F20 DOHC VTEC Engine Build

[djcaz_aom]

Okay I will be documenting my build. I decided to go with this build since the parts fell into my lap.

**THREAD RULES**

Keep your negative comments to yourself.
I don't care to hear about how unreliable this build will be. (It's my build)
I don't care to hear about why not buy an H22? (I have one)

With that said, here it goes.

What I have:

JDM F20A block
H22A1 Head

Plans:

Low comp pistons
Forged rods
Sleeves
MASSIVE BOOST!!!
Cams

I will post post pics of the progress and of everything needed to be done to make this work correctly.

Sir! i would fucking love to see the outcome of this. Like this is awesome. I'm honestly taken aback, i have butterflies in ma tummy. Just one question, which in my mind i figured as much would be an answer in itself, but i just want to know, nothing more. The H22A1 head, you had already had it acquired from before?

Then decide to go all..I'm mad doctor/scientist MWUAHAHAHAHA!!

Well. Props to you sir, i honestly will be watching this. AS IN! To see the outcome of this should be different. And as what is to be expect as well. The feel, performance etc. I'm excited.. I'm guessing its goin to be like a Detuned F20B (just a guess! nothing more. well i dont know). I feel like a little girl.

EDIT! After reading the OP's post again, i realized he's going straight into boost. Personally, I would i have loved to see it in N/A form first before it went into Boost, oh well. I still want to this anyway!

damn you, as if your not already quick enough!! you just moved, you gotta get the house in order first,especially your garage! but seriously, that sounds awesome & I have no doubts that you'll accomplish it! good luck with the build,cant wait to see it! I wish i had more time to hang around to see it happening! (if something comes up & you cant do it, I heard the f22b1 is great for boosting,hint hint) seriously, all the best to you!

Yeah, I paid 50 bucks for the complete head from a running motor. I already had the block in mind for another build.

I want to do this because most say it won't work right or be reliable. I want to see for myself. No one can say that the block wasn't meant to rev high, so there you have it.

A few pics:


The proof.




Nice.


The ports that don't line up to be addressed first:

Intake side.


Exhaust side.


More to come...

I will keep you posted!!! That particular block is going to be a high compression beast(F22B1)

I will be running the motor N/A for a little while until I have the turbo pieced together and a dyno tuning scheduled.

Fast enough? What does that mean? 700HP or bust!!!!

[87awwhelznaww92]

nice pics...and are you serious about the 700 hp,and thats for the wagon!?dood..i would love to see that dyno sheet ...if wagons were only rwd...

Very serious. I aim high and even if I fall a little shy, that will be a feat on its own.

Im glad to see someone actually doing the swap, not just going " HAI GUIZE HOW TO I MAKE MAH ENGINE HAD VTECS!!!! "

Your pretty much like " Yep im doing the swap so sit down, shut the fuck up and watch "

PS: i love the 9091 bumper on your wagon.

Thats very intresting. Oh, Let me tell you. Rev happy in the sense, its alot more rev happy than a F22a, yea sure. I guess because i'm used to having a F20a i can't really tell the difference that much. Also because i'm used to driving different cars whether its my mother, brother, friends, uncle. So when i sit back in my car it's like this "Ugh, back in this old trusty gem..still love you though!". So i would say it is rev happy but not revvy as person make it out to be. Hitting redline is easy i'll give you that. It's no problem to see the tach wanting to fly to and pass 5000 in NO TIME, seriously. Sometimes when i'm driving a little spirited, i wonder since when did the need reach there.
