Hi guys, New to Oz Honda and was wondering if there are any CG owners out there that can offer some advice or performance parts or some common issues.
I have a factory manual 2.3l VTEC CG Honda Accord.
Can someone point me in the right direction for performance parts for the F23A1 Engines. I can't find anything on them.
Cheers..

Unfortunately the F23 does not have as much aftermarket support as other honda engines
And Australia has never been big with the accords - mainly civics/integras
So again another hurdle
But what performance parts were you after?
Intake/Exhaust/Headers?

Well those types of mods are a given regardless. They are generally first on the list for any car enthusiast. I was more looking at top end engine mods..
I will certainly do that..
You're better of putting a H in mate :)
I would rather stick with the F23 as it is a good strong engine, and also a higher capacity. Putting on a turbo wouldn't be out of the question down the track, but i would like to develop a strong N/A engine first before taking that step. I know that i'm probably going to have to get 99.9% of my parts from the states, that isn't the issue. I just don't really know where to start..
Well you can start with bisimoto cams?
Then you'll need a tune
I'm sure a H23/22 Intake Manifold will be an added bonus
Put a H series gearbox in - short ratios
Lightened flywheel
Clutch
There are rare version of the H
Which is the H23 VTEC - blue top
I really didn't want to go through the hassle of changing the engine as it becomes a very tedious job if you don't have the cash behind you. I was generally looking for basically cam work an upgraded fuel rail and injectors. I am also going to purchase another F23 head and get it ported and shaved. i'm not looking for massive power, looking for more usable power that will surprise a few people. i think i'll definatley be getting some stuff from Bisimoto.. also just going to put some coilovers under it and some decent rims and tyres..
I found a H23 VTEC engine in the states for $650, but it will cost me the earth to get it here.
Don't get H's from the states
get em from Japan sub 100,xxxkms on em
Your stock fuel injectors and fuel regulator are good to over 300whp - don't bother about that
Unless you going all motor
|Haven a clean of the EGR ports in the intake manifold
Coilovers, decent rims and tyres are a good way to go
Or a 4.7 final drive?
I was also thinking of a bigger brake package for when the suspension goes in. Would you have any knowledge to if the V6 brakes and hubs match up?
I don't think turbo/living with an aftermarket turbo is easier than an HswapQuote:

Pretty sure cuz your's is a 6th gen the swap should very easy - your hubs are rotor over hub. 5th gens were the other way aroundQuote:
