H22- Volumetric Efficiency
Found the answer. Honda engineers published an SAE paper on the F20c after the s2k's release, in which they discussed volumetric efficiency. Apparently they showed the graph of the f20c and for comparison's sake, also showed the h22.
F20c peak VE: 112%
H22 peak VE: 102% !!- This was accomplished what...almost 15 years ago!

Another quick interesting fact: at 7000rpm, the F20c has ~30% lass friction loss than the H22. This article should be a score since our engine is used as a reference point. I'm going to see if the university library has the article, otherwise I'll dl it from SAE.
Here's the link to the article that referenced all the info I posted:

For any of you interested, here are the details of the SAE paper:

Engine for the "Honda S2000" by Yutaka Otobe, Hiroshi Kawaguchi and Hideo Ueshima of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.

For those of you at a university campus, you have access to the SAE Digital Library through your school. Looking at the article right now..very detailed comparison of the F20c and H22. The way the paper is written by the Honda engineers, it's clear that the f20c is based on h22 and that the h22 is what they strived to improve of off.

^if you read last months grassroots motorsports, they give a quick summary.
if not, just type that into google/wikipedia

Most street motors run anywhere around 65-70%, performance motors run around 100%, Nascar runs 115%, drag 120-125%. Cosworth actually has a bike that runs at 145%

so I guess the h22 is pretty good at VE...

the higher the VE # the more air is in the cylinder.
100% VE means that the cylinder is 100% percent full of its air capacity
when you know what you're doing you can get a head that flows so good that when the piston reaches bottom dead center and starts to come back up the bore, air is still coming in.
Its kinda like having boost without having boost, its just the momentum of air coming in the head that will actually fill the cylinder with more air than its volume.

damn.. I'm loving the amount of GOOD threads we are having lately. there are soo many good reads/threads, I have to bookmark some to read later.. I NEED to get the SAE article. How to I get to it for free from my college? is there a thing through the website or do I need to be at school for this?
I think you can buy them online for around 15 bucks? but i'm not sure
do a search on society of automotive engineers and i think you'll find the site.

good info dude
