Hey, welcome to the boards. What part of Florida are you from?

Sadly enough, the H22a swap just doesn't cut it for Accords. Slap the 'lude motor in a hatch, and you're running 13's. Slap it in the Accord, and you're in the mid 15's :\

I was going to start looking into putting in a TL Type-S motor or simliar. My concern is that the new V6's are just that... new... and finding a used one in good condition will be hard and expensive. Going with the Acura motor might be cheaper to aquire.

I am too lazy tonight, but you might want to check the forums on these sites:

i am from tampa florida..where u from?

yea i was thinking about the cl-s motor but what upgrades are there out there for that motor? is thr tl-s better or same?

To be honest, I don't know. I was planning on pursuing the DRAG/FMAX turbo although HP gains would be similar. I guess I just want the BOV :D
And I am from Orlando :D

I've heard of the f20b swap which is more expensive but I don't know i still have a few months to decide myself before i swap.

Still gotta figure out if the f20b is stick or auto or both.

honestly i dont know shit about engines. my car is auto right now and to do a manual switch over i heard it's gonna costs alot. also people are now telling me i should consider an h23a over the h22a. what is the difference? and that osaka website how good is it?

H23A is the engine out of the 92-96 Prelude Si. It is a 2.3 liter, DOHC 16-valve NON-VTEC engine. It has 160 hp.

H22A is out of the Prelude VTEC, and is a 2.2 liter DOHC 16-valve VTEC engine. It has 190-200 horsepower depending on the year.
