itll say dohc vtec but the valvecover is blue

[cp[mike]]

yeah, h23 vtec has an h22 valve cover, and i believe it is in fact blue.

ive been trying to think of other ways to possibly tell by looking at the pics... possibly figure out what type of car it came from.


only thing that confuses me is the fact that its as cheap as a regular h22, and it says theres 5 available...

no its not. it came out of a 6th gen wagon, most likely an SiR model, if it was available. the Euro-R had an h22, which is a fairly well known fact.

itll say dohc vtec but the valvecover is blue

hmm, it says in the swap FAQ on here than the h23a dohc v-tec motor came with a black valve cover..

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.

what i dont get is why it has the same compression and redline and everything as the h22a, yet it has the same specs(hp/tq)...hmm, cams maybe?
