sorry about my ignorance, all my knoweldge is about B series engines
but is there a H23 that has VTEC from the factory? I was under the impression that there wasn't, but recently someone said there was.

 

H23A VTEC
Accord Sir Wagon (CH9) (JDM)
200ps/163tq
notes: 10.6:1 CR, open deck likely regular JDM H22a head. 95mm stroke
Auto Tranny stock

 

desirable? not desirable?
rare?

 

Im guessing its pretty rare since almost no one knows about it.

Yeah well it is described in the FAQ...which if everyone read, everyone would know about.

 

Yeah, they are supposed to be very unreliable, but none the less a good power range

 

no they arent unreliable.....the unreliable ones are the homemade h23 vtec motors.....

 

they are station wagon engiens good for a novelty, but nothing spectacular. plus the few people i have known who had them spun bearings a little more often.

uhh..so who are all these people that spun bearings with OEM JDM H23A VTEC motors??

And the mains on the H23A VTEC crank are larger, 55mm like the newer preludes...

I had a friend w/ a 2002 honda accord special edition, and when i popped the hood, the sticker said 2.3L, and the valve cover said VTEC, so there u go.

well you want their names and numbers or are you just being an asshat?
they revved the **** out of the negines and spun rod bearings....what do the mains have to do with that? the H23 bottom end doesnt want to rev as high to make the same power, i thoguht that was obvious form the issues that people see with h23 engines....

 

idiot, anyways this motor was actually awd i think, but not sure, also it has a little more power. Unreliability goes hand in hand with who owns the motor. If you take care of it, it will do you find.

wrong
it has 197 hp aka 200ps
it has a little more torque (3-4 lb/ft) than the h22a though and both the power AND torque come in lower. all of which were better for a heavier car with auto (all teh time last tim e i check http://www.honda.co.jp) AND AWD (most of the time)

you take an h23 that revs to 6800 rpm and rev it to 7600rpm then it WILL wear bearings faster. you need "proof"? read this forum in regards to h23's spinnging bearings.

oh really? So explain this to me, I had a jdm h23A in my other daily driver, stock everything down to a stock p13. I by far beat the **** out of it, but did shift her at stock redline often. And ended up with a few spun rod bearings. Yet on my modded h22a with a stock bottom end, i beat the **** out of it, and shift at 8,200rpm, but the block is still perfectly fine? i suppose its the owner huh?

cuz we all know you have to beef up the main journals to prevent spining rod bearings, its the H-T way

There talking about the h32 vtec from factory. Not the h23 non vtec block with a h22 head. I think your confused. Im pretty sure the h23 vtec block is diffrent then the h23 nonvtec block. Im sure it can handle high revs.

no i didnt misunderstand
the factory h23 vtec uses the longer stroke and shorter rods.....just like the non vtec h23.
i got my information directly fromt eh http://www.honda.co.jp website. thoguh its hard as hell to find that stuff now since they removed it middle of last year.

 

Oh ok i wasnt trying to be a dick or anything. I didnt know that info .

no problem, i jsut dont like some peoples attitudes, you are nto one of them though. i wish i had saved the spec sheets when they were publicly and easily available.

 

Check out that intake manifold...I wonder if it is anymore unrestricted than the H22?
