cord less · 08-10-2002, 09:22 PM

ok, this is for a friend. he's got the stock motor w/ a few bolt ons but wants something a lot more potent and full of v8 beating power.

Now, can someone please PLEASE email me with all the info i'd need to find motors that will successfully fit into the wide engine bay of the 92 Si. Info on h22's, turbo'd h23's, spoon motors, mugen motors, JDM motors, USDM motors. ANYTHING THAT WILL FIT A LUDE. please email me at ORGNZEDKAOS@AOL.COM thank you very much everyone for the replies and emails ahead of time!!!

You can fit in any H series or F series(old ones) USDM or JDM. You could try to put in a B series engine but there is not really any point to.

He was talking about a B series spoon motor the other nite. Bad idea in my mind, and I also didn't think it would be compatible. So what, in your opinion, would be the best swap for a 92 Lude Si?

Sounds like your friend has watched the Fast and the Furious one to many times. Just stick with the h22 swap or tell him to turbo his h23. Those are the best two options. If he goes with the h22 swap I would go with the JDM engine. Seems to have alot more potential than our usdm engines. There is a type S varient that you can get for a couple thousand more than the regular h22, however the cost really isn't worth it for only 20 more hp.

fast and the furious is the devil

dalude · 08-11-2002, 04:42 PM

yea your only real options that would be very successful would be to either

A) h22 swap
B) turbo the h23 which I am going to do next year

His h23 has over 130K on it right now. So you would say rebuild the crap out of his motor that will withstand up to...15 psi? or 20 psi? so he could get the most power out of it. Also can you recommend stroker kits for the 2.3 L to get all motor power? Thanks for all the help (I dont know much about ludes by the way)

Dream on!

Not impossible but, not likely.

No on the stroker kit. If you want to go all motor put in a h22. If you plan on boosting rebuilt your h23. If you go with stock internals on the rebuilt you can run about 8-9 psi of boost and make about 250-260whp. If you fully build the engine for high boost you can make anywhere from 300+hp.

like the guys said, either an all motor h22, which you would need to do some serious work on it to make it compete with v8s. OR a boosted h23, which brendon outlined above, which would be very expensive but very worth it. good luck to "your friend"

Alright great thanks, ill pass along the info. He's going to talk with a motor swap guy here in Virginia on Tuesday so I've gotta get a hold of him and tell him to stay away from the B's in a Lude. Thanks for all the help guys!!!

It relaly isnt for me, I have a 94 Accord Coupe!
