Default Noob here, I dont know the lingo

I have a 98 Honda Accord LX with an I4 Automatic.

Is it a 6th gen?, if not what is it, and how do tell what gen it is?
Ya'll call the motors names like F22, F23, H23(or semothing like that) what is that and what does mine have?

inline 4. that means that the cylinders in the motor are arranged inline and there are 4 of them. inline is also the same as "straight" engines. other types are V engines. their cylinders are arranged in a "V." flat fours or horizantally apposed fours or "H" fours have the cylinders arranged horizantally instead of vertically.
when people say 3rd gen 4th gen etc. they mean the body styles that the type of car had at a certain time.

Is it a 6th gen?>>

Yes.

how do tell what gen it is?>>

Body style. Honda generally keeps the same body design for 4-5 years. 1998 was the Accord's 6th major redesign since it's 1976 debut, marking the 1998-2002 the 6th generation.

Ya'll call the motors names like F22, F23, H23(or semothing like that) what is that and what does mine have>>>

Engine series and liter size. an F22 is a 2.2, F23 a 2.3 liter and so on and so forth. An H22 and F22 are the same liter size, but of a different series/family.

Your car has an F23. 2.3 liter I4 F-series engine.

try www.turbo-kits.com
different people have different opinions
some say it will, some say not unless you do some engine mods first
i personally do not know the real answer as i have not tried this mod...but from reading around, it depends on how you do it and what you do it with
