The Honda F20C engine is a high-performance, naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine that was designed and manufactured by Honda Motor Company. This engine was first introduced in the 1999 Honda S2000 sports car and was later used in other Honda vehicles such as the Honda Integra Type R and the Honda Stream.
The F20C engine is a DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft) engine with a displacement of 2.0 liters. It has a square bore and stroke of 87mm x 84mm, which gives it a high-revving nature and a maximum engine speed of 9,000 RPM. The engine uses Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system, which provides increased power and torque at high RPMs while maintaining good fuel efficiency at lower RPMs.
One of the most notable features of the F20C engine is its high power output. In its original form, the engine produced 240 horsepower at 8,300 RPM and 153 lb-ft of torque at 7,500 RPM. This power output was achieved through a combination of factors, including the high-revving nature of the engine, the VTEC system, and the use of lightweight components.
The F20C engine is also known for its durability and reliability. The engine block is made of cast iron, which provides strength and durability, while the cylinder head is made of aluminum to reduce weight. The engine also features forged aluminum pistons, which are stronger and more durable than traditional cast pistons.
To help manage the high temperatures generated by the engine, the F20C engine uses an advanced cooling system. The engine features a dual-stage thermostat that allows for quicker warm-up times and more precise temperature control. The engine also uses an oil jet system to cool the pistons, which helps to prevent overheating and engine damage.
In addition to its high performance and durability, the F20C engine is also known for its smooth and responsive power delivery. The engine has a very linear power curve, which makes it easy to drive and provides good throttle response at all RPMs.
The Honda F20C engine is an impressive piece of engineering that combines high performance, durability, and reliability into a single package. Its high-revving nature, VTEC system, and lightweight components make it a favorite among car enthusiasts and racing enthusiasts alike. If you're looking for a high-performance, naturally aspirated engine that can deliver impressive power and reliability, the F20C engine is definitely worth considering.
