Well.. Since I just had my last final today, I am pretty much turning this thread in to my official build thread for this upcoming week.

I decided not to do the g23 set up because:

1. Not enough people around here know about it to convince me enough to just do it.
2. I don't like relying on someone else to help me finish what I'm doing, I just do all the work myself lol.

Here's some pics of What I've gotten so far, I'll show you guys some more pictures and updates throughout the week.

Re: G23 Question..

The DOHC head will breathe a lot better and will probably give you more HP/PSI of boost. If you build the engine right, it should be able to hold 15psi. Have you looked into new bottom end bearings?

Re: G23 Question..

If you're getting low compression pistons then it should handle it no problem. Other than that I'm not really sure what you're asking.

Re: G23 Question..

Well I guess my question is that if the G23 will take as much abuse as the F23 can since it is pretty much a "made-up" motor.

I know the LS/B20-Vtec can.. but I've seen millions of LS-Vtec setups in person and ZERO g23's.






And yeah, I'm getting new bearings n stuff, I'm rebuilding both the head and the block.

Are you going to be using after market parts or oem?

Re: G23 Question..

I'd tell you to ask Roy about his swap but it doesn't seem like he'd have any answers for you.

Re: G23 Question..

In regards to the block, yes, it will handle 15psi. You will have an issue with the bottom end if you up your rpm's too far. I wouldn't take an f23 bottom past 7k. You may want to also consider stronger rods. The amount of torque you will be pushing on 15psi will be better handled over the long term by something stronger. And since you will already be in there....

Re: G23 Question..
