iFooLisHPLeaSureZi · #1 09-21-2005, 10:05 PM

i have an h22 engine.. and im buying an h23 prelude .. im guessing best bet is use the h22 vtec head and put it on the h23 base .. that plus t3 turbo it out .. or t4, to4e w.e turbo i find is best ..i need some opinions and common knowledge on whats the best route 2 go .. what turbos are available for these engines .. and what i should do with them .. keep the h22 and m0d that heavily or stick with h23 and do the same .. ive been told to mix them like i said to get the best results .. vtec head h23 base and then turbo to get that .1 more liter and have vtec timing at the same time for the best of both engines .. is this true ??? ive heard since the h23 has more liter space its better to turbo cuz u get more out of it ..is this true???? the h22 has been said to be a more complicated engine to deal with .. turbo .. all that .. any info, knowledge or ideas are appreciated =)

Don't do the h23 block/h22 head. Many people can't get it to run right, and since you already have a h22 engine, keep it. As far as turbos go, you need to search. You should know that anyhwere from 7-10 psi is safe on a stock engine with a good tune.

Don't go turbo.... Your best bet would be to supercharge it... My buddy Turbo his lude and another friend of mine blew him away with the same car same engine mods cept a supercharger... plus with the supercharger you always have power no time for spooling... less strain on an engine.

I'm not saying one is better than the other. Your logic is completely off. Exactly what engine mods did they have that were the "same"? Were they both running the same psi? Were they both dyno tuned? Was this from a dig or a roll? There are too many factors involved to say that one is better than the other.

Plus the potential of the turbo is way way higher than that of a turbo. What kind of a turbo set up did your friend have? I gaurantee a light engine build and a T3/T4 turbo at like 10 psi will blow a JRSC out of the water. There's a reason why so many people do turbo over a supercharger. Not to knock them though, they're great for auto-x and things, but if you're looking for straight speed, the turbo dominates.

If you're not an idiot and let someone build the motor for you that has done it before, then i would do it and turbo it if you really wanna make some power that is respectable.

ive heard more good things about a turbos potential by far

I would just stick with the H22 to make the H23 a Vtec take alot of time and work and it isnt really worth the .10 litres. I had a H23 in my 95 SI til the timing broke snapped and the engine got messed up. If you need some links to turbo kits for ludes let me know I have a few.
