i saw a guy selling an H23a vtech, i was not aware a vtech h23 was made, or is this just a hybrid motor, (h23 block w/h22 head)?

 

VTEC. Not Vtech, veeteck, vetech, veeteckh, etc
there is a JDM H23 VTEC. It came in accord wagons.

vtech is a phone! haha. anyways, if it is a h22/h23 hybrid be careful. I forgot the name of the team, but they went through 3 motors before they got this hybrid running correctly. It isnt that reliable, but yes it is powerful. just be careful someone isnt selling you the engine bc they couldnt get it running correctly. the h23a is a dohc non vtec engine, if it is vtec the vavle cover will say vtec and the block will read h23a.

 

I've just been enlightened...thanks. Where can I find specs on this particular motor?

 

there were 2 versions...a dohc and a sohc model. the higher of the two, the dohc, makes the same hp as the jdm h22a, 200ps (197hp). it has about 13ft-lb more torque though.

 

actually 220 ps which is close to 215 hp

 

4bidden was correct. The DOHC VTEC H23a is rated at 200ps@6800rpm. It is tuned for a little more torque - 221Nm@5300rpm - What's that in lb.ft?

Grrr.... That link through bablefish does not work right... Here's a direct link: http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/a..._data/sir.html

You can go to altavistsa.com and put that URL in the bablefish translator for Engrish.

a lot of people thought that it had as much hp as the type-s, 220ps, but it doesnt. it has 200ps as stated on the honda of japan website.

 

i'ts 220ps but only using an H22a ecu you can get near 215hp on that engine..

best option is to get the H23 vtec..swap cams for aftermarkets like crower or juns or maybe euro R intake cam + type S exhaust cam

then run it on a h22a spoon ecu

or even better..get a euro R int. manifold and use a mugen 1.8 ITR ecu

ahha
kaboum at 8500rpm

 

where do you see some proof of 220ps on the h23 vtec?

 

so what is an H23A1?

 

sorry...i meant 200ps
eheh
my bad
