Okay, I know the subject line looks stupid but basicly, I just blew my H22 on my Prelude and I'm looking to get an F20B because it's cheaper, revs higher, and is better for boosting. What I need to know is what are the differences?

Do they use the same clutch? Valves? Cams? Things like that. I plan to mod my engine extensively but I don't want to have to get JDM everything.

Can I use the Exedy stage 2 clutch for the S2000? Skunk2 Valves for the S2000?

Thanks for reading.

 

best bet is to call hmotors or where ever your getting your motor from and asking them.

 

get another H22.

The differences between the F20B and F20C are too numerous to list.

There is not the aftermarket following or tunability that you are looking for.

Not to mention locating the custom bellhousing and K series trans to make the F20C fit in your car.

 

lemme get this straight ur tryna swap a f20(s2000) motor into a prelude??

 

F20b is a destroked H22, totally different then a F20c. The f20b does bolt into the prelude, f20c doesnt.

Uhhh, how about the tranny that doesn't exist?

IIRC, the H22 crankshaft spins clockwise while the F20C crankshaft spins counterclockwise.

This much is true. At least someone knows what they are talking about.

if you have the greens to convert your F20B FWD prelude to F20C RWD, good luck with finding a mechanic who will do that type of mechanical work, also post pictures of your process would love to see this

Oh yeah, lets see the pics...

 

I don't think the OP is trying to put the F20c in his car. He is unaware of the fact that they are really 2 very different motors even though they are both in the F family.......

The F20b and F20c are two completly different motors. Although they are both F-series, they are not at all the same. They spin in opposite directions, The F20b uses a timing belt, while the F20c uses a timing chain. The F20b uses a 5-speed cable tranny ment for FWD, and the F20c uses a 6-speed tranny meant for RWD.
