Rob I love your commitment to this idea but I cant afford it
Looking at ways to get a little more poke without spending to much.
You looked at turbo what was overall cost?

Scout eBay etc... and build up the parts you need over time. Then your not spunking a load of money in one go.

the 2.3 is a totally different engine it would be like trying to put h22 bits on i reckon breathing mods are the way to go maybe some sort of fan the helps the intake you could run it off exhaust gasses that may help it get more poke

Well, there's a possibility to put a H23 head. But only if you get the parts for free or very cheap, to my mind. Because if you compare work hours, it is almost the same to drop in H22. Of course, then you'll need to change seals, etc.... So H22 is expensive, if you do it the right way.

This was done couple times, but I haven't seen any dyno chart. So no proof of decent power gain.

@Dbo, how did Aaron get more power out of his 2.0L?

H23 manifold is a straight bolt on iirc and gives good results. The f20b, f20 a, h23, f22 and f23 are all similar and a many parts do swap over, even bottom ends can be mixed about.

hey, the f20b out of a jdm accord is basically a h22 with a smaller bore and stroke (according to wiki)

the f20a fitted to the lude is different

Correct. This was so Honda could enter the touring car since they have to be 2.0s. They used it for 300bhp all motor in the uk BTCC accord.

Seems to be the case as I've looked at the numbers and H22 would be nice but to do it right starts to become costly, plus my units only done 68k so worth keeping I reckon.
Turbo seems to be well suited to the F20 but still costs quite a bit
