So I was thinking about stuff I had read on the Honda forums a long time ago.

Would it be possible to put a 3sge head/cams/valves etc on a 5sfe bottom end?

I know when I had my Prelude SI there were guys mating the H22 v-tec head and cams onto the H23 bottom end, the head just needed a couple small water jacket machinings and it would bolt up, guys were making a lot of HP with it. Didn't know if there would be some type of work like this done with our engines.

1. Toyota's aren't hondas.
2. Headswaps are geared towards generating more horsepower... .2 liter of displacement ain't sh!t... in fact, it'll hurt horsepower generation
3. can't have your cake and eat it too... small 4 cylinders cannot possibly make good horsepower AND hold a good useable torque band at the low-end... the way the engine makes horsepower simply cannot generate both.
4. search. I've posted a lot with regard to the 5S bottomend and horsepower... so search.

1. I know, that's why I asked the question
2. I realize they're geared towards generating more horsepower, and displacement isn't everything
3. Who said I wanted a use-able torque band? It was just a general question lol
4. I did search, but I can only spend so much time reading a lot of the same info looking for new stuff before I get sick of it.
