    Jay's J36 stroker 6 speed LSD coupe

I know whats its like to lose an engine that you put a lot of time into.....:flipthebird: lol. I wish I could have had the v6...

    jerrychoochoo's 01 Taffeta White Accord Sedan LX "Build"

    Having one of these more or less unmolested is becoming a rarity now it seems. At least in my area. It's great to get a car thats a blank slate. Hopefully you take this far. We need more modified CG's on the road lol.

    Im too lazy to do that lol. I'll be putting in another H23a1 because im an idiot. The motor is the same price on ebay for a "low mileage JDM" motor. They're both 600. If I get the F23 ill need all new mounts and a harness. If I get the H23 again I wont need anything. I think what happened was...

    Ok guys, damaged is assessed. Looks like a connecting rod failure. Ill try to upload pictures but basically the rod broke, destroyed the girdle, crankshaft and actually broke a piece of the cylinder off. There is no way to rebuild this. So it looks like F23 it is. Im curious as to why this rod...

    Consensus Question

    Thanks man. I think im staying away from H series for good. I know some people love them but unless you have deep pockets they're just not practical. The f23 is economic and has the potential to make just as much power for a fraction of the price. I'll post up some stuff when the F23 is back in...

    Photobucket WTF

    I don't think they'll be around much longer. There are a lot of big E-journalism sites flaming them for this cash grab. Reddit community and forums seem to share the same dismay but probably because we relied heavily on photobucket. I feel like soon EVERYTHING will have either ads, subscription...

    1998 Accord V6 AT Trouble

    Usually when your trans starts doing this its on its last legs. I believe the clutch packs are to blame when it slams or shakes violently into gear. I know its probably not the answer you want to hear but you should convert the car to manual if you really want to keep it for a long time. The AT...

    Consensus Question

    So recently I put in a new H23a1 in my CG. Yesterday while going to work, it threw a rod. This motor had less than 20k on it. I literally did an oil change before work. When I got it all the seals were leaking on the timing side. They were all aftermarket so I replaced them all with OEM seals...

    I usually do swaps pretty quick. The H23 swap took like 3 months because I ran out of money but it only took me like a solid week to put in the engine and wire everything up. This time im going to be smart. Im just going to buy a new engine harness and a "low mileage" jdm f23a. I have so many...

    Hey guys, it's been a while. Today I got the surprise of a life time. Was headed to work in my mint H23a1 powered accord. Got on it for a second and heard grinding and the car shut off. I was able to pull over and heard dripping. Great. Brand new H swap threw a rod. After sinking 2 grand into...

    Derek's 2002 Coupe EX (5MT)

    Is it just me or is it impossible to find a driver's seat without a ripped bolster. Literally everyone I found had a crater in it. All things considered mine werent horrendous but at least I have them . Thinking about getting then reupholstered. They seem to be super expensive online. It's hard...

    DIY Paddleshifters on F23A1?

    I tried to build my last f23 and realized it would be cheaper to do a motor swap than piece together the old single cam. That's my suggestion. Everyone told me to do a swap for more power, f23 is a great motor if you have unlimited funds. I never wanted to hear those words but since i've done...

    Frankensteins Official Thread

    Alright guys, car is finally put together and running strong. Had to do the timing belt 4 times to take out the slack and change out all the seals on the timing side. The front main seal was chewed up and leaking really bad. Now I am happy to report the car is leak free and pulls way harder than...

    6000 rpm idle surge

    I think Honda caught that people were doing that so they made the tps pigtail blue and kept the map sensor plug grey lol. I capped the evap lines as well. Turns out it was the idle air control. It wasn’t throwing a code and since it was new I assumed it was fine. As soon as I unplugged it the...

    6000 rpm idle surge

    So after successfully transplanting the h23 motor in frankenstein I managed to finally after a week get it started. Now when I start the car the rpm surges from 650 to 6,000 rpm over and over. It's almost as if the tps is bad. I've checked the following: Briefly checked for vacuum leaks...

    Car discharging: alt and battery okay

    The diagrams don’t usually help when it comes to locating grounds. I have an h23 so my grounds are in different spots so I’ll tell you which ones I know off memory. The door lights and battery will flash if there’s a bad ground if I’m not mistaken because I had this problem a few times during...

    Car discharging: alt and battery okay

    Did you check the codes if any are present? If the eld is receiving too much voltage it will throw a code. As far as all those lights flashing that sounds like a bad ground. I’d start there. Chassis to engine and battery to engine or chassis depending on where your battery is. I too was laid off...

    Update: finally got the started. Waiting for a the final pieces to come in and then the swap will be done officially. I can honestly say I officially swapped an h23a1 into a cg6 with a lot of wiring and a lot of persistence. Shout out to NSWDoc for hooking me up with parts on an almost weekly...

    H23a1 swap help 99 accord

    Re: Frankenstein needs help! Mods please close, problem solved lol. If anyone checks this thread for help just know the coil needs to have battery voltage and you have to make sure it does before assuming your wiring is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    H23a1 swap help 99 accord

    Ok so did an h23a1 swap into the cg6. Everything was installed and put together and when I went to fire it up there was no spark. I verified this by checking the coil wire that goes to the dizzy when cranking. The h23a1 has an external coil and the crank, cam and tdc sensors built into the dizzy...

    Alright guys, hell has officially broken loose. I went out yesterday after getting the rest of my fuel rail components and was excited for the initial startup. Went to turn the key and nothing happened. Reconnected the battery because the positive was loose. Put the key in, turned to start and...

    Update: intake manifold gasket was leaking coolant so went to the dealer to order a new one. Made two trips to the junkyard for ac compressor bracket bolts and line nuts. Also picked up a 98 prelude power steering pump while I was there. I found one of many 99 accords in the yard and made sure...

    Yea wiring was something that was always something I was afraid of and I guess since it’s my car there was more to lose if I got it wrong. But it’s fairly simple once you get a handle on it. I ran into a problem today and I was glad I did the tuck because diagnosing the problem was so simple. My...

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    I know I’m just saying the blame is usually placed on us when it wasn’t our fault. I guess the can’t grasp that the elderly don’t have reflexes like they used to. I’ve had a few close calls with Frankenstein but clutch in, rev and dumping the clutch usually woke them right up lol Sent from my...

    I’m surprised they didn’t blame the inexperienced teenager who was texting in his high speed ricer rather than the extra cautious sweet old lady in her state of the art Chevy Malibu [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
