What do you mean?

Every one should learn how to decide what they want to do... it's not that hard. Why go with someone else' decision when it's your car? RESEARCH!!


...and then RESEARCH what you are RESEARCHING!!! Gee Oh Oh Gee Ele Ea (google)

i just want to hear peoples thoughts on boosting a f20b or all motor f20b. I never said i was going to do what someone else said i should i what i said was "looking for ideas on what to do to my car next can someone please give me some thoughts"

We don't know your budget, we don't know your goals, we don't even know what you like. How do you expect us to give you any kind of recommendation?

Here, since you haven't given us any information at all, this is what I'd recommend. Trade your F20B for my nearly complete, in pieces JDM B16A. Have fun putting it back together.

whatdoyoumean

Budget doesn't really matter horsepower well currently its at 187 I would like to get 250-300 by the end. And as far as the b16 goes I'm gonna pass. Not a fan.

Yeah you pm'ed me about the b series blocks if you like the f20b why would you be asking about my invitory and i have 2 b20 heads 2 b18a1 heads 2 b18b heads 2 b18c1 heads and most of the blocks to match not to mention d series and h series parts and i own an inport tunner shop in kent as for body parts i dont keep tomuch eg stuff but have my conections i like the ef body series personaly

If you stay n/a, build the head & tune.
If you boost it, sleeve the block & tune.

whatdoyoumean

Well since the f20 already has iron sleves what can it be boosted to on stock. I've heard 15.

Libertariat

15 what?

15 psi means something totally different on one turbo than it does a different size/trim turbo.

Any honda motor is good for FI, period. It's a matter of how good the tune is and knowing the limitations of the block. I.e., reving a boosted f20 beyond where you should is a good way to crack the sleeves. The sleeves aren't thin, people are just stupid.

whatdoyoumean

It's not a b20. It's a f20b it has iron sleeves. I never said anything about trim or size.

Libertariat

I never said you had a b20. I was merely making a point. That point being that, generally speaking, all honda engines can handle boost quite well.

And again:



This tells us NOTHING. 15psi (which I presume is what you mean) means something different on every turbo.


We really can't help you from a very elementary level. Would you really modify your car based on what a consensus of strangers on the internet told you in an evening? Or would you prefer to learn yourself by browsing the thousands of topics just like this that we've seen over the years. Both on this forum and the hundreds of other honda forums that have beaten this dead horse to smithereens.


I suggest you pour yourself into the appearance/build thread section of the forum and see what you like. Look into the All Motor and Forced induction forums and just read what other people have done, their results, cost, etc.

N/A sound good

Allurian

Why yes I do!

white&clean

Yes you do drives dusted *** Jersey shore janky pile of **** I thought so

jbpnoman

Hey white, what ever happened to this?

No one wants to read your e-thuggin'.

white&clean

i never said he couldnt post its not my thred but to come in and insult someone hell yeah im going to defend myself wouldn't you and he was the one e-thuggin not me

white&clean

hay the price for the head is going to be 450.00 if he wants i can include a set of type-r injectors for an extra 50.00

Ok. So I've heard that the h22 head will work on the f20b bottom. How would that perform compared to the f20b head

93h2beg

the h22 head has slightly larger valves than the f20b head, same casting. you gain more airflow with bigger valves but loose air speed.... Which means u have to spin the F higher to get the air speed back.

I was greatly disappointed with the f20b swap. i cammed it, did head work, exhaust, flywheel in a light car... it just wasn't fun. It felt like a GSR with out the peaky-ness of it. Never tracked it, and maybe it would beat a GSR swap in the same car, but when the GSR came into the power band it pulled hella hard, the F20b was, well BORING.
Don't waste your time unless you plan to boost it. After tons on thought a deliberation on it i traded the f for a GSR- It was F2B too with a B16 trans.

If you want to boost the **** out of it, it seems like the perfect motor to boost. replace the smaller valve size head with a worked H22 head add turbo cams and good springs. the iron sleeves are what you want. the h has the stupid FRM which can only be diamond honed or you have to sleeve it. and from my exp. even when u hone the FRM they still burn oil.
