Since i got screwed on a d/r motor for my car... im just gonna take advantage of the down time... and get the swap i want.... ive wanted to go with the common H22a1 swap... but i kinda wanna be unique and put the Type R.. F20B motor in. Anyone have any info on what i need or what i can use such as the F22 tranny... and etc. Cause i can get an F20B without tranny for $1500.....any input is appreciated.

 

Please, do a search.
Use the red button that says "search" at the right top of your screen.... you will find all the info you need!

 

if you do a type r swap, one of the negatives they tell me with JDM motors is that it's harder to get replacement parts. you cannot just walk into autozone and ask for parts like that. at least those were the analogies i was told when i asked.

 

go w/ the H22a4 FTW

 

Definitely H22a4

 

well, im not gonna beat a dead horse, but just to tell you an f20b is not an ATR motor...
and an f20b for $1500 with no tranny is 99% from an automatic, have you seen pictures of it? does it have a flexplate still attached? im almost positive but anyways those are only rated at 180ps so for the same if not less you could pick up an h22 longblock and have 190-200hp and a good amount more of torque...
any h/f series trans will work (minus s2k) but ive ridden in h22 cars with f-series transmissions and i wouldn't reccomend it...

 

Correct the F20b is NOT an Accord Type R engine. The Accord Type R engine is the H23 DOHC VTEC motor (2.3L). The F20b is the Accord SiR-T. (2.0L)

TypeR


SiR-T


But the F20b (And H23 DOHC VTEC for that matter) should have same install procedure ..

- Accord mounts (HASport driver side)
- Accord linkage
- Accord throttle body (accord t/b prob. make install easiest)

.. I looked up the F20b DOHC VTEC and i guess it had 20 less HP .. wich is significant b/c will cost you about $1000-1500 in mods to get back ,..

ATR is h22a7 not h23vtec, those only come in new accord sport wagons
f20b in sir-t is 200ps, and in the automatic is 180ps, due to slightly less compression, slightly less aggressive cam profiles, and i believe smaller intake valves (not positive)

 

H22A7 (TYPE-R)

OEM Vehicle Accord Type-R
Chassis CH1- European
Transmission U2Q7
Power 211 hp

Difference:

=Same as Euro-R W/212hp
=Different Header
=Shorter 5th Gear


F20B

OEM vehicle Accord/Troneo Sir and Sir-T
Chassis CF4-JDM
Transmission N/A
Power 200ps/145 ft-lbs

 

Go with the H22..you'll be happier!

 

h22 all the way
