Default s2000 swap?

If the s2000 engine is a F20C and it is possible to swap a F20B swap into a 92-95 civic. Would it be possible to maybe use the F20B tranny on a F20C engine then swap it into a hatch?

Is it possible to put a F20B into a eg or ek chassis? Would a F20B tranny bolt up to the F20C? Don't F series engines and H series engines share something in common? Like trannys or something..?

.....brainstorming

First of all, an F20b is a destroked H22. And you can't use a GSR tranny on an H series motor without a custom adapter...which I don't anyone's ever done before?

Secondly, an F20c is NOTHING LIKE the F20b!!!! TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT MOTORS! They don't even rotate in the same direction! Honda's concept of "interchangeable" engine codes stopped with the new i-VTEC based motors.

God, there's nothing I hate more than noobs giving out FALSE INFORMATION!

Just by looking at the dementions, it doesn't look like a swap you want to just tackle with no hesitation. You make it seem like your just droppin it in...

******* bullshit

show me proof newbie.

if it has the same mount setup as a h22 it goes against EVERY rear wheel drive mounting system ever used. (they are all basically the same)

ya you could do it using an F or H series tranny....but since the F20C spins opposite direction of the F20b, you'd be going really fast in reverse!

maybe it was saracam who knows, im just trying to get the point across how it gets real tiring when a guy with no experience with cars or what we are talking about, chimes in.

Example: Q: "I was wondering how much boost i can run reliably on a stock honda engine?"
A: "I heard you can run around 25-35 psi, just make sure you have a vortec 4:1 fmu with stock injectors, you don't really need an intercooler but it helps, and use a 2.01 a/r turbo for the best results..it will spool by 10 rpms"

You and your "bud" must of had some big miscommunication. Cause that swap IS NOT EASY, and would cost a shyt load.

hahaha.....jesus....

all i got to say is " WHY "??

you know speaking of s2000's....now this isn't b.s. Last year, at a car show in Lawton, Oklahoma, there was a little roadster of some kind, i don't know if it was custom built or a kit car or what. It was a one seater, like a miniture hot rod, it was a little car...But we were walking by it just admiring all the cars and when we walked by the little roadster i glanced at it and just kept walking...and then one of my friends was like "hey check this out", this isn't bullshit, and i will find the pics and post them for everyone, i forgot all about it until i read this thread...this little roadster had and s2000 swap in it..i guess i didn't notice it at first, b/c the hood, was split in the middle, it opened on both sides, and the side facing the crowd was closed.
Me and my friends looked at it for about 15 mins., and took a bunch of pics of it so noone would think we were full of ****, and we wanted to talk to the owner but he was gone, we waited for awhile, to ask him about it..Also i don't know if it was a local car, or from another state, but if anyone has seen this chime in..and i will find the pics and post them.
most little hot rods you see at car shows, usually you expect to see a chromed out v8 in them, but i guess someone had alot of money to spend, and wanted to be different, and wanted to be able some performance too...it was obviously rwd, and he had the exhaust ran right out the right under side of the car..didn't get to hear it running, but i can imagine it was loud as hell, especially if he wound it up.

I have no idea what you just said.. and where are the pics of it? probably a kit car.. since there is a company in the U.S that does install F20C/B18C5's/K20's in Lotus "Kit Cars"

F20B = ACCORD SIR-T engine(not found in North America) .. 2.0motor with 200hp...11.0:1 CR (basically simliar to H22 but with less displacemet.. so it can easily be swapped into civic/prelude/integra/accord
F20C= S2000 engine 2.0motor with 240hp...11.4:1 CR since the drivetrain is based on a RWD vechile it's almost impossible to bolt up to civic/accord/integra/prelude without major modification and money
