I'm planning on building a nasty N/A g23!
Wanted to know if anyone on heres running one? searched a few times, didnt find anything. just hoping i wont have to go through pages of accord and prelude mods to find out which parts work best for the dough. I've got a pretty good idea what i want to run, i just really dont like the price tag! (who does!?)
thanks!

u got a build thread? i wanna see!

G series motors are great for power but are not good for reliability. Properly built a G motor utilizes K series pistons mated to H rods inside an f block with pullies and parts all over from all both h23/h22 and f23/f22. I had a G22 in my car before my h22. Miss it but I DONT miss the headache. If its ur DD I would highly suggest against a g22/g23. That being said if ur building one with after market parts the parts themselves dont really matter. It what u wanna build for that determines ur parts. What DOES matter however is the proper build procedures. Checking p2v clearances etc etc. The thing with Frankenstein motors is theres a LOT that can go wrong. Best advice is take ur time n research research research. Another issue is engine lifespan. Frank motors lifespan even properly built n maintaned wont last like a normal one. At best its said u get about 60-100k out of them. Outside of that I would reccomend just gettin an h22 and callin it a day. For the money ur gonna lay out anyways u can build just as fast an h22. Best of luck and keep us posted.

diamond- thats what ive heard... the issue with an h22, cant you not use aftermarket pistons or bore over? and ive got a y7/y8 minime in my ek coupe as my d.d. this is going to be strictly a performance build, saturday night drives and track nights!

and believe me, i want to do nothing but research as much as possible before i dump cash into this. it just seems cheaper (not by much buut) than a k series build, and even if i did a k series, id take a k24 and mount a k20a2 head to it! (this is for an eg hatch btw!)

IMHO I would build a K series motor vs the g23. Even if u mate the k20 head to the k24 block its still all k parts. Something I forgot to mention on the g build (im not sure if u kno already or not) is u have to fab a custom coolant pipe. U take the top of the h23 line and half of the f line n u have to connect them and hop like hell they dnt leak. But with a k ur looking at a better aftermarket as well as more reliability.

first off... damn!
second off, yea im pretty sure with a 10-15k budget i should beable to rig up a k motor to do that.
3rdly what was wrong with that viper!? it was spittin a lot of white smoke down the track?

He doesn't have near that I to that car. Maybe overall cuz its strict track car n he tears it down every week etc but u wouldn't believe me if I told h what was done to it lol. Cams itbs drag version of my header n lots of tuning. That's it for the engine. All on s300. Then obviously the slicks n clutch etc n its gutted. Like I said it's a race car only but ya...not too much all things considered into the car. Where he cut cost is he tunes it himself at his shop.

As for the viper its a mix of wheelspin n being on the bottle
