over the next couple months im gonna start gathering parts for the h22 head swap. and im wondering since im pretty much buying all the parts seperate what should i get

1. which h22 head is the best?

2. should i just move on, skip oem and get upgraded headers and intake manifold?

3. what ecu should i get? ive heard good things about the p72?

its not that easy of a swap.. i didnt do it because unless u can do it yourself, u cant get a shop to help u..

spencer_homer

i wouldnt bother upgrading the intake manifold, unless your building the motor internally. but like everyone said honda-tech has a bunch of write ups.

i still have my F23 longblock waiting to someday do this swap.

i also have the head and tranny as well.

good luck, i hope you go through with this.

spencer_homer

yea i might end up buying a block and building it, then just have the whole motor done and swap it

thats exactley what i was trying to do.

ya only upgrade the intake manifold and shit if your gonna build the whole thing..

are you just gonna slap the head on and thats it? or are you turboing it or goin all-motor?

spencer_homer

im goin all motor. my dad wants to have the block done so its just a beast

high compression > *

spencer_homer

yea. thanks for all the info. im not too familiar with internals of motors. did u check out the link of the head for sale? hella good deal for all that stuff. i did some research on bull frog ecu and intake manifold, straight racing stuff.

Sound like a good deal to me. You just need all the other little parts.

i would rather have a turbo G22/3 than all motor one. makes more sense to turbo a dual cam with a stronger block and lower compression.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

it would be to see a g22/3 Turbo CL

iTrader: (6)

yes it would

732xghost

well hopefully someones gonna step up.

the boldest move i took so far with my potential G23 build was buying my complete F23 swap. but when more money comes hopefully more progress comes.

i actually have everything needed for the swap, i even made the plugs needed myself to plug the 2 oil drain crevists...damn shame shit always ends up happening

Silver, u need to get awn it

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

oh i was on it, then it came to a crashing hault and haven't touched any of it since last may

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

just keep it. you might regret it if you sell it. you might get lucky and the money will come.

thank christ i didnt sell my CF hood, i would have never forgaven myself.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

we wouldn't have forGIVEN you either

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

lol like i always say, school isnt my thing. haha

agranado

I would have forgaven you.



jay kay. you would have sucked

spencer_homer

how hard is it to make those plugs?

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

well it depends if you know someone that works at a machine shop..

my buddy had a manufacturing class and the teacher let me go in to work on it with my buddy and use the lathe (think thats how u spell it)

if you know how to work the machine then its easy, if not, ur better off askin a machine shop to do it for you..shouldn't be too much

Palayah8ta

PM piratemcfred on hondatech hes the guy who made it happen..

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

like what?

pretty straight forward if you ask me..

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

i finally found a kid in jersey that has built over 3 G23 swapped civics, so if i can find a H22 head for $300 or less. then im not looking back.

so yea im not selling my F23 anymore now. im motivated again!!

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

make us proud

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Get awn it

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

is it gonna be a g23-T or just the g23

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

im lucky if i can make it G23.

maybe one day, when im a cop. turbo is a dream aslong as im still a lot attendatant at a honda dealership

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

i just got a call from my buddy & i could be a new member of the honda parts dept.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I'll be sending you a wishlist of parts

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

..love that pic

and i'd be hookin up everyone

spencer_homer

yea ive been thinkin about it a lot. i think im gonna go low compression so eventually.......g23t

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

you dont need to go low compression, the compression is already low enough..like 8.3
