I've always been a fan of those and now with $4 a gallon gas and no end in sight I was thinking of getting one for a daily driver since the 12 mpg in my Wrangler SUCKS!


I was looking at the 4cyl w manual tranny.

What kinda engine do they have? What would be best for MPG and turboing? SOHC or DOHC.

if it has SOHC, which some pictures suggest, how hard is a DOHC engine or head swap..

thanks

 

Hi, welcome,
all of your questions will be answered with some seaching in these threads. Lots of useful info on HT.com

 

Why on earth do you think turbo and gas mileage go together haha?

 

the 6th gen accord comes w/ f23a1 VTEC (SOHC only) 5spd, i think the non-VTEC is an f23a4 or 6??? im not certain but its a 2.3 liter...as far as gas mileage im guessin 30-35mpg??? mines prolly in the high 20's

and swappin to a DOHC i heard is easy, several accords in 6thgenaccord.com already have the dohc h22 motor on the f23 tranny (called g23) i was gonna do it later on too

but yea, if you did more research it woulda been faster, go to cardomain.com and check it out, or go to (perfect site -----&gt6thgenaccord.com and go to the members' ride forum

 

If you do a search for "New Frankenstein Engine = G23 (F23/H23 write-up link)" here on H-T you will find one very detailed thread by PirateMcFred about the build. It is not a complete H22 swap. It is the process of swapping the DOHC Non VTEC H23/F22B head onto an F23 block. Just to clear that up...

Oh and one more thing. As soon as you start ripping apart a fuel conscious & economical engine like the F23 and start putting gas guzzling performance parts on it. That makes it not so fuel conscious or economical any more. If your worried about $4/gal gas drying up your bank account I would stick to a stock California emissions F23A4 ULEV. That would probably be your best bet for an Accord. And no Turbo!
