just looking to see if theres anyone here that done the swap....im in the midst of putting the motor into a buddies car, but im not too familiar with the motor (its the first time i see one in person). ive got a couple questions if anyone out there has a little knowledge they are willing to share....anyone?

 

Ask Machine4321.

 

AFAIK they had lower torque ratings than the H22....doesn't seem like a good number to me in a heavy car....but that's just me. I would also like to know actual gains from this swap...I've got a wagon, so it's 100lbs heavier than a sedan...

Edit: Just re-read the post....

What kind of car is it? Is it really an accord or a civic/integra?

I can't help but think you're going backwards with this engine swap.
The 5th Gen Accord chassis isn't the lightest chassis in the world, and frankly can use all the cubic centimeters it can get. The Civic chassis makes more sense.
You're going from a 2.2 liter (2200 Cu Centimeters) to a 2.0 liter (2000 Cu. Centimeter) engine

Special reason?

thats my f20b in my 97 accord...

 

Nice Accord CD7. F20B in an accord is not as bad as you guys would think.

 

damn..i shoulda bought the one i saw on ebay then..........

 

 

For all the people that are saying that swapping a F20B into an Accord is not logical/pratical/smart or whatever. Go find out what type of chassis the motor came in and look at the hp and tq specs compared to a stock Accord. Yes the tq specs are slightly lower than the H22, but this motor has interesting potential, eg. its rod ratio, sleeves, etc.

 

/\ true. and no sleeves necessary. this has a better rod-stroke ratio, and as such, higher revving potential.
i hear it handles boost well too.

So unfortunately this engine is not for me. I've got a wagon, so every little bit of power and torque help....I could possibly see it going into the coupes for sure, sedans ..maybe.

 

never underestimate the power of a good build my friend...
