List,

I am looking at buying 2 F20B's ex Japan but i need a bit more infomation on them

I know that they are out of the Accord/ Euro Type-R in Japan .

What swaps could they be used for in the US ....

How would the Ecu's compare to say a f22a out of an accord ?

Same as above for a gearbox ? Same as F22a ?

Thanks in advance

Byron

 

anything really
probably not a good idea, you want to rv to its full ref rang which is 7500k bouncing off at 6250 is not fun nor is a 5250 vtec x-over
should be lude ratios
np

 

Actually, the Accord Euro R and Type R come with a tuned H22A motor. The F20B came in the Accord SiR. It is a 190hp motor. The common misconecption is that it came in the R models, and it had 220HP. That is untrue. The most powerful motor offered, in keeping with Honda tradition, is offered in the Accord R's and is the H22. I actually have the brochure on the Accord for the 2001 model year at my house with this info.

As far as the ECU goes, prepare for trouble! Honestly. If you want to know what it is like, call 770 603 9197 and ask for David. That is the number to Acura And Honda Specialists in Jonesboro Ga. They are currently doing that swap. ECU wiring is a bitch!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh and as far as gearing goes, it is geared in between the Accord F22b and the Preludes H22 tranny. I currently run an F20B tranny in my car.

 

what are the rations? tia

 

5 speed auto, right? IIRC the F20B equiped Canadian Accord only came in 5 speed auto flavor.
I guess that's why it says "how does it feel to get beat by an auto?" in your sig?

 

doh, nm, no auto for me then

 

I'm not sure though!

 

anyone here got an F20B ?

i would really like to check if H22a head parts would fit that engine ..

i think i'll post a new thread asking that..

 

Actually, mine is a 4 speed auto. I wish it was a 5 speed. I will have to look into that tranny you speak of. Interesting.

I am not sure of the gear ratios. Sorry.

 

they should

 

Whoa, whoops, scratch the 5 speed auto, but there is this S-matic thing...

SOHCkordVTEC: what makes u think so ?

u tried ? seen ? read ?

 

The valve covers do! :D LOL! Sorry. Actually, I am not sure about head internals. I will see what I can find out for you.

 

i know ..that's why i think that most internals would fit

i'm pretty sure that the valve springs are the same lenght and diameter..
so could get springs made for h22a

then the cams are the only thing i don't know about


what is the compression ratio on the F20B2 ..the 200 ps one .. ??

 

This F20B2 is the one with the blue rocker cover .

It am told this is the 200 ps model

Is this correct ?>

(I have a pic but can't attach ??!!)

Thanks

Byron

 

From my understanding, that is correct.

 

Big James: any news on H22a head internals compatibility with F20B2 engine ??

 

Not yet. I have talked to many people I know, and they are not sure. I guess the need for it never arose. I am going to try to get in touch with some others that I know and find out.
