so, i have come to realize the the mileage on my lude is getting a bit high, so i think i might just be time for an engine swap. jdm h22- way too much money, though i want it, so i was cruising on ebay and found a jdm h23a vtec from the honda accord sir. the link to see the engine is below. anyways, ive read up on this engine and stock, i heard it has higher hp and torque than an h22a. what i wanna know is, what am i putting myself into if im getting this engine? can i use the same parts as an h22? such as bolt ons or anything i might need? or if i do get this engine will it pull/rev as hard as my h22a? can anyone give me advice on what i should do? i wanna be diff, i think this bluetop would look sexy in my car. let me know what anyone thinks

Look good, except for that weird looking paint blot on the valve cover. I think you shouold do alittle more research before bidding/buying. I stand corrected, but I heard something about if something goes wrong you might have a hard time finding parts as some parts are the same as the H22, but some you might have to do some searching for.

I have to ask, how much milage is one your car/engine? These cars last for quite a long time.
