What is a good head I can change my 97 accord Ex 4cyl to? I need more power.

 

I need some good head too. haha, sorry I could't help you...

uhh i dont think you can change the head on a f22b1

 

yeah...there isn't a head that'll fit our cars...the dohc heads won't fit on there because they are all off of a different series of engines...so your sohc vtec head is probably the best for what you have...

p.s. if you want more power just get an h22 (prelude)...that is probably your best bet or you could go with an h23 (non vtec) and put a turbo on it (this is pricey however)...the stock accord engines are not meant for speed unless of course you have the big ol' V6...

 

Yeah, thats why i was hitting the same speeds @ VIR as GSRs

If you are sadistic, then try to bolt on an S2000 head. And to those of you who doubt the F-series of engines, the greatest engine in the world is an F-series.

Unfortunately the great F motors like the F20B in the Sir-T and the F20C in the S2000 do not use the same block as in the F22/23 Accords.

 

Actually, the only reason they would be an F-series is that they share the same basic block design. The only differences are the oil passages, which could be re-routed with a custom block extension.

 

Same basic design, but its not the same block.

 

H23A1 OWNZ.

 

you could put on a F23 head...they re worked the intake and exhaust ports completely...probably flows better...but not worth the money

 

Honda motor codes do not relate to the block. The F20B is a H22 block with destroked crank. The F20C is entirely a new block, probably based on the new K series engines.

 

h and f series blocks are fairly similar

 

Actually, every inline 4 block in the world is fairly similar!

 

The F20C is not a new block, and it definitely is not a K-series. The K-series is not like any other Honda motor, because it spins the other way. The K-series uses a similar block because the F-series has a very robust block.

 

The F20C in the S2000 was Honda's first clockwise spinning engine, just like the new K-series!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Check the palcement of the intake and exhaust when you look at the engine. They are still on the same side as the other F-series motors in relation to the tranny. Which means can't spin backwards.

 

is this guy the CEO of honda or what? comon...

 

No, but I have studied Hondas for the past 6 years. I also interned at the Honda plant in Marysville, OH last summer. I learned a lot there. Too much.

 

Whoa dude. The F20C in the S2000 is a longitudinally mounted rear-driver. Every longitudinally mounted rear-driver in the world has a clockwise-spinning engine. It is a fact that the F20C was the first Honda engine to ever spin clockwise.

 

Stop now or forever hold your tongue. As proof that not every long mounted engine is clockwise, my 924 turbo was made with an Audi engine. That engine spins counter-clockwise, even though it is a long mounted rear driver.

 

the F20C was the first Honda engine to ever spin clockwise

 

I was just guessing that every longitudinally mounted engine rear drive car had a clockwise spinning engine. But I do know for a fact the F20C spins clockwise, unlike any previous Honda motor which spun counter-clockwise.
