okai so i got a 1992 honda accord and i was wondern on this i dunno a lot about hondas i never ownded one that long so i was wondern i got that car and it has a 16 vavle doch motor right but is that a vtec? or is it just a normal motor? and was wondering whats the biggest i can swap it with because im doin up the car and i wanted to drop another motor in the car because this one got like all 500 thow on it and it runs grate and everything but when i do up the car i need a new motor because im doin up the hole car from int to paint right so if someone could help me on this ill take you a lot!

 

Take some pics of the engine and post them here.

 

of the one i wanna drop in it or the one thats in the car ?

 

If the engine really is a DOHC engine then it is most likely not stock, and could be one of several engines. Is the valve cover in the car factory painted? If so what color. Take pictures of the engine in the car. Also look at the engine between the exhaust manifold and transmission. It will have a casting of F22** or H22**. If its VTEC the valve cover will have VTEC cast into it.

 

Poor Accord will be on its third engine.

 

yeah uhm its not sayen its even a doch motor the one where itd tell me what size motor n that anit there so its just says 16 vavle honda n the head is painted black?

 

heres the link of the car. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater

 

or if that dont work http://www.cardomain.com/ride/393299...rd-ex-sedan-4d

 

It's pretty blurry, but it looks like an SOHC to me.

 

all it says on the top is a 16 vavle honda so.

 

i just looked all over the motor and couldnt see anyything that would say what size motor or what type so. whats the biggest i can put in it?

 

k its a soch motor 2.2 but whats the biggest i can put in it?

 

it is a f22b2 and you can put what ever you dream up under the hood but for a drop in swap would be a h22 or a f20 both dohc

 

so i got another qustion i really need answered, befor i swap my motors. i got 2 honda accords now ones a auto the others a stick. now the autos starter is placed father back then the stick is there a reason for that or is that just standered becuase of it bein stick?

 

H22 swap. Me n my friend have been looking, h22 is probably the biggest and best if you build it right

 

The starters are in different locations due to space issues with each transmission. The AT has it on top the MT has it on the side. The starters do not interchange with each other, if you are using the MT you use the MT starter, if using the AT you use the AT starter.

If you are still unsure of what engine you have, and depending on what market the car is originally from/intended for. More than likely its a North American car and it will have an F22A1(125HP) or if EX model the F22A6(140HP). Check this link for where to look for the engine stamping http://asia.vtec.net/topics/enginecode.html

As for largest engine, there isn't any difference in size of the F or H series engines in the North American market, 90-97 Accords and Preludes both came with 2.2 Liter engines. The major difference is in the heads. SOHC, DOHC, VTEC, non-VTEC. Later 98-02 cars did come with a 2.3 F or H engine.

The most potent stock engine would be a H22 VTEC engine ~190HP. If you wish to take full advantage of this engine, couple it with the Prelude H22 VTEC transmission for better acceleration over the Accord transmission.
