Si4WS

This is a JDM motor swapped into a Prelude Si, I had never seen this before, so I took pictures:

Is it the same specs as the USDM H23A1 or is there something special about it?

I've seen JDM h23a's , and the valve cover says " Honda DOHC 16 valve " IIRC...

Interesting RedH22A1, I thought that the JDM H23 was an F23 or somthing, seems now that there is also an H23 in Japan.

Could it be a H23 block with a F22B head?

DOHCVTEC190

But the block is still stamped with H23A which, I and the others have not seen before.

That other JDM motor that you're talking about, Si4WS, is the F22B probably. It's 2.2lt DOHC.

i have never seen a non vtec h23a before. as far as i knew all the non vtec si motors were the f22b, dual overhead cam 2.2 liter producing about the same amount of power as the usdm h23a1.

it might be possible however that the motor has had a head swap on it, IIRC the h23a i was from the the euro sir-t? i don't remember ask satan-srv

how do you know that its JDM?

if all you're going by is what it says on the block, or what somebody was telling you... then most likely you are mistaken

there has never been a JDM H23 non-vtec... only H23 VTEC came in the Accord Sir-T wagon and was only Auto


that is the exact same way my old H23 looked...

ludeandcrude

lucke is right. The engine you see in the picture is an h23a3, j-spec from accord wagon. Essentially a honda-made h22/h23 hybrid.

no no no... thats not what i'm saying... this is the H23 VTEC


the first pics up top are USDM H23's...

Si4WS

USDM H23's are H23A1 not H23A as far as can can remember.

With the first pictures, there were 5 wires coming from the coil???? Hmmm, I don't know what kind of swap is that, but its cool

trancedprelude

i have a jdm h23a... they do have jdm h23s... my usdm one used to say h23a4 before but jdm ones are just h23a.

Lucke

ok which cars had the H23 non-vtec?

i'm searching the honda.co.jp car histories and not seeing a single one.

my UDSM H23 only says H23A...

preludestud11

I would say accord h23a3 vtec, h23a non vtec, they would put the vtec and non in it.

nope, the accord wagon which used the H23 all used the same VTEC motor... 97-01 accord wagon stats (all japanese)

Si4WS

I don't have H23 anymore or I would look, what does the rest of your blocks say H23 people?
