they say the f20b is higher compession... then the h22a.. f20b less torque.. but its going to be dual cam with an h22 head...

the h22 will have a more usable powerband on the street.

F20B doesnt use FRM ? I saw this on another post but it seems odd.

I get this asked about 20 times a day...

F20B (blue top) cost more to begin with... I always scratched my head on that... (I know the rairety of it)

JDM H22A will make about 20 more hp and 15-20 ft lbs of torque and at this certain time was a couple hundred cheaper... to me it was a no brainer... JDM H22

Since you are sleeving you must have a build planned so why not a G23 hybrid?
