this is a newb question. I just bought a 92 prelude with a h23a, it is an automatic. ok so my first question is does this have vtech?? second is if it does when does it kick in.

 

no vtec

 

Vtech
wish we all had this in our cars.

 

Better contact the 1-800 support line on the side of the box. But really no vtec

 

H23A does or doesn't have VTEC (depends which vehicle it came from). H23A1, H23A2, H23A3 do not have VTEC.

To fix your VTECH, simply attach a standard phone line and put the handset on the charging base.

 

My baby girl has a VTech.... I hope it doesn't kick her in!!


Simple way to find out though..... open the hood and if the words on the top of the engine say VTec instead of VTech.... you don't have VTech

 

Good phone

 

great phone. my vtech goes mmbwaaahhhh, when i go too far from the
reciever.

 

[IMG]well if u have vtec u would have a solenoid like this arounf the head on yo left if yo looking at it[IMG]

 

josueneta try to post the img again so i can see what it looks like

 

seriously, the valve cover will have a big VTEC on the top of it if it is.
you dont HAVE to look for the solenoid.

 

thanks josueneta, and singlecamslamed there is no doch vtech on the valve cover the last owner painted certain thing under the hood to match the cold air intake so they could of changed the valve cover also. so ill have to check for the solenoid.

 

It's easier to listen to me. Just look at the block stamp.

 

the stamp on my block says h23a.

 

Awesome! The only ambiguous one.

 

Doesn't say DOHC VTEC but the block is stamped H23A? Methinks the (#) after the A is oxidized.

 

I've heard it's common to swap in the non-VTEC H23A (from the Ascot Innova).

 

I find it amazing how some people still say vtech or v-tech. But there has never been a JDM H23 non-vtec... only H23 VTEC came in the Accord Sir-T wagon and was only Auto IIRC. The engine probably is an h23a3, j-spec from accord wagon. Essentially a honda-made h22/h23 hybrid.

 

the stamp on my block says h23a. allow me to quote myself, i was wrong the stamp on my block says H23A1. So im quessing this is not vtec. my vin comes back as an SI.

 

You're just so full of FAIL.

There is indeed a non-VTEC H23A and it came in the Ascot Innova 2.3Si-Z, just like I already ****ing said. Furthermore, the H23A3 came in the EUROPEAN Accord 2.3i SR (which is a 4dr sedan, not a wagon) as well as the Rover 623.

Next time you want to post something contradictory, just don't. Hell, use the Search feature.

Correct. H23A1 is non-VTEC. You're welcome.

 

now he cant put vtec stickers on the side

or will he a: lol

 

You coulda found this answer on Wikipedia ! Just search H23a it will bring up the whole family of H engines an specs, etc. thought id throw my 5 cents in

 

That's courtesy of me, also. I redid the Prelude, Accord, and H-Engine pages.

 

Aww...did you learn that from me??

 

its great that you know everything you do people, but dont get butthurt if somebody else uses the input people. its free knowledge.
i've never seen people staking their claims in prelude info lol
