k gotta question for all ya people out there i need help w/. I have a prelude with an h23. its gettin up there in the miles (about 115000) and i wanna make this prelude a fast one. here's the options i've come up w/...

1) keep the h23 and rebuild internals and turbo w/ a t3/t4.
2) swap an h22 in it, build internals and turbo w/ a t3/t4.
3) swap an h22 and go n/a.

i would like to get my lude hittin the high 12's.... while still being a street car. What would be the best option and about how much could i expect to spend for each of those? also... does the vtec in the h22 help out w/ power or still serve purpose with a turbo on it, or could i achieve the same power as a turbo'd h22 w/ a turbo'd h23.

#1!!!

well all of those can be done for high 12s
cheapest/easiest boost what you got.
Thats also what i'd do.

option 1. build the engine up then boost the shit out of it

well i was thinkin the h23 w/ the turbo setup, but do u know the pros/cons to an h23 vs. h22 turbo setup? and how much money would i be roughly lookin at for a h23 build and turbo ... 5-6 grand?

i guess the easiest comparison would be h23 has 160 hp stock and h22a has 200 hp stock. i think i'd like the extra 40hp for roughly the same price. but that's my :2cents:
better yet, you could put your h23 block internals into the h22a and gain the .1L. yes this works. u could also build u'r h23 block, and build an h22a head and put that on top, for the best of both. however u'd have to do a little more work than just swapping the internals into the h22a.

option4

h23.block sleeved, balanced crank, built bottomend

and a h22 head with boost best of both worlds
plus the h23 block is a closed deck design :naughty:

the H22 is a closed deck also
