Better Booster = H22A Vtec ..or.. H23 Non-Vtec???

[m0nee]

So which one of these two engines are more capable for handling boosts??

Tell me all the why's and how's!!

BTW- I'm planning on swapping one of the above engines into my 94 Accord EX 2dr, also boosting it. Let me know what's my best choice and why?

Thanks!

The h23a has more displacement for torque lovers. But on the same turbo setup, the h22a is faster.

Thanks, do you know the specs (ex: HP, Torques, Ratio??) for both engines?? Possibly for the OBD1 type on both the H22a and H23a preferrable.

h22a 190hp@6800 158ft-lbs@5500 10.0:1
h23a 160hp@5800 156ft-lbs@4500 9.8:1

If you're swapping, the JDM h22a has 200hp@6800. I don't know about the f22a, but the rest of the 92-96 Preludes are OBD1.
