it is cheaper to get an h22
if u turbo your stock block h23a1 you will end up getting an h22a down the road...i say this cause i heard some1 did that recently and the h22a is in the high 14's with the swap alone.
personally id love to turbo my h22a but with the rent and all that aint gonna happen this summer.
i think overall for the $2000 youd be happier with the h22a, and always have tons more potential should you go FI, or even juice.

If you have the motor built correctly and are mature about it (not revving the shyt out of the motor) it will serve you well. Otherwise, you can expect a blown motor and A LOT of wasted $$ in the near future.

mine is balanced and i take her to 7800 to this day after many miles. just over 30k on this build. however im not an a.s.s. i dont rev her all day every day. im not sure if im all that mature as nosho says one should be, but i think im close
