F20 engine swap

Re: F20 engine swap (blkknight619)
It seems to be pretty hard to fit a whole car into another car's engine bay. Maybe if you broke it into many pieces and spread it in the back seats and trunk it would fit.
If you do it, Jesse James might put you on the next episode of Monster Nation.

Re: F20 engine swap (blkknight619)
Yes it bolts right it, and i believe the stock ecu will run it (if not a little rich).
There is a sohc f20 and a dohc f20, make sure you get the dohc one if you do. Hp is at about 140 with less tq.
You are better off using an EX engine as they are also about 140hp and the same tq you have now.
To make ur life easier, i would suggest getting the cast manifold, the dual runner intake manifold w/ iab, and the corresponding ecu out of a ex/se to get the hp bump from 125 to 140.
Then you wont have to fit another car into another car's engine bay

Re: F20 engine swap (SuperSlow)
there are 2 f20b actually...you can get a jdm non vtec dohc f20b (similar to dohc non vtec prelude h23a) or the obd2 f20b 200-220 hp which is a nice swap but you would be changing some things. i have a obd1 h22a distributor if you ever need one. best bet if you have to replace motor is h22 swap obd1. if you just get an h22a your accord trans shouldnt last long

Wrong. There is only one. You mean the f22b dohc.

Re: F20 engine swap (SuperSlow)
there is the f22b DOHC non-vtec, then the f20b DOHC VTEC, the f22b is perfect for turbo b/c of low compression, but the f20b is definately an all motor type engine b/c of its high compresstion...the main difference between f20b and the popular h22a swap is that h22a has more torque with alot better aftermarket support, but the f20b revs higher and more expensive
