just to let you guys know my h22/h23 engine is almost done. it should have close to 300hp just motor.... hopefully 
i just recently had to have clay testing done cuz i was unsure of the valve clearance since i had the head and the block's deck milled. but it checked out good and found something interesting. the pistons on the h23 are different than the h22. the bore is the same but the indentions for the valves on the pistons are in slightly different places (the h22 are a little wider out) but it is no big deal because the clearance was still alot altho i might tear down the motor and put 10:1 h22 pistons in, i havent decided yet but i think i will keep it the same until something blows(thats if something blows...hopefully not ).
has port and polish, crower cams stage 2a, aem cold air intake, aem true-time camgears, aem powerpulleys, str 70mm throttlebody, golden eagle turbo intake manifold and imagine engineering 4-2-1 header(dyno proven 13hp over dcsports)
and for looks i have the SiR blue valve cover, everything else is painted silver and anodized blue.
I know people already posted some of this stuff but i'll tell you what you need to do this swap since i have nothing better to do right now:
first you need h22 head with all the components (valvetrain and all) you'll need the h22 exhaust and intake manifold (and gaskets)cuz the h23s doesnt match up. however you can use the h23 throttlebody. you'll need a h22 head gasket and h22 headbolts, the dowel pins are located at a different spot on the h22 head. you'll need h22 cam gears, water pump, tensioners, oilpump etc. the distributor is the same. i believe i went ahead and bought the h22 belt cover. you'll need the h22 ecu and rewire it.... altho i havent reached that point yet but i will very soon
but if anyone is thinking about doing this hybrid i suggest just going all h22, it is a very expensive swap because you have to make all the stuff that the timing belt touches match up and H-series stuff, but i spent alot of money trying to make the engine more powerful.
hopefully i'll have pictures of the engine soon, i do however have pictures of the tranny and some suspension components, i will post these pictures when i have my engine back and totally assembled
