[Night Wolf]

It's raining over here so I can post them right now

I didnt know they made after market clutch lines...

[lo-specials]

I didnt know they made after market clutch lines...

They do, only this company ruined my master cilinder so I had to replace it after all with new 6 mm metal clutch lines. And it works just fine
But still I have those lines and will put them back in later

[F20A CB7]

147 hp? its not that high

So, the only difference is the bottom end. Just 2.2 liters over 2.0 liters?


And soon with ITB's

Correct meng! Now I still can't find the rite specs for the sohc f20a, all I c is f20a dohc this and that. I think the sohc has 130 and 135 hp, and tq @ what rpm I don't no that's what I'm lookin for, cuz since we r a bit smaller @ the bottom end we can revv a bit more higher, I take her to 7grand, but I don't think that's all to good, on a f22a motor they stop makin power @ 6200 or something like that, a cam will def change that. Expect your tq to rise, I forgot but, u have head work done rite?

The F20A7 has got 147 hp. The new one has got 136 hp. Someone told me that it has got something to do with the intake manifold. Some kind of restriction on it. The Civic 1.4 has got the same problem with the intake, just change the throttle body gasket and you've got 90 hp instead of 75 hp. That's what we did with the Civic of my buddy. The 90 hp has got a bigger hole in it. But I don't know if that's the same problem with a F20A SOHC. But who cares, I'll have an ITB setup soon. Also I've heard that the SOHC can rev easily to 9k/10k rpm just with a few mods and remain for the most stock.

And yes, I've had some head work done. Ported, shaved, gasflowed. The compression is a bit higher but I want more so I'm looking for some bigger valves and off course a cam. Damn, I still have to send a mail to Bisimoto.

The new engine

F20A4 from 1998 with 110.000 km on it



And the beginning of my ITB setup, modifying the intake manifold. Cut it at the and of the runners and soon I'll weld some new ones. I stopped cutting because the grinding disc was dead and it was time for dinner.

Here are some pics of the cracked intakes:

You plan to go boost?

[lo-specials]

No boost! I'm going the classic way, NA.

[lo-specials]

Ahh what happened ther buddy.

After the paintjob was done they let her dry in the oven and then put her outside in 3 degrees Celsius. It doesn't work for polyester

I'm going to replace them or for a custom made metal hood or a CF one.

[lo-specials]

Today, I've cutted the intake a little further, because I'm going to use the spaces for the injectors on the ITB's:




And some pics of the ITB's:
