Engine Difference Question
Does anyone know the difference between engine numbers:
F23A, F23A1, F23A4, F23A5.
I have recently picked up a wrecked 1997/1998 Honda Accord LX with a 2.2 (2.3)?? engine. A sticker under the hood has the following numbers:
Engine Family - VHN2 2VJGKFK
VIN # 1HGCD5511VA800213 according to a serial number chart the engine is a 2.2 litre, yet the local Honda dealer tells me it is a 2.3 litre? The dealer also tells me it is an F23A engine. When I am looking to order engine parts online, there are the different engine codes of the 1, 4 or 5 number at the end of the engine number and it does matter for part numbers. I plan to build up this engine a bit for performance and put it in a different car. Also does anyone have an idea what the stock horsepower and torque is for the engine.
Thanks a lot......

Re: Engine Difference Question (Crew Chief)
well if its a 97, unless the engine has been swapped its a 2.2L f22, but if its 98-02 its a 2.3L f23a1/4/5. here is a breakdown of the f23s'
f23a1 - standard vtec motor, rated at 150hp and i think torque is also 150lbs.
f23a4 - ulev vtec motor, mainly found in california or other emission **** states. rated at about 148hp and i think again, 150lbs. tq.
f23a5 - nonvtec motor, came in DX trims. this thing has 135hp and ive seen 135 or 145lbs. torque.
i cant remember off the top of my head how much power an f22 has, but i think the one in the EX trim has 140hp?? something like that... hope that helps a bit.

Re: Engine Difference Question (XiOus271)
Hey thanks a lot. I should have the engine out of the car this weekend and I will be able to get the actual numbers off of the engine.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Engine Difference Question (P_Adams)
i hate how almost every list iv ever seen has the same mistake. The A6 came in the 91-93 SE AND 92-93 EX.
Also isn't the EX-R Canadian while the Accord Type R is JDM. Id think so sense i had one up until 4 days ago.

The type R is European (EDM) and was available in the UK and Canada. It sported an H22, not an F series as we're discussing here.

The F22a6 was available in:
1991 - 1993 Accord SE (USA)
1992 Accord EX-R (JDM)
1993 Accord EX (USA)

Re: Engine Difference Question (ChaosUnbound)
I'll make the notation and pass it along. What I'm up against is corroboration from but one web sourse, and different information from 20 others

Re: Engine Difference Question
I have this car: Exc VTEC ENG;; Qty n... 2001 Honda Accord EX Sedan 4-Door 2.3L 2254CC l4 GAS SOHC Naturally Aspirated. But my car is UK manufactured and the engine designation is F23Z instead of the F23A engine on the American Accord. I have seen many parts on ebay that show they fit both the F23A and F23Z engines. Are the engines the same for ordering parts?

Re: Engine Difference Question

I have recently picked up a wrecked 1997/1998 Honda Accord LX with a 2.2 (2.3)?? engine. A sticker under the hood has the following numbers:
Engine Family - VHN2 2VJGKFK
VIN # 1HGCD5511VA800213 according to a serial number chart the engine is a 2.2 litre, yet the local Honda dealer tells me it is a 2.3 litre? The dealer also tells me it is an F23A engine. When I am looking to order engine parts online, there are the different engine codes of the 1, 4 or 5 number at the end of the engine number and it does matter for part numbers. I plan to build up this engine a bit for performance and put it in a different car. Also does anyone have an idea what the stock horsepower and torque is for the engine.
Thanks a lot......
