You guys all remember how I got Hydrolock like during december?

Surgery... Took out the old h23a1, replaced it with a JDM H23a1

I'm not familiar with the JDM H23s, is that the blue-top VTEC H23 from the Accord? Glad to see the resurrection is in motion, keep us updated.

Hey,

Good to see you are getting the motor replaced but I think you have your engine codes confused. The JDM prelude never had (AFAIK) an H23. Not to mention if it did it would be an H23A not H23A1.

Preyluder · 03-06-2004, 05:23 PM

He's probably talking about an F22b (JDM equivalent to h23). Not as good of an engine, but better than one that doesn't work at all I guess...

there is too a h23 JDM i have the valve cover for one

i think you have the one for a f22b that also fits the h23a.

Listen ya'll, for the Prelude, no, there wasn't a JDM H23 for the prelude, but there was a DOHC VTEC H23 that fit into an Accord. I'm assuming if places are selling it, it exists.

ludevtec · 03-07-2004, 08:48 PM

Oh yeah it exists

i3luemrld · 03-07-2004, 09:43 PM

Then what is this from???

MidNiteMysT · 03-07-2004, 10:05 PM

it could be from the f22b engine from japan. the valve covers are interchangeable with the h23a, i think...

i love that valve cover more and more everytime i see it...

i3luemrld · 03-07-2004, 10:09 PM

no its not an f22b valve cover ive checked... many times

RedH22A1 · 03-07-2004, 10:15 PM

i3luemrld is correct. F22b valve covers looks exactly like the USDM H23a.

MidNiteMysT · 03-07-2004, 10:38 PM

so that valve cover is from a h23a from a accord?

92-h23a1 · 03-07-2004, 10:47 PM

haha, my mistake, it was replaced with a 96 Prelude? Not sure, I have to go in and check it out once more. My sisters boyfriend is giving me the free engine from his lot that he doesn't want. I myself too, are confused.

G_Loc · 03-08-2004, 09:14 AM

Just look at the engine code...

Preyluder · 03-08-2004, 07:17 PM

So will that H23 (Accord) Valve cover bolt on to the h23 (prelude) head?

i3luemrld · 03-08-2004, 08:53 PM

thats not the h23 accord valve cover either ive looked, i think im gonna e-mail honda and ask them lol

Satan_SRV · 03-08-2004, 09:27 PM

The H23A VTEC VC looks just like a regular VTEC VC see my catalog here Blue and Red Top H22a Catalog

If the block says H23A1 it's not JDM it's just an H23 out of a local car.

There was no JDM H23 motor in any JDM preludes. ONly the F22B DOHC version 85mm bore.

i3luemrld · 03-08-2004, 09:59 PM

Then what is this cover off of SRV???, and its not an f22b. The f22b looks just like an h23a regular cover, i took my h23 cover off and put this on i bought it off a person from Ebay and he claimed it cam from an JDM h23

preludestud11 · 03-09-2004, 09:38 AM

Their is a jdm h23 A, their was a thread floating around about it a couple months ago in the general section. Their is a jdm h23A but now one seemed to know what car it cam in. Thier was pictures and proof though.
