I saw somone on ebay selling JDM H23 cams, and it made me wonder if there were any differneces. are there any differences? Anyone have specs?

 

as far as i know, the h23 didnt exist in JDM land, only a dohc f22b

 

should have done a search this was just covered exstensively ....but to answer your question the only jdm h23 is vtec and thats for the sir accord but the f22b was in place the h23 non-vtec which shared the same cams.

 

i thought that the h23a came in 2 versions from japan. the dohc non vtec and dohc vtec versions. the us got the h23a1.

if thats not the case, then im at a loss. i have an h23a no 1 after it, but it had the regular dohc valve cover. it was not tightened down when i got it, and it was missing cams and guides. so, people are saying there was no h23a except the h23a vtec. so im lost. please clarify. searching hasn't helped.

You have an H23a with no 1???
And it is a DOHC Non-VTEC???
Is it USDM??? JDM???
Where did you get this motor from???

 

he said it was missing cams and original valve cover...

for a complete list of engines, codes, jdm, ukdm, whatever, go to the tech/data sections at http://www.accordinglydone.com

 

You guys do realize that a lot of places that sell JDM engines advertise the JDM F22B motor (the JDM equivalent of our H23) as a JDM H23.

They are referring to the F22B. I believe that the F22B motor has the same exact cams as our H23.

 

i know but this guy is saying he has and h23a...

It's the same thing as an h23a1

 

yea but where the hell. its said everywhere that the only h23a made was a dohc vtec, and from what i can tell, it's not vtec.

how can i tell. are there differences in the block, (i.e. open or closed deck) if so, how do i check it. also, im not sure if it was the original valve cover or not, b.c it came with that one, the guy never said it wasn't original, it just wasn't bolted down.

by the way, the head has p14a stamped on the side, which means non vtec, am i wrong.

have i proved everyone wrong? i picked this engine up from a guy in va beach for 200 dollars. if it is somehow the vtec, it's for sale. haha :D

 

p14 is non vtec head just like on h23a1
apparently there is an h23a non vtec
same thing as h23a1

 

The ONLY JDM H23 is VTEC, from the SiR Accord Wagon. JDM Si Preludes use F22B.

 

apparently my head has exploded.

maybe i have a vtec block with the non vtec head?

 

bump someone help colin out. Whats up with his motor??

then how come there isnt a record for an aussie h23a?

 

What do you mean record?

 

in all the faq's and "essential" prelude links, there is nothing saying there is an h23a dohc non vtec in australia or in general. theres plenty about the h23a vtec and h23a1.

 

Only site I know off the top of my head is the 4th gen Prelude comparison chart on preludecrazy.com. It lists both Australia and New Zealand Si ludes as H23A and USDM as H23A1.

As far as JDM engines go I am pretty sure on this because all the info I get for JDM engines I get directly from Honda Japan's official site which still has places that lists all engines for all generations.

read this thread...full explanation https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=795140

 

so either, i have the aussie h23a non vtec. or the jdm h23a vtec block w/ a p14 (f22b dohc or h23a non vtec) head. i'll bet my money thats it the aussie versions.

thanks guys.
