i heard the h23 head/f23A is a really good build. you'll get more torque than the h22 anyways.

there are headaches involed with doing a h series 6th gen swap... all i know is it's hard.

a h22 head swap might be good, but overall it's hell to deal with.

turbos are a very reliable way to boost power output of an engine, generally speaking if you buy a good kit you will get good results.

maybe the f20b is an easier swap than the h22, but i wouldnt bet my life on it.. plus the -.2 liters of displacement means you'll be left with less torque, although the engines high output might make up for that.

The Accord is a big car, alot bigger chassis then the Prelude from which you will get this engine. THe h22/23 also wieghts more then the f22/23. As such you will swap the engine, gain some power, and still never be all the fast compared to the same engine stuck in the Lude. But the motor will sound good...

Seriously, given the price of a swap, about $3000, you would make out better selling the Accord and putting it plus some money on a clean used Prelude 98+. I'd trust a 100k mi Lude over a 50k hybrid accord as a daily beater.

just grab an h23 head/exhaust mani/and intake mani... swap it over using a stock f23 head gasket, then use an h22 timing belt and guess what, you have replaced t-belt, gained hp and a dohc engine with a better base for mods and overall power band... and you never had to take out your engine

I must have this engine in my current car

Its part of a project, and value is not the concern.

I want the best NA power i can get out of the 6th gen accord

I'm just weird like that.

I need some good references for JDM engines

Any help??

i dont understand, you want a swap no matter what? even if you can gain the same thing by a head swap?
