H23A VTEC? - Honda Prelude Forum

DumbSickLude · 09-21-2004, 07:02 PM

Hey, i was looking on the JDM swap website and i came across a H23A VTEC from 99-00 accord. Will this bolt into a 4g prelude? Is it worth it over the h22a? Also they have the h22a and h23a both listed as 200hp. It was my understanding that they were 220hp? anyone know?

search...

the H23 VTEC only came in the AWD wagon and was only avail. in auto... but yes it will fit, but its not really worth it.

only the H22A type-s was 220

is there a different engine code on the type s, or is it still h22a?

i think type-s was h22a8 ?

no JDM engine has a number after it. so no there isn't a different engine code for the type-s.

the h23 vtec from the accord has more hp and more tq than a jdm h22. I say go for it. The problem is you would need a manuel tranny and hondata to get it to run right

Also, the H23A vtec is ODB2 so you'd need to make the needed changes to get it to run right.

A thread on honda-tech showed an H23Vtec without tuning put down 190 to the wheels, 163 tq with I/H/E ...

Im so jealous
