Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

            i believe the tranny came off of a 97 honda accord. i didnt have enough money to get the motor with the tranny included so im using my old one which is still good has aprox 54,xxx miles on it. the motor came from a place called Nad auto in atlanta, georgia. they only use JDM motor there(SWEEET!) str8 from japan. if u want i can give u there number. hopefully you live close by lol. Trust me once u step into that place you are gonna blow your wad soooo bad of all the motors they got there. lol

                    He came to me and said,
                    "Hard work good and hard work fine,

                      Just curious. F20A doesn't seem to improve much over our stock F22A. What's the point of swapping? Just for SOHC to DOHC?

                        i guess the main reason is because that motor acts like shit and basically has 240,xxx miles on it and the f20a has only 60,xxx miles on that. plus this one was worth $583 and the f22a were $783.

                        yeah i kinda like the sohc to dohc thing too b/c of more power.

                          The F20A revvs higher and fster then F22, the block on the F20A is smaller. From what i read the F20A motors respond well to boost over the F22 motors.

                          Ill get the F20A twin cam jus cuz its a twin Cam, as a upgrade from the SINGLE cam the twin cam is more power thru out the entire rpm range over sohc when most of its power is at mid range

                            it's not that they "respond" better, all engines respond well to boost.

                            F20's can take more of a beating due to the rod/stroke ratio.
                            Tho, even with the extra cam, I wouldn't think an f20a dohc would be much better than an f22a with h23 im/tb and some random exhaust.

                            reason being that because of the stroke and a loss in bore size. Less torque.

                            But that's just my 2 second theory. I've never really ridden in one.

                            I sure as hell wouldn't mind having one to play around with, NA or boost.

                              yes less stroke buts its a twin cam ur lookin at power thru out then entire rpm range compared to a sohc and the HP diff, sohc F20A 130 or so, F20A dohc 150-160 same as the JDM f22b and h23. ON a SOHC motor jus add some spray and ull b runnin with TWIN CAM crowd DONT get me wrong i love my F20A sohc motor but i wouldnt mind a DOHC
