Ok guys, I am thinking of starting a new project. Chassis will be a 99-00 civic coupe. As for the engine, I have not made up my mind on anything yet. B-series, H-series, F20B, K-series.... All have ups and downs. My budget on the engine should be about $4k. I like the B-series engines and H series engines, but for some reason I am not very fond of the K-Series... I guess I'm too old school for i-VTEC. Also I am MUCH more familiar with the B/H series. I have always wanted to swap a JDM accord SiR-T F20B (200HP, 142tq, 7450rpm redline, 1997 cc) into a civic chassis. It is about the same price as the H22A and has some advantages over the H22A. One being that it has steel sleeves, not FRM. Another is that the head is almost the exact same as the JDM H22A type S engine. Also it has a 88mm stroke (90.7mm in a H22A), which means it has high rev capabilities. It has a 85mm bore (H22A has 87mm). Together, these measurements allow the engine to rev higher while having the same piston speed as a H22A. At about 7400rpm the F20B pistons are travelling as fast as a H22A at 8000 rpm. It doesnt sound like a lot but the cylinders will wear less at the same rpm as a H22A. I have seen these engines pull 9k rpm in stock form with different valvesprings all day long. I know these same specs are possible (and probably easier) with a B-series, but everybody has a B-Series these days, and my big plan is to do something that you don't see a lot. I have done the H22A thing a few times. I like it, but the piston rings are shit. Let me know what you guys think.
