Re: Another H23 IM Build Thread

badger has done this on his car as well, so we followed the setup similar to his. biggest challenge was accounting for all the little random things that didn't want to cooperate (stuck bolts, etc). From my understanding, the longer runners of the F23 intake manifold make it better for boost than an H23

Re: Another H23 IM Build Thread

did u follow the DIY afaaccord left
wat was the biggest challenge?
would this be a better plenum for boost?

let me put it like this, i would rather try to swap an auto to manual in a 24hr timeframe, then swap a h23 im onto a DD car. that is why AFAccordand myself never wrote DIY. it is not an easy project.

f23 im is better for boost, h23 im is better for n/a

Still no pixors or kill videos? I assume you had to convert the car to OBDI as well?

nope, it was running as an OBD2, although we swapped the f23 EGR back on, and still needed to wire the OBD1 IACV. still some issues i'm working out before calling it complete
