what do you guys think about an H23 in an eg hatch???

Vern

i have an h23 in my del sol and its pretty good, like a b16 with more torque

DeFunk

I think its been done quite a few times. Whats your question?

Vern

im sure it has, its just the same as a h22 just a LIL cheaper

DeFunk

It was light sarcasm, I've done a few H series swaps.

H-series is a good way to go. that swap is pretty easy. if you can go with the h22 head with the 23 bottom end

willie

well from what i can tell the trannys are the same and ive also heard they eat out spindles on stock axels im wondering if its more money than its worth

I had a eg 4 door with a h22 in it and was great. I never had any problems with it or the axles

wire actuated trans suck ass. better off just doing a b-series swap. or you could go and get a H2B or H2D swap kit...

The H23 gears are a bit longer.

But you will then have issues with oil starvation in the block. Therefore drilling would be required. The H23/22 hybrid isn't as reliable as just doing an H22A swap. Not worth it IMO. You also have to swap tensioners.

But just an H23A Del Sol should be pretty quick. Good amount of torque for the weight. And they are cheap too so I say do it!
