RE: Which Engine
 

yes using the search option is easy, i found it by just observing my surroundings. "newbs" wasnt meant to be insulting, i simply meant new person, dont take it out of context. if they searched, they usually say, "ive searched but couldnt find anything". anything else seems like they didnt even try. and i will ignore future threads about redundant subjects such as this. if they dont know about the search feature, thats fine. but if they do, that's just being lazy. believe me when i say this is annoying for a forum to just accept this kind of action. i could go to any one of the 9 Honda/Accord forums i belong to and ask anyone this and they would agree with me. i don't know if you share your knowledge with more than one forum or not, but it does get old after a while.

*edit*: 9, not 7 forums.

RE: Which Engine
 

Honestly, things shouldnt be *insert scripted response here* when theres no less then 10 threads on the subject, thats why it turns to the whole use the search function. Its a situation that becomes a giant hole where no amount of intelligence will get you out.

RE: Which Engine
 

back to the subject.... i think an H22 is way better, more pieces 4 that engine and runs better and it's stronger, not to mention it's a Dohc (dual over head cam) which means better compression and more power...

RE: Which Engine
 

the F20B has DOHC too and actually has higher compression than most H22s. also a DOHC is not more powerful than a SOHC, or vice versa. different engines vary. generally DOHC has more potential for tuning and other mods, but SOHC engines can be beasts too. it all depends on what you do it and where you take it. DOHC is better for VTEC tho.

RE: Which Engine
 

the F20B for the US market was SOHC...the F20B used in the Accord SiR in foreign countries was DOHC

RE: Which Engine
 

the SOHC F20B motor was found in EDM Accords, not US. the DOHC F20B was used in the JDM 6th gen Accord SiR-t. it was originally designed to compete in the sub 2.0L class.

Semper Fi.

RE: Which Engine
 

Ok..maybe I misworded it. No US Accords ever had an F20 engine, which is true with what you said.

RE: Which Engine
 

so ive heard that alot of h22a parts are useable on the f20b though can anyone vouche for that or is it just heresay? i found a guy near me that said that for the complete h22a engine swap with the sportshift auto tranny and installation is going to run about $4200-5k, but he said that the f20b with suto tranny is going to only be like $3800 total. is this a pretty good price based upon ya'lls experience?
