remember my accord project? updates here

[DarkSideCelica]

well, i stopped by the shop today, and looked at the progress of the car... it'll take another week or less, but almost there.... problems i have ran into so far include:

1. Alternator and PS pulleys not aligned
2. Missing parts and wrong parts given to me by the f*cker who sold me the head ... basically, i was missing some cam caps, and the dizzy he sent me was for the F23 (accord motor)

only a handful of honda ppeps have done this swap, and I will be the first accord to finish this swap...lots of experimentations and trial and error, but tht's the price i pay for being a guinea pig lol...anyways, here are the pix:

1. My poor baby undergoing surgery


2. Look what we have here.... hhm.... can someone say DOHC?


3.


4. i'm soooo legal ... look at my carb stamp on the header


5. And here is the PITA things that is hurting my wallet :furious: See how the pulleys are not aligned at all


6. H23 brackets, H23 alternator, F23 PS pump (tht's why it didn't match up in previous pix).... they're waiting on the H23 PS pump


7. H23 timing belt and cam gear...hmmm....


8. A big, big mess


9. Visiting hours are over.... time to say buh bai

sorry since I dont' know what your accord was going in for? I thought it was just he headers install...

What exactly are you swapping in?

[CamrySExxx]

nice accord...my fav gen accord. so what did you get done to it ?

[DarkSideCelica]

head swap... going from SOHC VTEC to DOHC non-VTEC... head's off a prelude.... milled, 3 angle valve job, new valves, stage 1 cams, pNp..... prelude IM tht's been port and polished

[jofrad]

thats going to be one nice car after everything. Have you though of a TSX k24 engine on it? hehe

[Epsilon]

That thing is going to turn out nice.

isn't that a usual swap for hondas now swapping to an h23 because of it's torque output and strength and something about being cheaper than the h22 with the vtec. Regardless good luck on the project.

H23 swaps are still rare cos the H22 power output is still way better than the H23... but i'm not swapping the whole motor, just the head which has been built.... the F23 block is strong and is an untapped resource till recently

so your doing an H23 head and an F23 bottom end? Youll hit good tq numbers im sure but wheres your HP gonna sit?? Im smellin a turbo setup in the future with this engine my man... I had a built H22 and the thing was fukkin nasty, once i have some money and im settled i wanna build another one... Good luck with your build man

Celica are you on HT?

boost?

how did u know? lol..... maybe down the road, but not now tho..... i'll be happy for a ittle while with it haha... and yeah, H23 head + f23 block = mad torque all in all, this is a poor man's H22 alternative lol

[WestCoastff]

boost?

how did u know? lol

Hi tq numbers with lower hp numbers like that are begging to be boosted haha, poor mans alternative to an H22, true... you will probably pull on H22's off the line but from a 40 roll or on the freeway i think the h22 will prevail

[DAMON]

interesting project

[leasaunce]

[dna59]

Didn't knwo you had an accord. It looks nice. I'm sure u'll definately wanna boost it when its done.
