    Any reason why not to use the stock F23A intake

    Well I want to change intakes so I can adapt a turbo onto this engine have already got headstuds and connecting rod bolts put in car I just need to figure out a shorter intake that can handle a .48 mil turbo, I'm going to be putting 480cc injectors to give it the fuel it needs

    If you can make it work those JDM F20b from the Accords would be a sweet 2 liter swap I think.

    Best bet would be to hit up a 6 gen website or maybe honda tech and ask there. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, please dont take it that way.
    That's a 98-01 engine if I'm not mistaken yea?

    Yes it is a 98-01 but it is a jdm engine its just an f23a single overhead im honestly just needing to know the interchangeable engines with mine intakes pistons heads lol I know a little bit about the internals on honda but not much... just need to know the engines I can use parts from like a h22 intake or f20b intake or b16 intake what bolt patterns will match my f23a

    Could buy the gaskets for those other intakes and see if there close to what you have port wise. be cheapest.

    You don't need an intake manifold for a turbo... a turbo kit with all the intake tubing probably won't fit in a swapped car either, so why don't you do yourself a favor and see if you can actually manage to install the engine in the car before you hang a turbo off it. But fyi a Mitsubishi 4g63t exhaust manifold basically fits on that engine. Foofy? - YouTube
