ok.me and a friend of mine (jdmjunky) found a guy who had rolled his cb,and wanted to sell it.now i want to know if its worth the 800 he wants.i'm paying 400 and keith (jdmjunky) is paying 400.it has a f20a swap,GINUINE apex exhaust cat back.its the n1 style muffler.it sounded very good.headers,sri,he said it had just been rebuilt about a month ago.5 speed f22a trans,1 peice headlights,front and rear strut bars,2 racing seats w/harnesses.full coilovers not sure what brand.brembo big brake kit.so is it worth the 400 im' putting in?i'm taking the exhaust,seats,brakes,and 1 peices.





also,what are the advantages and disadvantages of the f20a over the f22a's??

I'd buy it. Definitely worth it IMO, if the description is accurate.

its accurate.we went and saw it today.so the pair of racing seats and harnesses,apex n1 cat back exhaust,big brake kits,and 1 peices are worth 400?keith is taking the f20a and the 5 speed

Exhaust and 1-pieces are worth $400 in my opinion. That's basically getting the seats, harness, and brake kit for free.

you think the brakes will clear my rims?im' on 16's and the brakes are 15's.....i'm guessing it wont

[JoshM]

You could sell them to Chris since he's on 18's.

haha true

but anyways.
do you know what the advantage of the f20a is?over the f22a?

F20A (dohc) and F20B (sohc)---4th/5th gen accord

1997cc
F20A DOHC non-VTEC--obd I/F20B SOHC non-VTEC--obd II
150hp/6100rpm
137tq/5000rpm
6400rpm redline
9.5:1 compression ratio
85.0mm bore x 88.0mm stroke
closed deck and no LSD

These motors are similar in size to the F20B DOHC VTEC motor, but that comparison stops there. While the twin cam F20B is a destroked h22a, the single cam F20B and twin cam f20a are much more similar to the USDM f22's in our accords. They were designed to make more power/torque a little lower in the powerband while remaining simple in design and modest in potential in stock form. They run higher compression pistons than do our f22's, but the single cam f20b has a head similar to 94+ USDM f22b non-vtec while the f20a has a twin cam head similar to our h23 from the preludes. These motors are usually much easier to obtain and much cheaper, but aren't much of a step up from the motors already in there.

PROS: cheap, simple, easy to find and easy to install.

CONS: when compared to an f22a6 from an accord ex, you don't see much of an improvement, not to mention that they run higher compression to make slightly more power while making less torque and being a bit harder to put boost or nitrous on.

are you sure?it was a sohc.....but it said f20a on the block?

[foamypirate]

There are both SOHC and DOHC F20As.

ohhhhhh ok.this one looked exactly like a f22a

No I'm not. I found that info in the swap forum. But, It was written by CP_Mike, who knows what he's talkin about.

haha.well idk.it looked like f22a.said f20a on the block

[deevergote]

If it looks like an F22A, then it's a SOHC. Not a race engine, but it'll have a different feel. Still a good engine.

I'd buy it. Definitely worth it IMO, if the description is accurate.

i second that
