Blown H22A4 so i got my hand on a JDM H23A

[97_luder]

So i was driving home on Saturday when my car just turned on me, so once i got it towed home i started checking everything. I had spark and and fuel so i went to the compression test and there lied the problem. Cylinders 3 & 4 and 25 psi so i didn't even go any further. I had happened to know someone with a front clip form an Accord Sir and I bought the H23A DOHC Vtec motor from him. I cant wait to put this engine in my car. I will post pick tonight of the process

Ya thats the harness i have as well.

[97_luder]

so did you notice a big difference with this motor?

[D3UC3S]

The powerband is completely different...it was in a eg hatch tho. I went from h22a to h23a. First gear broke loose in vtec everytime. Its alot more torqy.

[97_luder]

thats good to hear. i'm thinking i might put a light flywheel on while i have the motor out but im not sure yet

[D3UC3S]

i would...and a nice upgraded clutch. get a hondats IM gasket. They come with a nice factory port on the intake side. keep it breathing good and you will be happy as hell. Also this motor loves a 3" exhaust. Get a tune as well. Should be just above 200 whp with that.

[97_luder]

yea i know but the only problem i have is that i need my car to commute to school and work so i dont have the time to wait on those parts. i have a HKS super drager exhaust with some knock off header that came with the car, and an AEM v2. i want to replace my header but im not sure what to go with

[D3UC3S]

Kidd makes a great header but thats only if you wanna notch your crossmember(which i doubt)

[97_luder]

no i think ill pass on that lol. does the hondata gasket make that much of a difference and what are you using to tune your car?

[D3UC3S]

It was my old car...Scotty tuned on chrome pro. IM gasket just keeps the IM a few degrees cooler and optimizes that factory port that wasn't there on the h22.

[97_luder]

what port are you referring to?

[D3UC3S]

on the intake side of the head. Its the same head as the h22a but honda put a factory porting on the openings to where the intae valves are. They basically opened up the head a little more than the h22a

[97_luder]

oh ok, after i put the motor in i think i want to get a Apexi and get it tuned

[97_luder]

has anyone got their car tuned with a vafc2?
