I've heard that I can just strip a 97-01 Prelude and use the manifold , harnesses and sensors from that but I'd prefer to make my own harnesses with only the essentials.

Update. Lost interest in my Del Sol project when I bought my 2013 Ford Focus ST since it's a great little car. Then I participated in an autoX event and I'm motivated to finish the Del Sol F20B swap again. I lost interest in 2012 when I ran into trouble getting my hands on a service manual...

yes, their on Facebook. So put a link to the album?

Your intake valves must be okay if unmetered air is allowing the vehicle to rev up higher. I would say the problem lies between your throttle body and the intake valves of the head. You could have clogged vacuum lines anywhere near the intake plenum.

Engine management sensors are 5v. If you removed a vacuum line and your car ran better it's because you're letting un-metered air into the engine. I would say disassemble your intake manifold and clean everything. Pay extra attention to your fast idle valve or idle air control valve. It's...

I purchased an F20B swap for my 2000 Accord in March. I use my Accord to get to and from work. I wasn't confident that I could complete the swap in a weekend and I really need to go to work. After doing some research about the F20B I decided to clean the cob webs off of the 1993 Del Sol I...

By the way HiRevinSpoon, thanks. I appreciate the info.

Got the motor and trans, found the right shift linkage, to the bone yard.

I could still change the cam to a more aggressive cam and upgrade the valve springs to dual valve springs and titanium keepers. The valve train stuff is available and not hard to change. I think I'll leave it alone for now because all I want is to get a few more years out of my car, I commute...

I hear that. I did some research about the motor since I posted this article some time ago. I was hoping that the bore and stroke were the same, unfortunately the f20b and f20c are very different. f20b: Bore: 85.0 mm Stroke: 88.0 mm Displacement: 1997 cc Torque: 145 lb·ft (197 N·m) @ 5500...

The quote above was my original question. I have no intention of trying to mate an F20C to my FWD Accord. LMAO

From what I see they took the bare short block of the F20B and bolted a RWD trans to it, sealed the timing cover and completely changed the head.

This is a little more like what I'm looking for. I've taken the head off of an F20C before when I worked at the Honda dealer. I'm aware that it has a timing chain, and when I was looking for info online I noticed that the oil filter was on the same side as the exhaust manifold which is exactly...

I've converted an auto to a manual before, it was a 79 Camaro but the idea is the same. The biggest problem we had was figuring out where to mount the clutch pedal. If anyone knows where to get a cheap h23 or h22 swap send me the link please. Most of the swaps I found were in excess of $2500

I wanted to go H22 swap but it's much more expensive than an F20B swap. I know that an S2000 is RWD but the block is stamped F20C which means the block is the same but it's mounted as RWD so the only difference should be the motor mount brackets. What I'm referring to is the difference...

This makes A LOT of sense, more fluid volume = better pedal.

er... SiR t Accord swap...

PS this is going to happen soon weather or not I like it. I got that Accord with 165,000 miles on it... Original trans too (I flushed it every 30k) With me behind the wheel I'd say it's got about 5-10k miles left on it before it's slipping like crazy.

Hello. I'm a former Honda mechanic, I work on the other end of the business now writing collision estimates. It was time to hang the wrenches up and I wanted to learn how to do body work to make myself a well rounded car guy. ;) I own a 2001 Accord EX-L with a SOHC F23 mated to an auto...

This works on some Honda radios, not all. I don't remember which ones. I quit fixing Honda's in 2006.
