonna stick out to the side and ur gonna need to fill it with hondabond to get it to seal properly.. this is no big thou although some think that it is cough cough mark.. cough..

h23a headstuds are in order.. nothing will have to be changed timing belt wise.. the F/H23 share the same timing spacing as compared to the H22a.. regardless.. buy yourself a h23a timing belt.. the ONLY thing that u COULD swap out if u wanted to.. is the water pump gear.. i believe there is a 1 tooth difference although i really dont see it being much of a problem.. if ur anal about it.. then rent a pulley puller.. get a bad h23a pump.. pull the gear off.. and put it on a good f23a pump.. and be done with it..

as for the water pipe issue.. that runs along the back of the block.. u can reuse the stock f22a1... thanks to pirate mcfred for already going this hybrid.. we now know this..

but thats basiclly it the rest is pretty much bolt on like any honda.. i do suggest a form of fuel management.. this is needed in most hybrid applications to yield best power results id suggest uberdata.. its cheap.. easy to learn if ur a newbie.. and can hang with the best of EMS..

power output??.. pirate mcfred as mentioned in the last thread put down 165whp and 168wtq.. but this WAS with his 12:1compression.. so if the stock compression is left the same not that i remember what that is right now u could see anywhere from 145-155whp.. out of this thing.. if tuned solid...

any more info hit me back..

I'd do a search on www.honda-tech.com, there is a similar setup but I believe Pirate McFred used a H22 head. Same block though.

[WiKKeDV16]

no.. that was SAM.. who did the f23/h22a.. pirate did the f23/h23a... and prelittelude did the f22b2/h22a...

[HondaFan81]

I knew it was covered....bleh
