So you're going to put forth a ton of effort into swappin in a setup that won't touch the boosted build (had you tuned it correctly instead to taking mindless shortcuts) power wise?

good luck with that....

 

An H23?

 

+1 why?????

 

The swap will be fun. I'll have 2 h23s layin around so I have spare parts plus selling the turbo kit will buy the mounts axles and a much needed lsd. I'll have less power but I like all motor better.

 

sell the H23's and get soemthing decent...

 

I would have to agree. I have been doing allot of research for adding turbos. And it seems that with all the extra parts and hassle it would be more benificial to just swap a 200HP stock motor. Like a H22a. You would spend just about as much money and you would be less likely to damage internal motor parts. Dont get me wrong, putting a turbo on and doing everything right would be sick, but to do everything right it would cost way to much and I would have more power than I wanted. 200HP in a civic is pretty good. But that is just me. Everyone has there own taste.

 

simply not true...

 

O.K. How so? I would like to learn as much as I can so please let me know. Thanks.

 

H23 is one of the worst motors you could throw in. Long stroke, short rods,FRM sleeves, and probably a poor flowing head with mild cams.

All motor won't do any better on shortcut engine management btw.

 

Yes the h23 has a bad cam but the head flows good and 156 torque will do fine in a hatch.

Kedawei- why would i use a turbo engine management on a n/a? Plus I have an h23 prelude so i know the motors potential.
