I have a 98Accord LX Gold Edition, w/ 2.3L VTEC, and I want to know if it is possible to change a VTEC into a DOHC VTEC w/o doing an engine swap.

 

add a sticker on the side of your car DOCH VTEC . no need for motor swap

 

I want the torque of the DOHC VTEC, not just a sticker though

 

you may be able to put an h23 head on that block. Not sure though.

 

Sorry, I'm a little new to the whole honda stuff, so what is "h23"

 

Wow, yeah you are a noob :lmao: Sorry.

Check out www.howstuffworks.com and learn about engines...it's a great and easy website to use. H23 is the old Prelude motor, which didn't have VTEC. It would be such an expensive and time consuming project, and in the end you'd wind up with...a Honda Accord with maybe 5 extra horsepower and more pronounced VTEC engagement. If you did everything right. I don't even know how you'd do it though.

 

u could put an h22 head w/ f23 block

 

I have heard of the H-F series hybrids, however given the age of the Accord a '98. It would be financially cheaper to sell the Accord and just buy a 98 Lude with an H22 Vtec.
