I have a 02 ULEV Honda engine 2.3L vtech 4 with 35,000 miles on it and I am hoping to swap for a k series engine any miles will do, but would like around the same. May also trade with cash involved. If you want any more information let me know

I would hope, at some time you'd tell us what is the displacement of this ULEV engine. 2.2, 2.3, etc.

P

 

I hope youre not trying to put the B series in an Accord, that's all I gotta say...

 

True, the poor thing would end up with a hernia for GODs' sake.

Well then do you have a K series engine all I know is I want power and I know that the ULEV isn't going to put out anything near what I want it to in the end.....

 

K series will put out more torque stock than the F would plus its more modifiable and will produce more power. If you get a TSX block, all you have to do is intake, header, and adjust VTC mechanism by cutting some more out, and tune the combo and you'll be putting out 170 torque 200hp at the wheels and at the LEAST.

 

So how much am I looking at if I just wanted to buy it? I really don't I would rather swap and then pay anymore that I have to like that, but basically how much is it going to cost?

 

You'd want a K24....

Accord/Element K24 w/ tranny, i'd say around 1200 or so.

TSX (the best) with tranny- 1500-2000.

The mother of all....

TSX motor w/ RSX-S tranny 2000-2250

I havent researched a lot but I've definitely kept my eyes open for TSX engines...

 

how much do you think I could get for my motor? best possible case that I sell it to a mother who just wants fuel effinciency... Yeah that would be the best case senario. Anyway get back to me and let me know.

 

I'd say 500 or so, depends on the age and mileage.

 

Go and buy another car that would be the easiest way to be fast.

 

engine is 2 and a 1/2 years old and has 35,000 miles on it and you are probably right that would be the fastes way to be fast, but I kinda fell in love with my car so, I am keeping this baby.

 

try a k24 block, k20-R heads, k20-R tranny w/lsd, some guy did this combo and pulled like 230fwhp

 

that sounds good how much would that run me? I appreciate all the posts too this is really helping. So anyway once again how much? Lol

 

You really dont have to do that. If you take a TSX engine, port and polish the head, and mate it to an RSX-S or similar tranny, you'll be making comparable numbers at a much less expensive cost (and more reliable since it was designed that way and you're not piecing things together).

i havent seen any K20a heads available, just the engines, from hmotorsonline, for maybe 5-6 grand, and a 20 wont have enough power to move the accord around as fast as you'd like, the 24 has the torque necessary to do it.

keep in mind the k20-r is in the Accord Euro-R...it makes as much torque as the old H22a7's

 

so what are some good sites to look for this kind of stuff, I mean I know where to find all my other parts, but I have never really looked for an engine I just got tired of freaking feeling like I can't whoop that guys *** sitting next to me at a stop light. So someone please let me know thanks.

The thing is a TSX engine puts down 20 less hp, yet 20 more ft/lbs of torque, it's up to you really, but I like torque because hondas dont have it.

hmotorsonline.com is a good source, but since they only have one K (JDM ITR) I'd go to haprecycling.com or join k20a.org looking for one

 

Alright so what is the best way to get ric of my engine? I mean should I try selling it privately or try selling it to a company or something? Any ideas?

 

Oh and I like tourque much much better

 

your engine is a 2.3 VTEC with 35k miles, you shouldnt have that much trouble finding someone to take it off your hands for a reasonable price.

 

What should I consider reasonable?

most are around 500 bucks

alot of torque? that's a new concept for honda driver.

the fact that your f23a4 is ULEV have nothing to do with how much power it crank out, just to let you know the k24 you looking for is ULEV.

 

No one has told me yet what it would cost for the TSX and the RSX-s tranny can someone enlighten me?
