Cant find this exact build anywhere... i wanted to do the h22 head swap but cant afford the 500$ price tag... so i was wondering if i bought the dohc non vtec h23 (80$) and built it then had the block built, bored to 87mm or whatever the k20 type s pistons are, forged rods bearings (new crank?) Ect... i could get a a bit over 200-220?bhp? And it would be ready for boost later... so questions.
1. FML... ECU???? What do i need???
2. Is the h23 non vtec any good period?
3. To fit the h series heads on the f blocks i read you have to block of oil return ports in the head, true? Which ones?
More questions sure to follow...
THANKS

Your "Whispering Eye"
If you can't afford $500 for work on a car, then I suggest you start saving your pennies more...because to do most anything worthwhile on these cars costs more than that.


However, keep doing research...maybe you'll find the answer to your question on here or you'll find a deal somewhere.

Doesn't make sense like apples and oranges, or apples and.. pears? Quit living up to your name and do some more detailed research. It's out there. I'll say for one thing, if you're going this route, you want to get a standalone ECU if you have the money and want tuning ease.

Why are you going with a non vtec head? that seems like a downgrade... I'd say either do a basic turbo setup or keep saving up until you find an h22 head. be patient and you find a decent one for a good price
