its bout time to sell my 91 5spd max, ive been seriously thinking bout a 2.3CL 5spd. Do they share the same eng mods and susp mods as the accord? even brakes, just so i know in advance, and how much hp do the 2.3 have, i wanna end up piking the right car this time, thanx

 

Yes 94-2001 Accord parts will amost always fit. The F23A can be found in the 98-2001 accords and the 98-99 2.3 Cl. The f22 can be found in the 97 2.2Cl and the 94-97 Accord. The 2.3 gets 150hp to the crank and about 120 to the wheels give or take. I drive the absolute shit outta my 2.3 and I have 111,000 miles now and it was purchased in 98 and Ive never had a problem. The 2.3 manual weighs 3004lbs 0-60 in like 7.5 and quarter mile in 16.5 dont use the stats on the net they are from the 2.2 which only has 145 hp. The engine is SOHC. This site is full of discussion of parts so just use the search option. We have turbo cls, nitrous injected, heavily modded etc. I love mine but Im biased. Welcome to the sight by the way weve probably had about 20 guys join in the last two weeks.

 

wow thanx, that helps alot. All the guys on the maximaorg r telling me CL's r too slow, not that i need n e thing fast, but my 91 does prolly 8 sec 0-60 and i did a 16.3 first time, not a big diff there. but im goin out right now to look at some CL's, thanx for uer help.

 

Just remember that to get the full potential of the vtec you need to rev the car high, try to keep it above 4300rpms all the time

 

i used to have 95 SE 5 speed ...........my 2.2 5 speed nearly as fast as max was ....... oh well i think cl looks so much better tho

 

Definately move into the honda/acura realm. I like maximas but CL's are definately more distinctive.

 

i love my CL. welcome to the site.

i can only say one thing that hasnt been said already..... the search function is your friend.

i hope you get to join the acura family.
