Can you put a VTEC engine in a non VTEC car?
Re: Will a VTEC run ok in a non VTEC car? yes, it will run just fine. though if you want vtec to work you will need to wire it up either straight to the ecu through the firewall (plug underneath the battery box, almost directly at the ecu) or through the shock towers to make it look OEM.
What car does a F23A come in?
Honda F23A engine reliability, problems and repair. This is the largest engine of all Honda F-series, which was released in 1997 and was named F23A. It was developed based on F22A open deck cylinder block, but the cylinder bore was increased to 86 mm. A 97 mm crankshaft was also installed into the block.
When did the Honda F23 VTEC come out?
Honda installed the F23 VTEC into two of its cars: the Honda Accord and the Acura 2.3 CL. Prospective buyers could choose to upgrade to the F23 VTEC during the 1998-2002 Accord model years. During the 1998 and 1999 model years of the Acura 2.3 CL, Honda offered the F23 VTEC as a premium upgrade.
When did Honda start making the VTEC engine?
Japan-based Honda Motors first introduced its VTEC, or Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control engines in 1989. Honda began manufacturing the F-Series engine as a larger displacement power plant for its Accord and Acura line.
Do you need dual cams to run VTEC?
You do not need a dual cam setup to run vtec. I believe your civic has a stock d series engine which is a single cam most, likely a d16 (if you have a d15 it is more complicated). The difference is with SOHC there is a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. where as with DOHC there are separate cams.
What was the displacement of the F23A engine?
To fit the new crankshaft into the old block, shortened rods with the length of 141 mm were used for F23A, and lightweight pistons with reduced compression height of 30 mm. That was enough to get 2.3-liter displacement. For the F23A engine, VTEC SOHC 16 valve head was used.

What’s the difference between VTEC and ULEV engine?
In addition to the electronic EGR control and lean combustion afforded by the VTEC swirl-combustion process, the ULEV engine uses precise air-fuel control made possible by a Linear Air-Fuel sensor, secondary oxygen sensor, high-performance catalyst and new 32-bit fuel-injection microprocessor.
What’s the difference between the F23A1 and the ULEV?
It is substantially similar to the F23A1, but features ULEV certification with a slight reduction of power: 148 hp (108 kW) with a maximum torque of 150 lb·ft (203 Nm).
What kind of engine does a Honda f23a4 have?
F23A4 was an analogue to F23A1, but oriented to higher environmental standards. This motor had modified intake and exhaust manifolds, and a different ECU.
