Hi,

I own an Accord Type-V, auto, which comes complete with a 2.3L F23Z5 engine.

I don't have any particular problem with the car, however it seems impossible to get any sort of info on the engine itself, let alone any possible mods.

I believe the engine as standard puts out around 150bhp , a chunk of which is absorbed by the auto gearbox and the rest has to pull a fairly heavy car.

It'll usually surpass it's equivalents, but still leaves me feeling that there could me a better balance if a few more BHP could be wrung out of her.

Ideally about a 30-50BHP increase would be ideal, but finding any info on where to start seems impossible.

The quick fix would be a nitrous kit, but this would be my last resort as I'm after a more balanced response rather that short bursts of high power. A turbo or supercharger would be ideal, but I don't fancy being the guinea-pig and certainly don't have the bank balance to go the trial and error route.

If anyone can provide any more info on the engine or available performance enhancements, please post here, or if you know of another application that uses the F23Z5 engine that would provide me with new avenues to explore.

Thanks

Ailwyn
