Recently I was seaching and I found a F20C with all the goodies, I know I have to change axels and all but is this swap possible??

 

Possible...yes.
Practical...no.

why is this not practical?

 

The F20C is the engine from the S2000 and it rotates the opposite direction from other F series engines. In fact it shares more in common with the K series engines and would require the use of a K series tranny in order to properly work in a front wheel drive platform. So basically you would need to fabricate an adapter plate, as well as mounts and any number of other components that won't fit well in a front wheel drive platform. Then you have to worry about chassis clearance as an adapter plate will only expand the already cramped engine bay of a K20 swapped DC. Then you'll need custom axles as the tranny will have to be shifted more toward the drivers side in order for the engine not to interfere with the chassis on the passenger side. Like I said, it's not practical.

well said

 

Integra that is a RWD powered by an S2k engine would be SICK....

IF you have the money...

 

It will be impossible for an average joe without welding and fabricating skills but it is definitely possible, like anything, with the right tools\talent.

 

Thanx for the vote of confidence . as for the other responses I do understand that it would take much time, effort, talent, as well as a lot of cash. Just wanted to see if the swap waz possible, (my buddies and I have conversation about awkard swaps and none of us knew if it could be done or not.) especially on my car. But to you as well thank you for the responses.

 

whoa, i thought u meant the accord type r engine, very lost, lemme delete my other post...

 

You could throw a big block chevy in that cramped engine compartment. It's always possible.

 

hmm its possible...i remember reading in some magazine..i forget which but it had a EG civic hatch with a s2k motor in it...had to cut part of the firewall and lots of customizing...ended up costing over 25g's...ur money do what u want...i know if i had that id rather juss buy an s2k or a type r...good luck with that swap haha

The F20C and F22 are totally different

Im confused...good saying though

 

Just get a k20 swap in that case and get the same whp with easy boltons
After you sell the the f20 of course...

 

"The F20C and F22 are totally different "

i beleive the 2004 models of the s2k are f22's...they upgraded to a 2.2 liter...i dont think hes talkin about the prelude and accord f22..then again i could be wrong
