keep the h23 if you want to go Forced induction, the more horsepower u get the more it matters less whether you have vtec so if you want to build up the car just rebuild the h23 motor and slap a drag turbo kit on it or something.......if u just want a good running car then swap an h22a in it.

THe car had a full audio/video system and about $2000 worth of dynamat, so the car weighed about 1,000 lbs more than stock. It could only pull off an 11.2 or so, we never ran it at the track.
