you don't need different motor mounts

 

:eek4:

 

did you not read the rest of the replys,... i said i had a friend who tried this, there for i would know, and the pistons will tap the head. and no, lmao, you dont need different motor mounts. wow. the blocks are completely different interal wise, and so are the heads. someone has no clue what there talking about...

 

yeah, pistons tapping heads is all bad. i thought i remembered reading somewhere that this hybrid was possible, but apparently not. it must have been the F block with an H head, that's possible. anyway, yeah, sounds like for the money and trouble, you might as well just buy an h22. or build/boost the h23 and not owrry about it.

 

perhaps build boost the h23 is my preference, after taking a look at the dyno of my car, which were pretty encouraging....however, im not sure if this has been covered before.. but i have a problem.
to build a fast honda, or to save and buy a better platform to build off of?
now, i like my prelude, its fun to drive, but something inside me is telling me to hold off and buy something nicer in the future that will come along before dumping a ton of money into it. After all, this is a clean prelude, and they are getting rarer and rarer. NO rust, 70k, nice black paint, clean int, maybe i should stick to bolt ons?? i sort of like cars that can be "tossed" around a bit more, like a mini cooper or an old 3 series(e30, etc) (or new??) or a gti or a crx, and im not sure how their characteristics compare to that of a prelude. I also have a thing for porsche, so im not sure if building up ahonda is my thing.... i wouldnt get the money back, and perhaps like i said, keeping it clean and rather stock could help its resale! Not sure if you guys have ever ran into this, and i bet i could answer my question... i think some people might say--depends, what are you going for? and im not really sure--it depends if i can get myself to the track in the future enough to warrant having a track car, but o well, if anyone has questioned dumping cash into their car, id like to hear about it......

 

my buddy is about to drop 2 grand into coilovers/etc, for his 94 si. he bought the car for about $4300. i keep telling him that he should sell his car ($4000) and take the other $2000 and put that combined $6000 towards a prelude sh which can be found for $6500 in the bay area. you will never get your money back out of it if you upgrade it. if you're looking for a trackday toy, buy a used miata for $3000.

 

i have the same thing, and it works good, you have to built the bottom half get your block sleeved slap some low compresion pistons, rods just keep the crankshaft, built the head as well but you need the vtec timing belt coz the h22 cam gears has more teeth than h23 you need to have the h22 ecu to get your vtec working i you need to have a h22 tensioners and water pump i got mine done and i put down some 490whp 18 psi of boost 1500cc injectors pump gas... hope that will help you

 

B20hatchy PM me if you're looking to build an H23 with a vtec head. Its really not that hard. I've done it plenty of times.

 

you can do it man!! Im trying to do that set up right now. Do you want to sell that block? is the block H23a1 or H23 JDM? I'll buy it from you.
