Need some more power for the F23A

[1NonlyAccord]

I need to get some more power for my 99 accord with the F23A engine.
Already have cold air intake,dual catback exhaust, OBX 10.3mm sparkplug wires.
-Just orderd some dc 4-2-1 headers, and OBX hi flow cat

about to add a VIS- invader carbon fiber hood to lose bout 50lbs

what are some other bolt on parts that can increase the power?

[WhiteAccord]

Search as always.... Theres plenty of mods for the Accord.. one would not be OBX... G/L

[1NonlyAccord]

For starters, your loosing power w/ a DUAL catback, secondly dont waste 600 on a hood that looks like garbage and does virtually nothing for your power to weight ratio

X2^ 600 is a third of wat u could get a h swap for!!! but if your a ricer then go 4 it

[1NonlyAccord]

well it technically started out with a Number1 catback single exhaust. but then i got a bodykit and it had to openings in the rear so i got the dual custom made..

[WhiteAccord]

Uhh.... Ricer... Well let me give you a piece of my mind.. on a N/A motor build...
Basic Bolt Ons I/H/E
Random Technology Cat
Cam Gear
Gude Cam Shaft
A little Tuning A good 160whp
IF your a little more extreme... and have a little deeper pockets then....
Wiseco K20 pistons (86mm with 11:1 ratio)
Crower Rods
P&P Head
...and more Tuning..preferred by MSPi...A good 200whp

[The Youngn]

^^ur going for the obvious and basic stuff henry. 200whp doesnt do much with such a heavy car and 200 does sound a little too much for what you named. talk to me when you want to get a little more serious with ur motor henry

to add on to what he said....
full synthetic oil
new intake manifold
port and polish intake mani, head, and exhaust
3 or 5 angle valve job
new valves...intake and exhaust and springs
machine and hone the block
go back to the single exhaust
lightened crank
lightened flywheel
new clutch
dry sump lubrication
throttle body
if i think of more then ill post up for you.

[1NonlyAccord]

what about a vortex throttle spacer? and possibly a 68mm throttle body?

[.blank cd]

no. first invest in replacing your oem body panels cause that kit is creating drag

[T34me]

OBX FTL

[WhiteAccord]

I have one of those vortex things... never used it.. want it?

[.blank cd]

Hey lemme use your throttle spacer. it should fit my car

[§treet_§peed]

i gat dat Nawz if you want sum nigga

[Vteckidd]

your severly handicapped with the F23 motor. Not very much stuff available for it, and any amount of real money you spend you wont see very good gains.

they have a huge stroke, so revving the motor with a cam isnt a viable option.

For the price it will cost you for an intake manifold, cam, cam gear, tuning, header, etc, your better off switching to the H22 longblock.

you can pick up a low mileage H22 for around $900-1000. the h22 comes stock with 180whp(200hp) and they have way more mods available to them.

dont try an reinvent the wheel, get the H motor an youll be much happier

[The Youngn]

thank you mike....thats what i been telling my boy but maybe coming from you will make him understand

[1NonlyAccord]

Thats what my Org idea was going to get a complete h22 with tranny and iv found them anywhere from like $1200-$4000 for the jdm h22a with 220hp.
i would have no problem buying a new engine, just i wouldnt kno where to go to get it installed and everything.?
especially in the gwinnett.

We do motorswaps (mainstreamperformance.com)

In Gnette there are a couple of options like:
AAP
Mahdavi Motorsports
H+M Motorsports
Balanced Performance

[99SI]

K24 w/ the ep3 5 speed would be a nice Accord swap. should see a noticeable difference and have an enormous amount of potential to grow. Especially with the new stuff that is continually coming out for the K. It's now a bit more economical to purchase used K parts since the newer stuff is coming out and people always have to get the "newest" thing.

yea iv deff heard bout ur shop.i went to the web and looked at the price and its a lil pricey.
and i lve like 10mins away from Mahdavi Motorsports.

With regards to price, you pay for the quality work you get. I used a cheaper shop than I should have when I got my engine swap done, and almost a full year later, I am still trying to get them to fix their mistakes. The only reason I am still working with them is because of the "warranty" they provide and once they fix everything, I will be using a much better shop. A good job seems to cost a lot, but the "cheaper" ones can definitely bite you in the ass later.

Now, this doesn't mean that expensive = good workmanship, but it means research the shops and find a one with a good reputation and experience with your particular swap.
