Default What engine

Okay I have a 95 accord lx I was wondering what engine would be the best to swap in(more power, easiest, more potential) I keep trying to decide what I want but I keep reading the specs and different motors and then Im back to square one. And do not say k20

Most H series are common swaps on these. Check the FAQ there are a few tutorials.

Why not go for the C23B?

Or maybe a K24..... why not?

First things first, what is your budget and how much of this are you able to do yourself?

He said B16, I think he's going to need a lot of help.

Especially with that upwards mounted screamer pipe, I've scared a few Prius drivers over the summer.

I'm leaning between a h22 or f20b but I don't really understand the difference other than a slight advantage in tq to the h22. And I said b16 because I keep hearing that the b series more potential than the others. And lastly k series motors are overrated in my opinion

lol B series wouldn't even move an Accord. Why don't you swap in whatever makes you happy?

stick with the H, more engine parts for it than the F20b or u can go F22B1 and boost
but then again it all depends on
1. HP goal
2. budget
3. reality

Can't I just use h22 parts on the f20b. I read they are for the most part compatible. My hp goal is between 260-300.

There is no way you're getting there without a ton in engine parts or a turbo.

300whp N/A would require at least 12:1 compression, more than 2.2L displacement, (88/89mm pistons with a 100mm crank and custom rods). minimum 0.400" lift cams, custom exhaust and intake manifold. 300CFM+ head with larger valves, Individual throttles with a custom plenum would be a bonus. an upgraded fuel system, maybe dual stage fuel injection. Along with a good stand alone EMS with a good tuner and not to mention a talented engine builder.

300whp reliably boosted would require a complete bottom end rebuild with forged internals, get rid of the FRM sleeves. A well pieced together turbo system and exhaust. A good engine builder, quality EMS and a qualified tuner.

Ghost are you referring to the CRV F20B type (Similar to the H22) or to the F20B3 similar to the F22B2/3 as I though they could handle 350Hp+ on stock internals or the H22?

Sure looks that way....just under the air filter on the turbo it looks like the belt to the ac compressor along with one of the ac lines/hoses.

That turbo must be really tiny to fit under that hood though. I was planning on mounting mine this way, but it wouldn't clear the hood.
