F20B Osaka Power Check
Just wanted to share my "initial" dyno run.
I had to make the six hour trip from Tokyo to Osaka in order to use a Dyno Jet instead of the very inaccurate Japanese made Sakura Dyno Systems dyno.
My car is a JDM CF4 1998 Accord SiR-T with 67k miles.
Modifications are an AEM V2 intake and a Buddy Club Spec III catback.
173 HP
132 lbs ft
I will be fully documenting my engine and chassis build here on HT in the near future.

Re: F20B Osaka Power Check
I will start in June. Initially with all the bolt-ons. After I have maxed out the engine as a 2.0 liter I will be increasing the bore and maybe possibly getting ITBs. This F20B/CF4 build will ALL be completely documented here in the All Motor Forum.
I love my car (the SiR-T, instead of the Euro R) because it is distinct amongst all the "normal" Hondas in Japan. It came with the first 2.0 liter DOHC VTEC engine from Honda. It was the FIRST Honda to utilize VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) and the first FF car availble in the WORLD to utilize this technology. It was also the first of only 2 Hondas to employ a five arm multi-link rear suspension. It was the first Honda (and the first car in the world) to implement a cockpit adjustable EPS (Electric Power Steering) system with variable gear ratios. All of these technolgies and a few more have been combined to produce an advanced, sporty and dynamic sedan.
Most (90%) of the modified Hondas in Tokyo are Integras, Fits, Odysseys and Civics with some S2000s thrown in to the mix. Accords (TSX in the states) are RARELY modified to high levels. I almost bought a 4DR Integra Type R because of how seldom they are seen. I decided not to get one simply because I wanted a model (in this case a version) that was never available in the US. In other words, the 4DR Integra can be replicatedwith all the Type R parts, while the CF4/CL1 Accords cannot be because the chassis was never exported to the states.
My 2.0 power goal is 240HP and 170TQ. The car will serve triple duty as my daily driver, "Touge Monster" and track car.

Re: F20B Osaka Power Check
Funny that you should ask. I was just thinking yesterday of how the F20B engine develops its power.
Even though it is only 173 and 132 to the wheels, it feels like a great deal more because of the characteristics of the engine. I prefer this engine over the H22A because of the shorter stroke. I am VERY please with this engine in its stock form, it has a HUGE amount of potential. It kinda reminds me of a B16A the way that it freely revs. I dont know why Honda gave it the exact same redline as the H22A!! It is quite evident that the motor wants to rev higher.

Flywheel bolts sheared off and need to slap another crank I got. It will be back. The sweet spot should be around 8400rpm.
