most people do the h22 from a prelude. idk all the parts needed and such. but the f23, which is your i4 motor, is better for boost then the h series engines, just incase you were thinking of that.

or you can pm iml2001ser, dreman or titaniumacc, they all have completed or in the process of an h22 swap/auto to manual swap

oh yeah an nsx engine with rwd conversion is popular too. :rolleyes:
h22 is youre your only realstic option.

Your f23 is rated at 150 hp and 152 ft/lbs.

If youre going for flat out power. Go turbo, Ive seen turboed f23 hit anywhere between 200 whp and 240 whp. While a stock h22 is around 160-170 whp. But just remember power isnt everything....

H22a4/a7, F20B, H23 VTEC - pick your poison. Technically neither the H22 nor the F23 are ideally designed for boost, not past atleast 6-8psi on the H22 and maybe a tad higher on the F23. Its the rings, not the sleeves.

The sleeves on the H22 don't hold up to forged pistons. F23's however, are ductile steel, do your worst. Just don't overbore too much.

You want enough power to beat those two cars? Hope you got deep pockets. If not, find another platform.
