anyone have one?
what are the specs on it?
where can i get the top end of it

 

[jdawgs92ludesi]

just go for the h22....save yourself sometime in the end

 

[VtecFreePrelude]

i've taken that into account
i wouldn't have asked if i wanted to hear that.
the jdm H23 has vtec and i thinm it has a little better compression for an all motor set up so if i wanted to go with an h22 i would have asked about it.

the equivalent to a usdm H23 is a jdm DOHC F22B. but with a bit less torque. neither engine has vtec.

There is an H23 VTEC, he's right. The Bluetop. I've found them on ebay; or just search google and you will find something on it. Haven't found any specs at all on it though, ;(. I pretty sure it was only made in Japan, maybe Europe. Theoretically, it seems that it should have more power than an H22, but who knows.

i'm glad someone knows what i'm talking about

the h23 vtec has the same head as the h22 type-S Same 220hp but the torque may be a little higher than the 161ft/tq claimed by the type-s

no way are you serious. In that case why doesn;t everyone get the h23 vtec then.

because the h23 vtec is more exspensive, OBDII, came w/ auto tranny in Accord R wagons in Europe, and hard to find.

 

[Ludasaurus]

An H22 manual tranny would bolt right up though right? It'd be unique to see one of these in a Lude. But what's wrong with OBDII? I never have really understood the whole ECU thing...

I hear its like 5 Grand for the complete setup.You could use the h23 vtec engine and then swap a jdm h22 5 speed on there.Well worth the 5 geez if you ask me.Good luck finding one.

Whole hell of a lot cheaper than doing the "Frankenstein" H22/H23. Only setups like that I've seen that actually perform cost guys like 8-10K. To me it's almost worth it just for the rarity factor.

so tru.Instead of doing a franstein, your better off getting it from the faactory already setup to work right.

 

[Qnz92Lude]

this is the same set up i was going to do not hard to find. Just go to jdmenginedepot.com they have them there. i planned on doing this set up to be a bit different changed my mind though going wit sum thing a bit better. if you would like some info on the engine check my previously made threads there was a discussion on it a couple months ago

In the end, wouldn't it be cheaper to build up a USDM H23 to JDM H23 standards?

2450$ for complete h23a engine and 5spd, everything you need. They are very good folks there, they got great prices

i have a H23a!!! it came from japan with a orange/faded red valve cover. and it came witha 5 sp tranny!!:Rock:

Coulda been swapped?

 

[SovietRacer]

i ordered the engine and droped it in my self. total cost=3200.00

according to this website they come with 5 speed trannys.....all im thinkin about is how hard it would be to find parts for them if there are any
