Well I just thought it might be a nice post to have all the engine specs for our accords in one place, so here we go:
SOHC 4cyl
F23A1
This engine was used in the 1998-2002 Honda Accord EX and LX, and Acura 2.3CL in North America. The F23A4 is substantially similar, but features ULEV certification.
Specifications
Bore × Stroke: 86.0 × 97.0 mm
Displacement: 2254 cc
Valve Configuration: SOHC, 16 valves, VTEC
Compression ratio: 9.3:1
Max power: 150 hp (112 kW) @ 5500 rpm
Max torque: 152 ft·lbf (205 Nm) @ 4500 rpm
F23A5
This engine was used in the 1998-2002 Honda Accord DX in North America.
Specifications
Bore × Stroke: 86.0 × 97.0 mm
Displacement: 2254 cc
Valve Configuration: SOHC, 16 valves
Compression ratio: 8.8:1
Max power: 135 hp (100 kW) @ 5500 rpm
Max torque: 153 ft·lbf (206 Nm) @ 4500 rpm
DOHC 4cyl Yes there was a DOHC made for our accords
F20B
This engine was used in the 1998-2002 Honda Accord SiR in Japan. It uses a DOHC VTEC cylinder head similar to the H22A found in the Prelude and Accord Euro-R of the same era.
Specifications
Bore × Stroke: 85.0 × 88.0 mm
Displacement: 1997 cc
Valve Configuration: DOHC, 16 valves, VTEC
Compression ratio: 11.0:1
Max power: 180-200 hp (134-149 kW) @ 7000 rpm
Max torque: 141-144 ft·lbf (189 Nm) @ 5500 rpm
H22A
The H22A debuted in 1993 for use in the Honda Prelude VTEC as the H22A1. Versions of the H22A would be the Prelude's signature high-performance engine worldwide until the end of Prelude production in 2001. It was also used in the 1994–1997 Honda Accord SiR and 1998–2002 Honda Accord Euro-R in Japan (however different cams and lightweight crank were used in the Euro R H22A).
Specifications
Bore × Stroke: 87.0 × 90.70 mm
Displacement: 2157 cc (132 cu. in.)
Valve Configuration: DOHC, 16 valves, VTEC
Type: In-line 4 cylinder, aluminum block and head
Compression ratio: 10.0:1 (North America); 10.6–11.0:1 (Japan)
Max power: 190–220 hp (142–164 kW)
Max torque: 156–163 ft·lbf (207–217 Nm)
Redline: 7500 rpm
Engine Control System: Honda Systems PGM-FI with port fuel injection
Valve Gear: Belt-driven dual overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, variable timing and lift
SOHC 6cyl
J30 Series
The J30 displaces 3.0 L and is an SOHC VTEC design. Output for the J30A1 was 200 hp (149 kW) and 195 ft·lbf (264 N·m) of torque. The J30A4 pushed output to 240 hp (179 kW) and 212 ft·lbf (287 N·m) using a three-way VTEC system, higher (10:1) compression ratio, and a novel exhaust manifold cast as one piece with the cylinder head. This version was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2003 and 2004. The IMA hybrid version was on the list for 2005. In 2006 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Accord, Honda created the J30A5, which boosted output to 244 hp (SAE Net 08/04) and 211 ft·lbf (SAE Net 08/04) of torque. According to Honda, horsepower gains were achieved with extensive improvements to the airflow of the intake and exhaust systems.
