I just bought a 95 Si with h23 non Vtech...Can anybody inform me the easiest and cheapest way to Vtech my car without complete engine swap? Ive heard you can put the h22 Vtech head on the h23...Is this true or a good idea???
First off, it's VTEC. Not VTECH, V-TECH, VTAK. Sorry. It's a peeve. You can put the H22 head on the H23. I don't know the entire process of doing this, however. You'll have a higher compression ratio than stock, if I remember correctly.
For all the little smarty pants remarks...I posted vtec on my blackberry which has predictive text and i was to lazy to correct it!!!! so there ya go!!!! But any helpful ideas???? Should i just keep the H23 and boost it or should i Vtec it??? And does anybody know how much the H22 head would change my compression ratio????
It's funny whenever someone new says "vtech", the whole damn thread goes down the drain. I don't get it? Don't these guys see "VTEC" when they pop their hoods? It's right there on the valve cover.
from everything ive understood you can run boost on stock h23 motor with 8psi and not damage it because of the low compression! and thats not all i wanna do of course!
If you're too lazy to correct text, how do you plan on finding the motivation to take on such a serious piece of work?
You should try the search button, unless you aren't motivated.
and its not that im that lazy its just i have a blackberry storm and i hate it sooo yeaa...i have nothing to do with my time except work on my car till i leave for boot camp! i dont know very much about hondas but i really wanna learn!!! i really hate having to ask people for help cuz it makes me feel dumb but thats the only way u can learn...its not something u just automatically "KNOW"!!! so uh...please no more smart remarks!! No need for it really!!! Anyways i just bought my lude 4 days ago and i love it!!! i wanna learn every possible thing i can do to make it better!!! So your input would be greatly appreciated!!! i already ordered megan header...apexi n1 cat back exaust...and ima run a test pipe and take out the cat..any other fairly cheaps mods to boost a little bit of hp till i get money for h22 head???
only bad idea bout buying h22 is i want the h23...just vtec!!! i know i gotta tap in to the oil on my block some where and my buddy told me there is a plug i need to take out also
You need h22: complete head, head studs, header, ps bracket (or grind the h23 one), rear water pipe, all the timing gear parts for the block, water pump, piston oil squirters (if you feel like messing around, bending them until they fit right), radiator hoses, ecu, wire the car for vtec, timing belt + gasket set, probably some other things that I've forgotten. A vtec tranny would be better to use than the long geared h23 one. You don't tap anything for oil like an ls-vtec. There's a plug on the top of the block that needs to be removed. You'll see it when you pull the head.
