you'd need to get am h2b kit or use an h/f series transmission, the mounts and wire up vtec. But you'd have a high reving blue box of fun lol. i was actually considering this setup for my Hatch, so i say go for it lol.

you CAN, but the f20b revs higher than an h22, and has different compression as well, your engine wont be working right unless you get it tuned, or use the original f20b ecu. also you know theres two types of f20b's right? one auto and one manual. i believe the difference comes from the cam shafts and something else i cant remember. just try to order an engine that has the ecu lol

and yes all aftermarket parts for an h22 will work with the f20b since they'er pretty much the same engine.

I had one in my 4dr eg it was hella fast but water got sucked in the intake and messed up my rod bearing. It would just take off and rip first and all of second on the f22 trans with long gears chirping third on a stock seco clutch. I also had the auto version i think but the bitty moved. Oh and i forgot to mention it had two cylinders with low compression cause the head was warped.

Are you for real? The only other honda engine that has a better r/s ratio is a B16a, its even better than a K20.
