Or, keep the F20C in the S2000!

So I found an online service manual for this, and things don't look good for the block design. It will use 2 bolt mains, and I'm not totally sure yet, but it's possible it's an open deck design. So that means they probably just threw some different rods and pistons, and oil squirters in a non turbo block and called it good enough.

Thats not good :(

[FattyBoomBatty]

eh, it'll still be awesome. The thing is, the bolt patterns will probably be the same for the bellhousing. The motor mounts will most likely work from engine to engine, so a 4b11t swap (I bet) will be a pretty straight forward operation. Plus, it'll be an adventure to find the limits of the stock block!

Ghey.

[FattyBoomBatty]

aww, such pessimism. Be happy! a turbo 4 banger rwd coupe. When was the last time we had such a sweet car? (my guess is about 1982-1989, booyah!)

The Evo X motor is open deck and the 4G63s are 2 bolt mains.

[Kracka]

Isn't the Evo X 4B11T a semi-closed designed basically meaning a reinforced open deck?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I know the 4g63s are 2 bolt mains, but I thought the EvoX motor was semi-closed deck? I still plan on getting one if I like the way it drives, and I'm not too worried about the block cuz I don't plan on making a ton of power anyways.
