Turbo H23 VTEC vs N/A F20B

[Joey GT-R]

Taxes have come back and it looks like I can forego the head swap to a full one. Like most I don't plan on 2 swaps in a short period of time so these are my options. As we all know the H23 VTEC has the lower compression block that's great for boost with the advantage of the DOHC VTEC head and then the high-rev F20B has the 11.0 compression that probably wouldnt take much more to get in the 12s to turn it into an N/A beast(I was kinda thinkin along bisi's lines except ALOT less advanced). Which one has the more appeal/promise? I'm perfectly fine with either so I'm hoping for maybe those "extra tidbits" that might swing me to a decision.

F20B N/A FaSure! N/A All The Way!! I'm pondering goin N/A on my jdm f22b dohc. Good Luck

Why NA F20B? Why not bigger?

[nostringz]

depends

what tranny do you have?
turbo for automatic
all motor for manual

doesn't the h22a have the best of both of those options?

Why NA F20B? Why not bigger?

Well it's not a bad motor, a lil bit less tourqe than the H22, and you can get one for considerably less cost than a H22.

i always was under the impression that F20B VTEC's cost more than H22's...

[cb7rolln]

that's what i thought too. where are they cheaper (website)???

are those new jdm headlamps? or have you always had them?

if F20B has vtec... see i thought the f20b was the same as f22b...

$1300. without the t2t4 LSD tranny which has the most favorable gear ratios out of other choices...h22, h23 vtec...

good luck man, i say f20b just to be a lil different than others.

[quakerjoe]

i would say h23 vtec w/boost... your TQ curve would be unbeatable... the only problem with going that way is if you have a manual or want to go manual youll have to find yourself a manual tranny such as h22 or something cause the h23 vtec only came in a accord wagon with auto tranny...

[starkrice]

All im going to say is that if u have the cash then go all motor with the "F" if u dont.! Then dont get ur self in a messs

[blizzard335]

H23 VTEC ftw! boost or no boost, either way is THE way...

H23A > F20B, tho u shud get a nice gearbox to match that H23, coz they only come in tippy form..

[almostJDM]

id say go either h23 vtec or f20b casue ther both unique engines

[NAiL05]

h23 vtec...rare...and tq > anything. h23 would be a good motor for all motor build also.
