which prelude motor
 

i might be picking up this 95 prelude si with a possible bad motor, t-belt install gone wrong, worst case im gona need a new motor, plan turbo it if i keep it, its has a h23, my un-educated guess would tell me this motor would be better to boost, lower compression, more displacment, who needs vtec, or should i spring for a h22

also how much have any of you paid for shipping on a long block from hmotors to the midwest

Re: which prelude motor
 

depends on the price

Re: which prelude motor
 

Throw an F series in it and boost the crap out of it, cheap and easy ;D

Re: which prelude motor
 

ya i thought of that, will the h23 trans bolt up to the f22? i think it does

Re: which prelude motor
 

Pretty sure most of the stuff if not everything is interchangeable between H and F

Re: which prelude motor
 

Get and f22 a block, put your h23 head on it, then boost the ---- out of it. f series loves boost.

Re: which prelude motor
 

All H/F series trannies are interchangeable :) (And don't go pullingthat S2000 is an F series bs.)

:y

maybe someday ill actually experience boost in a F series.. ugh

Re: which prelude motor
 

i think the head migh be the f'd up part of the motor

so is it a direct swap on there? i heard some of the non vtec f-head flow better then the vtec f series heads, and the h23 intake manifold is good on them

Re: which prelude motor
 

the f22ax head flows better than any other f heads, vtec or not.

h23's can take an insane amount of abuse believe it or not.

someone on here, i forget who exactly had over 400whp on a stock block h23.

Re: which prelude motor
 

ya i always thought of boosting an h23, it seems like a "big" ls motor kinda, lower compression, no vtec, dohc, but i dont ever hear to much of them making alot of power
