Re: H23 vtec horsepower?

Ah yes, I misread that. It would be VTEC; however the stroke on the H23A is quite long, and unless you retarded the ignition timing you'd end up with problems with compression.

Try it out and see how it goes... I'm still skeptical on it working well.

one of the guys in my auto class is planning on swapping an H22 into his Preluse Si. i told him about the frankie and the crank, rod, piston swapping. i guess we'll see which he decides to try. i'm kinda rootin for the method i've suggested, but obviously it'll be up to him. if he does do it, i'll get back on how it turned out. hopefully he'll let me help so i'll be able to see if everything gets dun right instead of him skipping things that'll kill it regard less.

It realy isnt that hard to rip apart a engine and put new parts in, you just need to torque the bolts right and put everything in the right order.

the GM ecotech 2.2 engine is much faster than h22a and cheaper.. check ebay ..you can get a good one for about $1500 ..put that on your cavalier direct swap..

some cars with stock ecotech 2.2 engine can do about 14 seconds on 1/4 miles run..

Re: H23 vtec horsepower?

Once again, OLD thread. And we all know of idiots running huge shots of spray on a stock engine.

Edit: After looking at the site it says he spent 35K on that car just to run a 11.9. Whooo

Re: Re: H23 vtec horsepower?

Running huge shots on a stock engine is NOT fine. Stock rods and other internals arent capable of taking that much abuse.

Re: Re: Re: Re: H23 vtec horsepower?

trush me ive done it. you can run hude shots on a stock engines..

and yeah of course theyll fall apart....and so as the heavy duty
bullet proof racing engines.

the extreme abuse from drag racing causes any stock or heavy duty bullet proof racing engines to fall apart.

You basically agreed to what I said about high amounts of spray on stock engines, yet your still arguring. Great.
Running that much juice on a stock engine is just begging for a rebuild.
Would a mod lock this? Oh wait, none of them get here often enough.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: H23 vtec horsepower?

Read my post again. I said you can run hude shots on stock engine. Just make sure you dont go lean. Got it?

Lean A/F ratio causes extreme high combustion chamber temp. Therefore, it fucks up the rods and pistons..Got it?

running with correct A/F ratio all the way is the trick. You need to know how to do it and your stock engine wont be begging for a rebuild.

If you still dont get it then maybe you should quit arguing with me cus you dont know nothing about NOS.

I know enough about nitrous as to not call it "NOS"

Proper a/f ratios or not, running that much spray on a stock engine IS NEVER going to last.

This better get locked soon, this is going no where.
