Damn, how long did you have the F22B DOHC before it crapped the bed? And what ECU were you using? And yes, the H23 is a direct replacement and youll need an H23 oil pump, youll need a p14 ECU and knock sensor if you didnt already have one. I've had both H23 and F22B DOHC. The H23 has more torque, but the F22B DOHC has WAY better top end so it kinda balances out.
