h23 dohc vtec

[bracersi]

I have searched the forum and could not find a thread on it, if anyone knows please send the link, if their isnt one does anyone know about this jdm h23 dohc vtec engine. Most Everyone I have talked to dosn't know anything about it. Some people argue that it dosnt exist. I am looking to do another swap and trying to see all my options.
thanks

Its a stage 3 obd2 v-tec allwheel drive wagon. The motor goes in the cb7 just like h22a. You have to use a fwd trans and use a obd2 wiring harness. Just that that simple.

h23a3, 98-01 accord wagon ,euro-r if i'm not mistaken. get the h22 and spend the money you saved & boost it.

i helped a buddy of mine put one in his prelude about a 11/2 ago, thats when i got my h23 for my first swap, we we're stumped when it came in, he was supposed to get type-s motor from hmotors, but they had a hard time getting one, so they gave hime the h23a3 instead. it was cool and hella fast. but when it was over he grenaded his auto tranny.

I'd love to get one with the 4wd tranny I'd live with the auto!

JDM H23A DOHC VTEC---6th generation accord wagon and SiR

2258cc
JDM H23A DOHC VTEC (black valve cover) and h23a engine code
200hp/6800rpm
161tq/5300rpm
7200rpm redline
10.6 compression ratios
87.0mm bore x 95.0mm stroke
open deck and 2wd or 4wd setups depending on the trim level
LSD optional depending on drivetrain configuration

This is probably the rarest of all the available options and most don't even know it exists. It was made available in 99 when honda of japan decided to quit importing wagon models to the states due to the lack of interest, not to mention that 2/3 of all wagon sales were in japan. The wagon was available in 2wd and 4wd configurations. The 4 door sedan had this engine available in SiR trim. All h23a's also benefitted from a vtec setup which allowed one set of lobes to operate at low rpm for improved gas mileage while swapping to a normal mode during hard driving to provide power. The sedan was available only in 2wd setups with or without LSD, but these trannies are interchangeable as are most h and f series.

PROS: available 4wd drivetrain if you can find it and adapt it, powerful, unique, and uses the vtec II to improve gas mileage.

CONS: more expensive ($3500-$4000), OBD II, harder to obtain, but should be more available in the future since these engines were only released in 1999 in limited numbers.

...just some more info

I would only save 100 bucks by buying a h22 swap.

show me where you found the 230hp h23a3 for $100 more than an h22. the average about $2700-$3500 w/o tranny or ecu. hmotorsonline doesn't have it on their web site any more.

230 hp? I found the 200hp h23a dohc vtec. http://www.japandomesticmotor.com/

Just when you think you know of all hondas engine codes, and are sure that is all the motors out there then you run into something like this.
I give up, I have a engine in my car, im happy.

[phatdoughnut]

98 usdm h22a7 has 212 hp? i doubt it..

doesnt even have the h22a in the list or the f22b dohc. nor does it have the h23a vtec..

[bracersi]

It's a list of ukraine honda engines off the honda of ukraine website.

[souldoubt]

yeah that list is very incomplete.
