because people just dont ---- with h23's really.

they go for that vtak ----.

 

for your normal run of the mill hmt build it realy doesnt matter. h22 is gangsta but h23 are floating around junkyards everywhere importers sell them for dirt cheap too 450-650 is street value

 

actually, you'll be lucky to find an h23 for that cheap. Importers sell those bitches for over 800, without the tranny. I have tho, come across quite a few deals from regular joe's that dont want the h23 b/c they swapped for the vtakness of the h22.

If you can get your hands on a JDM F22B DOHC, then get it. It's pretty much the same thing, only .1 less liters and like 4tq less.

it has cast iron sleeves, same as any other f22. I have yet to see a sleeve crack on one of these. Hell, some guys forged piston melted(caused by boost spike) at 400whp and the sleeves were still fine.


with some cams and tuning, an h23/f22b dohc will own an h22. I kept up with a bone stock h22 cb7 against my f22b dohc, tuned cb7.
