F20B DOHC VTEC---6th gen accord
1997cc
DOHC VTEC (blue valve cover)
200hp/7200rpm for manual tranny (SiR-T)
180hp/7200rpm for auto tranny (SiR)
145tq/6600rpm
8200rpm redline manual (SiR-T) /7800rpm for auto (SiR)
11.0:1 compression ratio
85.0mm bore x 88.0mm stroke
LSD w/ 5 speed tranny
open deck
Similar to the h22a, but destroked to be legal for the 2.0 liter and under classes in the BTCC racing series. It can be tuned to 300hp N/A with enough money, but just seeing one of these swaps is rare. Possibly used a smaller TB on the auto versions with different cams to produce the low end power in lieu of top end power. The manual engines also had F20B specific cams, different than the auto versions, but not used in any other applications. Produced in smaller numbers than the other engines, but still not impossible to find, just a bit pricier. Usually look to spend between $3000 and $3800 for this engine w/ tranny, ecu, etc.
There is also an F20B SOHC that most non-JDM accords got and it only makes 150hp but is still the performance engine for a lot of markets.
The DOHC VTEC F20B is a fun engine nevertheless and since some people are in love with revs, this would be a nice swap.......if you aren't as worried about spending more and getting less as far as hp/tq go when compared with the h22a swap. These engines are better for N/A buildups than FI in stock form, but like any engine, they can be made to fit whatever your budget will allow.
PROS: different, more along the lines of the high revving b series motors than the traditional h and f series of the USDM, designed for racing applications initially from h and f series parts, so most parts are easily located.
CONS: more expensive way to 200 crank hp than a traditional h22a swap, harder to find a package that includes an LSD tranny and even harder to find an auto swap, but other trannies will bolt on from f and h series motors, OBD II (can be converted), peakier powerband but loves to be revved, boosting one of these high compression, open decked babies should be done with EXTREME care and some good tuning.
