Default h22 vtec or h23 vtec which is better?

i have been geting parts gettin ready for a h23 vtec build but as i have been diggin around from sight to sight and i heard a lot of different things on this subject, like its a waist of money and time, h22 is better,h23 vtec is the best setup ect. so what i want to know is 1) which one is better 2) which is cheaper
cuz i basicly know what i have to do to convrt the motor, its just i dont want to do and i would have a better motor if i just get a h22 swap.

p.s. did you know honda produced a factory h2.3 vtec motor :wtf:

A straight up H22 swap would last longer. The cost all relies on where you get the parts from.

Yeah, I knew about the engine you speak of.........it was in an Accord.

Go for the H22. H23VTEC = trouble, for no gain. Blah blah blah, some people have built them, and babied them, and they lasted. Most haven't.
