u cand do a H23 head swap, not h22... the h23 head swap creats the G23, a torque monster!! abt 180 lbs of torque at the wheel

I know the h22 is dohc. Is the h23 as well? If so, where do you find the belt for that kind of a swap?

h23 is DOHC non-vtec...the h23 motor itself is good for boost cos of its low compression, but just doing a head swap will produce abt 170 whp and 180 torque at the wheel.....do a search on honda-tech.com..... all info on the frankenstein swap is found on there.. but u need to do some grinding and modifications tho

Both heads will fit but as you read those threads on Honda-Tech you'll see its really a lot of work and not worth it unless you know what your doing.

I think it involves machining some new oil journals or something. Really not worth anything. If you want to do something like that and spend that kind of cash, just buy an H22 and swap it in. :rolleyes:

Upping the compression should yield decent gains.

You don't need to do a head swap for that.

hes right, you could just get a thinner head gasket.

mmmm, but could you imagine the gains with the head swap AND a port and polish on it? thatd be nice........maybe even with a matched intake manny.
