I was just wondering if anyone had an EG of any sorts (ie. hatch, coupe, sedan, sol) with an F20B swap in there car. im looking for some pictures of how well the swap fits and works and what not. some videos would be cool too. let me know what you guys have. thanks

it looks like a h22

Found this. First search result on yahoo search engine. Who would have ever thought to do that?

I thought the F Series was SOHC?

i believe the sohc ones are the ones with the A, but B and C is dohc

You are correct, most of the F-series are SOHC.

However, this is the F-series engine found in the S2000 and it is DOHC. I believe that it is the only DOHC F-series, or one of the few.


Kinda like how D-series are SOHC, except for the DOHC ZC engine.

I thought the S2000 F series was not related to the F series thats in Accords. Would a RWD engine even work in a FWD car? Maybe this is a F block with an H head?

Nevermind, F20B is a DOHC JDM engine. Its not a F block with a H head.

It's still an F-series but is pretty much completely different. An F20B is a destroked H22.

Yes, it would work. You use an H-series transmission.

S2000 engine is F20C.
F20B is from a Honda Accord SiR-Torneo. Swaps like an H.

Kinda, but not really. A DOHC D-series head won't swap onto a SOHC block without some work. I think it was a guy in New Zealand who I read about swapping a DOHC head onto some random D series block. But F and H series blocks and heads are all interchangable regardless if the block had a SOHC or DOHC head originally.

Good luck finding parts for that thing, Better think about that first.. I would prolly just throw in a H22 if i were you, But it's your call.

Do it. The only parts you can't easily obtain are bottom-end related things. The cylinder head is nearly identical to H22, same intake and exhaust stuff, etc. Swaps just like an OBD2 H22, so follow the how-to's and you'll figure it out. Everything you need is in there, trust me.
Just make sure you get the MANUAL transmission version, and get the T2T4 transmission if you can. The automatic version has 180hp to the manual's 200hp; the manual has H22 Type-S cams and a bigger throttle body. The T2T4 transmission that originally came in the manual transmission version has good ratios (identical to 5th gen. Prelude; nothing neuters an H22/F20B like an Accord transmission with long gears). It also has a limited slip differential, which will be a major plus for you. Do intake and exhaust mods; RMF or Hytech header (replicas OK), EuroR or Skunk2 intake manifold (also makes swapping to OBD1 much easier!), and it should make power up to 8,000 RPM, maybe a bit more. I'd use a chipped OBD1 P28, with the Skunk2 manifold to get rid of the secondaries, and tune it. The F20B loves timing advance, so there are big gains to be had with proper dyno tuning.

read the post, not just the title

see this was kind of the information i was looking for. im really familiar with swapping an EG chassis, and i have handled an h22 swap a few times as well. needless to say i know what im doing. i was actually planning on doing exactly what you had mentioned...up until the tranny part. i would love the stock f20b tranny, with its lsd and cable shifter, but since i have a vtec model sol im planning on doing the h2b kit. its just going to be way cheaper. i wont have to buy a tranny, axles, shifter cables and tray, clutch, flywheel, mounts, so on and so forth. but yeah the plan would be to get the f20b long block, euro r i.m., obd1 distributor, p13 ecu, and probably just a cheap stainless header cause i would hate to go chop up a $500 or $600 header. so yeah....thanks for all your info F20B_CX. im guessing by your user name that you have a f20 in an eg?....i would like to see some pictures of it if you have any. that would be sweet.

and as for the rest of idiots...ie. the only dual cam f series is and s2000 engine and thats whats in the civic in the picture, and the, i thought f series were only single cam, and the why put an f20 in your del sol, just out an h22....blah blah blah. go finger fcku someone elses thread you retarded fckuing post ******. stay out of mine unless you have a relative and helpfull comment to my question or pictures of what im asking about......F20Bs in an EG chassis. thanks.

thanks again F20B_CX for your info.
