i own a 6th gen ex coupe with a 5 speed stick. My engine code says: f23a4. From my knowledge, ive known that f23a1 is the 150 hp version and the f23a4 is the 135 hp version found on DX models. What is the f23a4 i see on my ex?? please clarify this to me.

 

weird my 6th gen lx says f23a1

 

The F23A1 and F23A4 are the same 2.3L SOHC 16-valve VTEC engine. The F23A5 is the 2.3L SOHC 16-valve NON VTEC engine only found on the DX trim model. - Source Haynes Manual

 

COOLIO.......woh......thats a relief. For a sec there, i thought that Honda swapped my real engine with a DX engine and sold it to me.

 

:rockon:

 

That woulda been far more trouble than it woulda been worth

 

but it shure as hell would've made a funny story

 

hahaha especially if an engine with matching VIN's showed up on EBay :thumbup:

 

dude... you traded in your type S?!?!

 

if Honda really did that, i would be able to sue them rite? and maybe even scheme off a 03 ex cpe 6 speeeed off of them?
