2.3 SOHC.

Is this part of the K-series engines? I doubt it, but if it is then there are better things you can do for it rather than some headers

Cool upgrade, I like the 98 to 02 Accords, I would not mind one for a daily.

04 Crown Victoria + 4.6 liter + FLowmaster Exhaust + heavy right foot = //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif on gas mileage

Wtf is wrong with the F series? F20C = s2k motor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Okay, shut up, I know the F23 doesnt have much if anything at all in common with that high revving VTEC engaging beast...

But hey, I have the same motor, and header/test pipe. Should see a 15 whp gain as I did from those mods. It is practically all from the test pipe though, as our cars are ULEV and the cat is fairly restrictive. I dyno'd my car at a whopping 124 whp with an Invidia cat-back exhaust and AEM short ram intake and then dyno'd at 139.3 with the test pipe and header added on. I believe the manual version also dynos slightly higher.

Unfortunately, still gonna get crappy power from the car till a Turbonetics or DRAG turbo kit is installed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Or just scrap the F23 for a JDM H22A //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Lol at you putting headers on that car. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Actually, you may gain some HP with it. What else do you have planned for it?

I have a 2.3l Duratec in my Focus ST I have done some mods to it.

LOL @ you, a Focus? Ouch.

I'm not sure what other mods I'll be doing. I don't plan on dumping a ton of money in it.

I see a ricer war in the near future..i do think the focus could beat the accord though

Lets see which car lasts longer, and is more comfortable, better built, etc. Lets both rev to 6500 RPM and see which is smoother.

I've taken a ride in a 2006 Focus (sedan), and it wasn't much of a step up from my mom's Sunfire. Fit and finish of the interior was "decent", but the exterior was a joke. Not to mention it sounded like you were traveling at highway speeds, regardless of how fast you were actually going.

If you're a true car guy, then you will respect another car guy, and think "to each his own", instead of being a smartass on an internet forum. I could care less which car is faster, I'm just another car guy tweaking his ride.
