f23 vtec?

[tomnlindsay]

so this guy has a f23 vtec complete motor for sale for 200 dollars. he guarantees it will run and he said he will help install !! he says it will take 5 to 6 hours to take the f22a6 out and install the f23 in. is that possible and would you do it???

What wrong with your A6?

[acc0rd_adicti0n]

i could do it in 4 hrs

[tomnlindsay]

nothing really i just want something different it has 200k on it and the f23 has 66k.

[tomnlindsay]

i could do it in 4 hrs

the whole swap?

[Accrdwgnguy]

cam the A6 man.

I have 191k and I'm camming mine next week.

F23 swaps are possible but it seems like a headache to me. Unless you are gonna pop a H head on top.

pretty cheap. low miles. if it works then i'd say go for it. newer motor.

[acc0rd_adicti0n]

the whole swap?

have the old motor out and the new one in im just talking motor wise tho

[rexload]

what ECU are you planning on running?

[tomnlindsay]

right but how long to do the whole thing and get it running/driving?

[tomnlindsay]

what ECU are you planning on running?

not sure which one i should run. which one should i?

[rexload]

I would only run either the F23 ECU(but you would have to convert to OBDII) or a chipped ECU with a custom tune for your motor(it would cost a couple hundred bucks).

OR you could run the F22B1 ECU because that motor is similar. I wouldn't run the F22 ECU though.

The P0A from a 94-95 EX (the OBD1 F22B1) should work, but it won't be perfect.

I would swap in the motor, and rebuild your old F22A6 for performance. The F23 isn't a performance motor... and while the F22A wasn't designed to be either, it is surprisingly potent.

i currently have a f23 in mines but im gutting it for a h23 for boost. i ran my 91 dx ecu but had problems with it. i changed my intake mani, dizzy, and ecu all from a 94-95 vtec accord.

Sell both and go h23.
