Hello all

Names Adrian, and im from Cumbria!

As you all are top notch on the H series engines i though id come here seeking the advice i need (not many civic sites can help on the H series motors)

Im joining hear as i need loads of advice and help + Parts with my H2B project

This animal is to go in my 1996 Honda civic

Parts list:

H22A5 Block (Tick)
H23 Crank
H23 Rods
Type-S pistons Or Mahle Gold Series
0.30 Head gasket
Supertech Double valve springs & Ti retianers
Supertech Valve Stem Seals

S9b or s80 gearbox
QSD H2B Kit

Tuned with a p28 on Chrome OR HondData S300 i dont know yet (advice?)

Im aiming for 240+ Hp and 180+ Tq with the H23 Crank in place.

THanks all for looking

Regards
Ade

Nice project you've got yourself there.

Pop up some pics of your Civic when you've got time

Chop chop bro want to see the h2b civic. U not getting more to merge the b to the h for ya seems a good price buddy?
Ill send u my spec list if u want to give u some advice on parts? Box wise id rather have the s80 might be abit more pricey but worth it.

many an issue with this build i forsee having looked long and hard into h23 vtec!
firstly, h22a5, open deck block! not good, the best option would be a h22a imo

have you looked into valve to piston clearances especially with mahle golds? it'll be tight! especially if you have the head skimmed! also to check this you have to have the vtec lobe LMA's enabled

this brings me on neatly to atr/type s pistons. do a bit of reasearch, there was a good couple of cases of the ringlands destroying themselves in this build due to the high compression!

ARP every where and i would be tempted to say after market rods as the compression figures are HUGE!

any way, good luck! i may still go down that route once i have modified a set of rods!

and most importantly WELCOME!

to continue, you will need to have the h23 rods modified to run mahles or atr pistons

the whole bottom end rotating assembly will have to be balanced and make sure you use the oil squirters from what even h22 you choose, these will again have to be modified mind!

also a h23 block is the same as a h22a just the h23 has a little extra part so oil doesnt get directed to where the oil pick up is for the h22 vtec head!

other than that is all a piece of body lemonade!

Welcome to LG

Didn't Performance AutoWorks build a H23 Vtec?
