I've been looking for a turbo kit for my 92 prelude h23, and i haven't seen many.I have seen alot more for an h22. I was woundering if you can make an h22 kit work on a h23.( why are there so many more kits for an h22)

the h22 was a more popular one and there are i think three different h22 motors. there's the h22 the h22a1 and the h22a4. there are some kits our there for the h23, and u will stuill get the same amount of gains, but the final whp will be lower than that of the h22 b/c of the VTEC. if u are really concerned put the h22 head on ur h23 motor to give u the VTEC. i think this might make it easier to find kits. for finding the best one for ur car and wat u want to do search at individual sites like turbonetics and garret maybe even greddy. if that doesnt work google it. best of luck

i've heard about ptting a h22 head on the h23 block,but i was woundering what is so different that a h22 kit can't work on an h23.what is it that won't fit or wont work.

the difference is that the h23 is .1L larger than the h22. i think that is the big difference.

well for one a h22 exhaust manifold cant be bolted to a h23 i believe..im sure the tuning wouldnt quite be the same either...with the vtec and all

everything will fit except for the turbo manifold. the bolt pattern and port spacing is different.

you can get a manifold on the cheap from here:
