well, after alot of car problems, financial trouble and so on and so on and so on and....yeah, ive finally got an h23 vtec almost in my car to replace my blown h22a. ill be running it with the h22a tranny and my 96 obd2 p13. i had an h22a with a bogging/no vtec problem for a year and a half and it decided to spin a bearing on me a few weeks ago. its been a long time since ive had a proper running car so its pretty exciting. we went from having 3 cars to no cars at my home in about a month here are some photos of my accord...i dont have many good ones.

 

is that a car phone in the 3rd from the last pic ???

 

yeah...oem honda in-dash phone.....the unit is by the cd player...has a microphone and sound is played through the speakers. it was like an $800 option for 96 accords, i got it for $9 10 years later.

 

I got the same motor ~

 

i hear the mid-range torque is awsome. what do you think? also, what ecu are you using?

 

nice engine dude, and that call phone is ballin lol

who carries the service ? ?

the cluster conversion is bad *** ! i wld jst hate to be cruising by myself having to convert to mph. knowing my luck id get pulled over jst from being stupid !

 

you can use any service provider. just bring in the phone and theyll set it up using the serial #. i had alltel. its actually not in use now because i cant afford it. you can find them for cheap on ebay every now and than..but theyre pretty rare

 

if i was smart i would hve kept the tach with the 7400 redline but swapped out the speedo with the one from my usdm cluster. but i sold it like an idiot

the great ideas always seem to be after thoughts ! ! i know what ya mean

 

That's a nice looking engine. How much would something like that run for, is it new or rebuilt? Also where did you get it--locally or online???

 

Blue Top H23A compared to your H22A1 USDM? I'd say you'd gain about 10-15 hp and about 15 ft lbs of torque

Stock peak power RPM will be a lil less then the usual H22A 6900 RPM, Shift at 7K no reason to take it up any higher...

 

BEAUTiful dohc head on that motor!
BALLA *** car phone! thats awesome.
nice tachs,
nice post!

 

thanks. the pic is not the actual motor, but mine looks exactly the same. its from a 2000 jdm accord wagon. i got it for the same price as the obd2 h22s are going for so i figured, why not? only thing is, normally the vtec on this motor would kick in at 4900...except they only come as automatics so i have to use my p13 and vtec will kick in at 5200. ill just have to rev a little higher to stay in vtec until i can afford to change some things.

 

good luck with that motor, you can shoot me a pm to let me know where you picked that up for a obd2 h22 price if ya want

 

having a phone in the car is when you've hit balla status..... gangsta as hell lol

 

Nice pick up!

 

Cool car man! Got some pretty unique mods there.

Welcome to the forum, get some knowledge before you go making an *** of yourself. This is not a hybrid. The H23 VTEC is an OEM motor that was available in the 6th gen wagons in Japan
