I just got a 1998 Honda Accord DX and it has the 2.3 non vtec with a 5 speed and i was thinking about putting a H23A in it, would i have alot to change and what all i would i have to do to make this happen and also could i use my same 5 speed,
also my motor is a 2.3 non vtec (F23A5) should i just keep it and turbo it and if i go this way, what would i have to change on my motor because someone told me i would have to change the pistons and a friend said keep the boost around 7 or 8 psi and it should be fine, any and all commments would help greatly, thanks

 

if you want to go boost just stick with your f23 and turbo it. F series engines are pretty stout engine. Then you will have more money for your turbo kit and EMS. ALL H and F series trannys will bolt up with no prob. But if you are going to get a h23 I would look into a h22 or h23 trans. They have shorter gears better for racing. The f series gears and really long and made for fuel economy.
