Honda F20C engine

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HON : Honda F20C engine

The Honda F20C and F22C engine is unrelated to the F-series found in the Honda Accord. It shares many properties with the K-series. It is the only Honda engine that is designed to sit longitudinally for rear wheel drive.

The F20C was designed with high maximum RPM in mind, for increased power output; redline is at 8900 rpm, with VTEC engagement at 6000 rpm. Power output is 240 hp ECE (176 kW) at 8300 rpm in Europe or 240 hp SAE (179 kW) at 8300 rpm in North America. The Japanese version, which has a higher compression ratio, is capable of 250 hp JIS (184 kW) at 8300 rpm. Honda's F20C Engine won a spot on Ward's 10 Best Engines List two times, in 2000 and 2001.

The engine displaces 1997 cubic centimeters, lending to the Honda S2000's name (1997 rounded to 2000). This method of naming follows suit with the rest of the Honda S-series.

The F20C's bore is 87 mm and stroke is 84 mm.

Applications:

* 2000-2003 Honda S2000 (North America)
* 2000-2005 Honda S2000 (Japan)

F22C1

The F20C was stroked (to 90.7 mm) to bring displacement to 2.2 L, originally designed for the North American market. Displacement was increased in order to increase low-end torque. Redline was reduced to 8000 rpm and power output is rated identical to the F20C, though unofficial dynamometer tests show a slight increase.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Despite the displacement increase, the car the F22C1 was mated to still retained the name of S2000. In 2006, the engine fully replaced F20 engines in the Japanese market as well, taming rumors that Honda was interested in a dual-engine option, or that the torque/redline tradeoff was only intended for the North American market.

Applications:

* 2004-2006 Honda S2000 (North America)
* 2006 Honda S2000 (Japan)
