hey all......
found a jdm f20 super cheap and was wondering if it would even be worth it to swap into my 90 lx.........i guess they have more power than f22a1 so that wouldnt be all bad, and my dc header would also fit as far as i know

lemme know guys

 

the f20b is a kick *** motor. If its a good deal, id say go for it.

 

Unique swap even for accords

yeah, japaneese spec cb7's ame with them,and as far as i can figure out, it will drop right in and all wiring matches. if it is a direct swap, i think i am gonna do it. and a f20 a makes more ponies than a f22a and revs higher. i just wanna make sure that it is a DIRECT swap before i do anything. oh and i found the motor for about 300 bux.

 

Check out http://www.cb7tuner.com for TONS of info on this swap. Several of the guys over there have put these in 90-93 accords.

 

yeah bro i am a member there too........i just want as much info from everyone before i make the move

Cool man PM member Zigenballz he has done this swap, and is like the f20 god. I think he is a member here too.

BTW my handle on cb7tuner is JDMcb7

 

if you do it, pleaseeeee make a write up!

 

yeah, no prob sevens.......i will definately do that. i agree that someone needs to make this swap public, since it is more affordable and more realistic for most of us working folk who dont have unlimited funds to build our ****. i got a wife and a kid and another on the way, that come first. i got rust and **** all over my car, but "she's got it where it counts" as Han would say.......

 

i've got one and i love it...but it looks exactly like an h22 w/ a blue valve cover so i get pissed when people call it an h22...oh well. i would strongly recomment converting it to OBD1 and running an h22 ECU then getting it chipped to f20 specs, OBD2 sucks IMO.

EDIT: it is NOT more affordable than doing an H22 for the record, unless you get a deal - which you did. mine cost $3000 and i could have gotten an h22 for $2,100 but i had to be different.

 

how do you figure, after all , the motor is supposed to drop right in and bolt rightup and no wiring mods.....i am finding motors for 3-500 bucks.....what the hell did you do to yours to get it to 3k?

 

If you don't pick it up for 300, let me know so that I can....

 

er.... hope someone didnt get ripped/raped!

 

thanks tips, I meant usdm

 

go for it... my friend wants to swap an F20 into his EG...

 

isnt an f20 from an s2000?

F20C= S2000
F20B = from CF4 JDM 97'+ Accord SiR-T(sir-t 200hp manual version only) and Accord SiR (180hp auto only).


I'm selling my F20B off my sir-t accept I'm not in the states and I'm selling cheap too.

To fit the F20B into your accord, since you're defintiely a obd1, you need to get a H22A intake manifold/distributor/injectors etc and then a h22a ecu ancd you'll be on yourway but you may need to modify your cambelt side of the mount, all other should bolt goodluck, they're lovely motors
I kind of regret not working on it and instead buying a wrecked 01' JDM Accord Euro-r and took the engine out of there.

but yea, my F20B has been modified to fit obd1 ecu's already as well.

 

sounds to me that your getting quoted for a f20 single cam ...be carful as the dohc is kinda rare and yes it usually goes for arounf 3000us

 

yup watch out there is F20B1 and F20B2

B1 is a dohc vtec old model

B2 is the newer models made form 1997 onwards.

and also watch out for either it came out of the sir-T or SiR.
SiR's are all auto with 180hp..diff cams etc, so not really worth it, SiR-T's have more agressive cams and a manual gearbox with good agressive lsd. and 200hp.
