h22...pfffffffft!

[NupeLude]

first of all i run a 93 lude Si thats rite the nonVTEC. and yes everybody has there kill stories. but heres the ironic part all u guys are switchin ur accord engines for a prelude engine and im doing the opposite!

that rite the 99 jdm SiR accord wagon was fitted w/ a dohc h23 VTEC no its not som sort of franky its jus a fine rarity @220hp stock there not a stock h22 out there tuchin the low end tork on this elusive monster!

so all u h22 to junkies out there shood put that in ur pipe and smoke it. and al u guys who haven dun a swap yet shood do ur research b4 u die to the hype.

Interesting, I'll let my Doctor Know

[NupeLude]

Omfg!!!!

i was just reading thru som of the older threads. i dont have a h22 but god dayum i have to tip my hat to Midnite/Wikked/Deev/Sparkle/Fear. u guys kno ur shit and im greatly impressed.im new so hopefully i will not b embaressin myself to offen in future post lol.

Keep up the good work... KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

and a thanx to TiTO92E_X for recommending the site~

Yeah.... good luck finding that motor for a "good" price. Its been discussed before and the concensus is out:

That motor isnt worth the price tag compared to a JDM H22A. With the spare cash youd save buying the H22, you could invest in some goodies for the motor or your car in general.

Plus.... doesnt that motor come with an auto tranny???

yes, we know.

Now if there was just some way to take the AWD setup that also comes on that wagon and fit it to a car in the US... THAT would be something!

If you can afford it, more power to you. litterally

before u get too excited, that H23 vtec motor is also rated at 200hp;
the jdm prelude type-S was rated at 220hp
and speaking about torque(not tork can't spell) here are some numbers:

H22 dohc vtec 161.2 lbs/ft.

H23 dohc vtec 162.7 lbs/ft.

they're both slow
but thanks for the props

[93accordEX]

yea primo pretty much just summed it up. H23 vtec isn't anything all that great, it was made for a different style of driving considering it only came in an awd automatic station wagon. its does make its power a bit lower and has a lower redline. Personally I don't consider that a good thing.

enough said right there...

i'll give you more props if you modify your swap....otherwise it's just another swap that yield same basic power to the H22 common swaps

wow u guys r definitely sticklers... spelling and all huh.

the motor is rated @ 220hp tho that is somthing im not standing down on. besides that it is mor expensive but its nice to have something no1else has u kno.

nothing like havin that "ah ha" factor. besides teh h23 block is stil better for turbo

and 1lb of "tork" (hehe) or not im still a firm believer that that is no replacement for displacement... if u dont have principles wut do u have.

besides i can always say "my engine is bigger than yours"
if nothing else. yes i know its juvenile but its supposed to be fun right?

[92ex]

If you believe there is no replacement for displacement, you would have a v8. hondas don't have displacement, hence were putting nitrous/turbos on them to make up for the power.

[MRX]

that h23 block is has high compression just like the h22...the prelude h23's are only "better" because it has like 9.5:1 compression instead of 10.5:1 or 11:1. If you can source some information that says that your h23vtec has 11:1 compression otherwise it does have 200hp/161tq but it just comes in 200-300rpm sooner than the h22's
