Need a motor
 

Ok so i have to get rid of the f23 and ive been looking at my options which isnt much lol if besides the 22 if i decided to go f20 what problems would i run into ???

RE: Need a motor
 

Did you mean H22 by "22"?

Either the H22 or F20B is pretty much a direct drop in. Requires some re-wiring of the engine bay and a new ecu. Gonna need a header, one for an H22 will work for the F20B.

yea h22 well the wiring well i have a choice between the 2 i got the complete swap just need to decide between the two
im leaning towards the 22 i just dont trust the h series as much i think the f series is more reliable in the long run

RE: Need a motor
 

to make this more black and white.

Reliability: about the same

Cost: about the same (sometimes)

Economy: Who cares we're looking for power

Ease of Implementation: H22 (lots more documentation on it)

My choice: H22

RE: Need a motor
 

the h22 and f20b are for all intents and purposes pretty much the same thing, most of the bolt on parts are interchangable(header IM things like that).

the H22 does have a bigger bore, and stroke however, and makes more torque, so to me its a no brainer..........h22 hands down.

RE: Need a motor
 

F20B - better bottom end reliability. Wiring should be the same as an OBD2 H22.

I really think its wat u really want..
one hand u have a jdm f20b parts are hard to get but most parts u can get from a h22...
h22 more torque

Yea the h22 has what 10-15 more pounds of torque wow dats cool
but den resleeving the h22 n trying to work with it is a pain in da butt..

both engine's have the same compression ratio
h22 has week insides..
f20b has iron walls.
it has a better tranny short gears
same horsepower as the h22
both are vtec.

RE: Need a motor
 

Please use real english

For NA I'd go with the H22. For turbo, I'd go with the F20 and a head spacer gasket to lower the compression..

RE: Need a motor
 

I don't know much bout this topic just some...
what's a head spacer gasket and how does it work to lower compression
what else willyou need to lower compression ratio..
i.e head piston you know...

RE: Need a motor
 

The head spacer gasket just increases the volume when the piston is at TDC, lowering the compression.
