has anyone done an h23 swap, theyre the motor that came out of the 92-95( i think ) preludes? i know its basically a 2.3 non vtec dual cam

anyone done it? is it good? possible? what do u thin?

 

its been done, but i dont think on a CL....i'd say just stick with h22, but if you wanna be different go ahead

 

yeah i think ur right, i was just lookin at the specs, and it only puts out 160 horses, and thats only 10 more than me. anyways, but i just thought it would be a cool idea, i mean u could get one for cheaper than an h22 i bet, and it would be perfect for non vtec turbo

 

thats what most people do, just turbo the shit out of them

 

yea if you go with h23 theres no real point unless you boost

 

or you could do the frankenstein.. 187whp. bout 220 to the crank.. its basically a h22 stroker motor. kind of expensive but if you do it right itll be bullet proof. i did one for my homies h23 prelude that blew the timing belt. it was alot easier than it looked on paper. and that mofo screamed. i never got a chance to race him with my 3.0 i/h/e cl but im sure he'd kick my ass.

 

and if you do boost then its the perfect motor. what you really need is a carbon fiber hood.

 

 

you crazy shaved CL

 

Wow you agranado and blackack are so cute they are little twins. awww or better yet you guys are boyfriends hahaha


haha totally just kidding

 

I'm changing mine as soon as i get home

 

:gheyhug:

 

 

 

totally huh? takes a :ghey: to know a :ghey:

 

forget you guys, im doing a k24 swap

 

i dont think the hasport mounts are out yet to the public. but thats what i would love to do someday, but right now for the summer im focused on swapping a H22A head onto my F22B1 block before i sell my car.

 

Wilp, whats the rev limit on your boys frankenstein setup?

 

are you talking about a G23?? H23 head/F23 block.

 

whats the point if your gonna sell it?

 

same as h22 8700 but being a stroker i wouldnt bring it past 7200 for too long.. unless you do the oil injection. theres people who do 8k all the time and never have a problem, but some go 7500 and poof.. as long as you keep good oil in it and the proper fuel mix and temp,, shell run forever,..

the h23 has a limit of 6800 cause of the stroke. but it can go higher..

 

naw man, you can do that.. but its the same ammount of work to do a h22 head on a f23 block..

(fyi) the h23 and f23 have the same block and guts, down to the pistons and pushrods, and crank.

the g23 vtec is the h22 head on f23 block. same shit but you have to use all h22 timing parts. including the water pump. the f23 ecu should work temporarily but it needs the p13 to run right..

 

They arent out yet. i was looking into it but i gave up on the CL

 

:shakehead

 

The H22head/F23block sounds interesting but how much would a shop charge to do the necessary work?

 

probably charge you up the ass

grab some buddies and make a weekend of it

 

i should have explained myself better, if i do this obviously i wont immeadiatly sell it, if i choose to do this ill end up keeping it for a few more years. i should have said that its on my list to do before i sell my car.
