hey guys, im lookin into an H23a DOHC vtec swap for my 97 accord!
but im alil confused about this particular motor, ive searched throughout the internet, found a few things but, the numbers are completely whack, so im wondering if someone can break it down for me?
where did it come from?
from which car? HP and torque figures? as much info as possible!!

much help is appreciated!

thank you

 

Do you have the serial number of the car it came out of?

 

i dont, my friend was gonna find one for me through his shop! he can get it, im just curious as to which car and year it came out of, more importantly, what kinda HP and torque figures it has!!

 

TTT

 

You sure this is the h23 VTec?

 

yes, my friend sold one, unfortunately, he doesnt know the HP n all that! nor does he know which car it came from! :<...
reason why i ask is to see if its even worth the trouble!! i know i can get it cheap, thus, selling my H22 cheap!!well, block only anyways!!

no one knows??

anyone know where i might be able to find the info??

 

does it say vtec on the valve cover?

 

yuppers, its just like the H22a valve cover only blue!! there is such a thing!
like i said before, my friend had sold one already!

 

think they put out 210. Wish I could get my hands on one of those

 

210? hmm...i thought they were 220 hehe!!
how certain are u on 210? any idea what car and year it came out of?

 

Here just found this on automotive forums

You can find this engine at osaka motors.com
It's out of 99+ accord wagon sir. It has 200 hp
163 tq and redlines at 6800. about the same as the H22</TD></TR></TABLE>

checked and osakamotors.com no longer exists

 

ouch!! im pretty disappointed with those #'s......thank u all for replying!
but that looks like its not a good way to go! hehehe...
i guess the lude typeS motor is the way to go huh guys??

 

Give me the H23 then!!!!!!

 

hahahahha!.....whats the point? what does that motor have that an H22 doesnt besides that .1 litre and 800rpms less?

 

I got what very few have got rarity factor

 

aaaahhh...i see....whats the compression ratio on that thing?

 

probably similar to h22. Nothing that can't be handled with some Type S slugs

 

and by slugs u mean....??

 

pistons The biggest difference between h22a and type s

 

doh! of course the pistons! lemme ask u something!
i have ur standard H22a4 motor and i just installed skunk2 stuff into it, cams, valves, ret, intake man, throttlebody!

would it be worth it to get the typeS and put all the above stuff on the TypeS, the stuff mentioned above?

 

Type S Parts will raise your compression.

 

hmmm...what is the compression for the typeS anyways???
