My F23/H22 87x97mm H2B Build
This is my little write-up of my F23/H22 build. I am building this motor for my 91' Civic HB. This car is NOT my daily driver, it is used merely for drag racing as well as some street action.
I will try and keep the thread updated as much as possible. Here's the breakdown:
CAR: 1991 Civic DX HB
ENGINE: F23A bottom end / H22A Head
TRANNY: JDM B16A S1
I am using 87mm K20 pistons and the 97mm crank which will yield 2306cc.
I am going to begin the building phase soon, I will be setting the motor in the car for mock-up before the block goes to my machinist. I will provide further information and pics later.
Patiently awaiting...

Thanks... always a good thing to plan and do your homework when building something to this extent.

Got a complete F23A longblock for $100. Here is the block(before bead blasting):
MMMMM.... 55mm mains:
Picked up a complete H22A4 longblock for $200 - just had a bad crank. Here is the head:

Re: My F23/H22 87x97mm H2B Build (jdm_ef9)
is it safe for a piston travelling in a clockwise direction to be put into a motor working in the opposite direction?? custom cp pistons only ran me 600$ for an H22(89mm, 12.5 static cr. for 54 cc chambers)
definitely subscribed for this build up keep us posted comrade

safe.... i would say yes.
oem reliable.... not so much
but you cant really expect that when building something like this.
i worked with jeff from blueprint and got a set of trick wisecos.

Well, it wasnt easy but the engine is in(temporarily)! There are a few mods to the chassis I have to make before it goes in for good. I snapped a few teaser pics:

Really all depends on what you are doing... With the K20 and F23 having the same compression height it makes for a fairly simple swap. If you plan on running a high cr or high lift cams then a little more work is required with the pistons.
