Default Flywheel in Prelude BB3 F20a4 engine

hi
could you help me please

i have an european modell honda prelude 94 with the f20a4 engine
i cannot find a flywheel that could fit into my prelude
fidanza has only flywheels for h-series engines not for my f-series

would every flywheel for f-series fit in my prelude

thanks

Any F or H series flywheel will work for you... But wow... I would love to have a 4th gen prelude with an f20a4 in it... I would just slap on an H22 head with ome huge cams and a huge turbo and rev the **** out of that thing....

It's a long story on the head swap... do some simple searchs for F23 block/H22 Head, or G23 VTEC... But everyone in germany is wrong, all H/F series clutches are interchangeable...

The H-series crankshafts have a pin that mates to a hole in the flywheel to clock the flywheel. This is so that the timing marks on it can be used. Most of the F-series engines have these marks on the accessory pulley, and their cranks/flywheels don't have the pin. In this case the flywheel can be installed in any of 8 positions (it doesn't matter). So yes, they are interchangeable, but depending on how you are mixing and matching parts you might need to drill a hole or grind off a pin. In this case, be careful about using the flywheel marks to set timing. Good luck.

I doubt the F20A4 even has a timing window in the block to see the flywheel... All the F blocks I have seen don't... Good info...

Doubt it. F20A4 revs till 6500 stock. It's the same motor like in S model but less displacement. Nothing special.

Yeah but it it still has to have a good r/s ratio unless the pistons are rediculously small... The rods/bolts probably just aren't as beefy as an F20B...

my f20a4 has redline at 7000 rpm

i installed

h23 intake manifold 63mm throttle

dc sports stainless steel header h23

high flow cat

invidia catback

cold air intake

and then a programmed chip just for my car that costs 450€ (nearly 580 us $)

and it runs a little bit better then a h23 and a little bit slower then a h22
