    Engine Swaps

    Looking to possibly do an Engine Swap, Looking for Opinions from all Negative or Positive
    Right now i have a 1998 Acura 2.3CL which is the Vtec engine, Trying to keep the whole Vtec concept going Ive looked up a couple Engines that might work (Lets keep in mind i know Absolutly nothing about Engines, lol) Thats why im here looking for help, Give me some comments.
    I know the F20B is rated at 210HP and could get one for $700(With 35K miles on engine). The H23A im not sure of HP(I assume 200hp?) but also can get it for around $750(With 55K miles on it)
    Or if you think i should keep the 2.3 that i got now and could use the 1000 bucks or so to Muscle the engine up without a swap also let me know, what some possibiltys could be, or what you would do

    Like i said Open to all opinions

    you got a 150hp stock i think. i would either trade in for the 3.0 cl at 200hp then beef that up, or just save my money. It's somewhat of a luxury car, I dont see any of hondas 4bangers tugging that along to well.

    turbo the f23a1. DSM turbo manifold will fit, so will the turbo. Downpipe probably will, might need slight tweaking.

    Talk to the DSM guys about what turbo to use.
