A little easier to follow, you will need to change the link in your signature, since H-T changed their format, the link is not there anymore.

Amazingly, while the delivering specific outputs of 90 to 100ps per litre, the F20B is also LEV (Low Emissions) ! Both the 180ps and 200ps versions uses the blue valve cover.

I guess if your in the market for an F20B you should make sure what transmission it was bolted to first.

I had never done much research into the Accord SiR, SiR-T or the F20B before this. It's a pretty interesting little tidbit. I figured that there must be a reason for badging them differently. A bhp difference of 180 - 200 would be a good enough reason for a different badge I guess.
