    H23 Blue Top swap.

    Not to be rude but whats the point of buying a high performance motor at almost 500 dollars over a normal honda motor only to mate it to an economy transmission and lose performance? I understand highway driving and I do a lot of it as well but I still put a short geared tranny on the motors I...

    Leaking Trunk

    How about the trunk liner? Im 99% sure that directs water away from the trunk when it runs through the seam in under the lid. If theres a tear or crack in that strip it will make its way into the trunk and eventually eat a hole under the spare tire compartment.

    frm sleeves are a PITA.. h22 block prep.

    I didnt like the FRM sleeves for this reason. Its really easy to mess them up but you can mess up iron sleeves too. Somone said the FRM sleeves need more TLC because theyre softer. That being said I know they are more expensive to repair and replace. This is why I opted to to get the F20b...

    proposal: Post limit before starting thread

    I agree it does keep out trolls. I guess theres good and bad. I suppose if people really want to stay they will accept the post limit and become a member rather than post a help thread and leave.

    RR's 2014 ATS 6spd 2.0T

    I dont think I ever commented on this but I do remember pictures of it and while I dont like caddys this one is really nice. I do like how its not riced out like some around me. This one is one id probably take a pic of in traffic lol.

    Need help, on the fence

    Thats what i'm hoping for. I think the intake, full exhaust and larger throttle body might make a difference. It doesnt have a ton of torque but its half the cost of an h22 and theres not really that much of a difference between torque on this, the h23a1 and the F23 and the F pulled pretty good...

    Tan Interior Swap

    I switched from tan cloth to black leather in my sedan. I hated how the coupes got the nicer seats. Nicer bolsters, power seats etc. It is what it is though. My front seats are coupe and the drivers seat has fully functional controls. No more pulling the handle back on a hill, seat flies back...

    Any interest?

    I think once my car is running correctly I can do this but moving to florida makes me think I wont need this anymore.

    Frankenstein bumper (SiR-T into 2 OEMs with a lip)

    I remember that bumper lol. I really liked it and I think ill eventually try it myself. God knows i've been feeling brave lately. He also did cut two bumpers in half to make one.

    it's time to re-re-reintrouduce myself

    I had no idea there was a facebook group. I wasnt invited lol. Welcome back too. I just recently came back to the forum and noticed a little less activity than 2016 but its still not dead yet. I'll have to check out your build page later. AGAIN lol.

    Exhaust smell inside the cabin

    If you smell co2 theres definitely a leak. It doesnt necessarily have to come from a hole in the exhaust. It could be leaking at the flange. I was driving to work a few weeks ago and all of a sudden I got super dizzy. I immediately pulled over and when I opened the door I fell out. I had carbon...

    Frankensteins Official Thread

    Ok, old engine is out. F20b had the wiring harness attached to it so I should be able to run the harness in and plug it right in. Just need to grab the pinout and do a little research before I complete the swap this weekend.

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    Thanks guys lol. I hope it’s ready too. Seeing as how it puts down 180, I’ll have less drivetrain loss because I’m using a manual transmission, plus intake and full exhaust. I won’t speculate how much it will put down. I’ll have to get it dynod one of these days. Just need to find a suitable ecu.

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    As of 1045 this morning I am the proud owner of an f20b. Very clean I might add. I knew the difference between the cams and throttle body so that’s why I pulled the trigger on it. More power than the h23a3 at the same price. It was a no brainer. Thanks for the responses. I was told the wiring...

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    No thanks on the hybrid lol I think I’d rather go with a stock motor to start as hybrids can prove to be unreliable. Also I don’t have a usuable engine to combine with the new one anyway, the h23 that’s in it now is trashed. Block and head but at least the alternator is still good lol

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    Because I can’t afford an h22 lol they’re 1000 + dollars. If they weren’t I’d do it but my ceiling is like 600 so it’s either f20b or h23

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    Well the H23 is basically a DOHC F23. Everything externally i've found is identical as pretty much everything bolts right. Well accessories that is. I know the exhaust manifold on the H is wider than the F, probably because Dohc vs Sohc. It will drop right in but I want to take the time now to...

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    I can get another H23a1 or the F20b auto version which will mate up fine to my ms24 manual trans. Only difference between the manual and auto f20b is 20 hp from cams and throttle body. So, H23a1 is a great motor but in my opinion the downfalls are the FRM sleeves. This motor pulled my car pretty...

    Need help, on the fence

    I got this lol. Although after doing research, people say theyre not happy with the F20b because of the lack of torque and accords are pretty heavy so I can see how torque can be an issue. Hopefully someone with a degree in inertial forces can chime in but, F20b has like 20 hp over the H23 but...

    Frankensteins Official Thread

    Update, new h23a3 is getting picked up this weekend. Let’s hope this motor hasn’t sat too long and is in good working condition. It’s one of those JDM low mileage motors. I was told it’s got anywhere between 35 to 65k. I’m not sure if that’s true but the block stamp tells me it is EUDM or JDM I...

    Boosted Accord Pricing?

    My h23 accord was up for sale on Craigslist for sale or trade. I was looking for a prelude si to trade it for. My car has a full interior swap, full exhaust and engine swap. I got the following offers and mind you the car ran until the motor blew, which had roughly 20k miles (new h23 is on the...

    FS: F23a4 part out

    Yea let me know, I can hold them. Just sold my razer blade stealth to fix my car :darryl: . If this motor dies like the last one this cg is going to the junkyard lol. I don’t want to speculate too much on how the last motor died but I have a little over 3000 dollars into this cg and all it has...

    Need help, on the fence

    Thanks bro. Let’s hope it doesn’t explode like the last h23 lol. And rusty , I’m not glad I solved this issue, at least not this way lol. The move to Florida is happening at the end of the month and my brother is moving out of the house where my car is so I’m now in a deadline.

    Need help, on the fence

    I recently picked up a 14 inch 4k QHD+ razer blade stealth for 200 bucks from a friend. I got an offer for 750 bucks to ship it to someone in jersey. They do however go for like 900 on ebay and 2600 for a new one on amazon. This money would give me plenty to fix up frankenstein and I would have...
