hey whats up. I am a member here at honda forum. I have a 1993 Honda Prelude Si with a H23A 2.3L motor in it. I also have over 4k of mods into it. I know its not a vtech like you said but i was just going to say that the h23 runs awesome. I havent had any major problems with it at all. I actually just got done rebuilding it and now it has about 5500 miles on it. So yea i just wanted to say that the h23 motor is awesome. Zack.

hey man if your gonna spend the money remember you get what you pay for i have a 95 prelude h22 vtec and im tellen you that the vtec makes a world of difference i have a ecu and no regulator which i reccomend cause the vtec doesnt kick in till 5500 rpm and now i dont redline til 8500. with this and only this (for now) ive been putting v-9s and alot of other cars to shame about 6 hours ago i put a 3000gt about 2 1/2 cars behind me. but my real recommendation is get a K20.
