hey can some one enlighten me on the h23 vtec and the diff between that and h22 performance wise and as a swap. also what about vtec accord sir, and the prelude type sir. which is the best? who knows?
thanks.
personally, not worth it unless you do a really good build, then it will pay off. if you just slap a h22 head ontop of a h23, well you will mostly like destroy something. also if this is your only car and you have never mess with the internals of the engine, i wouldn't suggest it.
most will just tell you to do a h22 swap and have reliability/ease of installation

My mechanic said the h23 bottom ends are sh**. They cant handle the high revs, even though their beefier, their just not made as well as the vtec bottom end. So its best to have a full h22.

That statement is ignorant. The h23 bottom end is similair to the h22. The h22 can rev higher safer because of the smaller stroke. they are made just as well as the h22 the h23 uses the same design and many of the same parts. So its best to know what your talking about before you post, not just i heard this from this one guy so i am going to beleive it now.
F22B is not just as good. I say that becuase i have tried both, i actually own both right now. The f22b reves more freely past about 5000 rpm than my h23, but the h23 bottom end feels so much better.

first please do your research on this stuff before you try and ask questions...
the accord SiR has an H22a, while there is NO PRELUDE SiR until the 5th gen.

My mechanic who works for a honda dealership, has already replaced 5 h23 bottom ends...

i was just being an ass to blacklude4k...
i like the top end of the F22B better than the H23A but one ride in blacklude4k's car made me want the low end power back

ah, the good ol' "my mechanic from the dealership" comment... I don't know why people think dealerships have ALL grade A mechanics that know everything about cars in and out. It sounds like you blew that last part out about him "replacing 5 h23 bottom ends" out of your ass just to justify you mechanics skill since he's from the dealership
