H23Vtec commences
 

so i finally got the money and drop off my h23 spare block. its getting bored to 89mm and cleaned. then having Oil squirts installed for safer high rpm driving.

i also got another small 2K loan and bought the following:

ACL Bearings
MAhley Turbo Tough Rods
Wiesco Pistons
Cometic Headgasket .41
ann all new OEM parts to complete block: Oil pump, timing belt, water pump and piping ect...

i get the block back in 2 weeks. cant wait at all.

now to find a decent head.

good news. i get my block back in 2 weeks from the shop.

i also just order ARP studs.

lookin awesome man, glad to hear its moving along!

well pics are coming of the assembly and parts.

i also pick uped a kaizenspeed balance shaft removal kit, arp bolt kit.

its in full swing bitches:

the block has been bored to 89mm, clean, and milled the surface was rough.









the oil squirts which i have to custom install. the h23 block didnt come with these stock.



the wiseco pistons 89mm off the shelf pistons:

the balance shaft removal kit, made by kaizen speed.


arp head bolts and the girdle freshly cleaned:



unorthadox racing underdrive pully



the manley turbo tough rods with arp bolts included:

and finally the oil pan custom bunged for that GT35R that i havent bought yet:





i will began to work on this after i get my crank back from cleaning + balancing. i also need my ACL bearing which will be here friday.

good shit

looking good man. im glad your doing it right, ive seen too many people try and slap the h22 head on the h23 block with no other work... dosnt work well. im glad to see some h-loving still out there

yea, i love the H hybrid. im think all crower head work. stage 2 camshafts, cams, vavles, retainers

people are telling me to paint the block...but whats the point in doing that?

i could see a ceramic paint retaining a little heat (?)

if thats all it will do, screw that. look at the BLING

just purchased:

Gude Bored and port matched throttle body/IM chamber 67mm to 63mm instead of 60mm to 56mm. This will bolt right in on an H23 or it will require mounting a map sensor on the firewall if you want to use this with an H22 (like I did). I can include one for a little extra. Also includes brand new OEM TB gasket. I don't know if this will work with a 5th gen because a local guy tried to use it and he had a hunting idle and a CEL for the Intake Air Temp sensor (which is on the runners, not the IM chamber). I never got to look at it before he put his old one back on. $150shipped


i plan to port it out to euro R size.

well time to take out the old.

it threw a couple of rods. so i had to buy the civic to get the lude running. but i might keep the civic for shits n giggles.

but here is the progress we made.

man you must have alot of money to blow. good luck.

actually this lude isnt going to see much work for the next couple of months.

up DATE!
