Question H23 block with a H22 head
i recenlty got a Si prelude. it's got the H23 motor in it but i want my VTEC back.. i figure i could have the head machined on but i don't know how much of a pain it would be.. or if it would be better to just do a whole swap?

it has a stronger bottom end, with a good flowing head. good combo

no the bottom end equals to low compression with vtec but you get more torque and that block isnt good for turbo the sleeves are made of a different material that isnt iron so i cant take boost.but it is a closed deck design and if you plan to boost or put new pistons in there then you have to resleeve the block pm for more info if any is needed

i dissagree with everyone.....

go with the JDM h22a swap....its gotta closed deck unlike the USDM h22a1 It will be alot more reliable and easier. you have to do a few things to get the oil delivery correct in the h23a block.
