It is small, nimble, fast, and handles like a go-kart. Pound for pound, the Honda S is one of the most fun cars for the money. A major contributing factor to the fun of these cars is undoubtedly the engine. The S gets its name from the original displacement of the engine, a 2. The S nomenclature carries over from the iconic Honda sports cars of the s. The S, S, and S all are also named for their engine displacement. So, when developing the S, Honda decided to bring back the iconic naming scheme.
Though the engines are fairly similar, each generation of S has slightly different power outputs, fuel economy, and engine specifications. As always, when shopping for a used car, you want to know every detail you can. The F20C is perhaps most famously known for its 9, rpm rev limiter.
This makes the F20C one of the highest revving production engines ever fitted to a production car. This also keeps the heritage of its predecessors alive as the S is also atop the list of the highest revving production engines with its 9, rpm limiter.
The engine block and cylinder head of the F20C are both cast from aluminum alloy, making this engine lightweight. It is an inline four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder.
It features dual overhead camshaft construction and standard multi-port electronic fuel injection. The U. It has a compression ratio of 11 to 1. The variant of the F20C delivered to the Japanese domestic market JDM got a little more power thanks to its upped compression ratio of The JDM variant has horsepower and lb.
At the time of its release, the F20C had the most power per liter of any engine ever produced. Honda engines have a reputation for being exceeding reliable, and the F20C is no exception to this rule. When well cared for, a Honda S engine can last well into the ,mile range.
There are a few examples of Ss with over , miles, as well. However, it does crossover with its predecessors in terms of fuel economy. While the F20C is undoubtedly a performance-oriented engine, it does surprisingly well on the EPA fuel economy charts.
When considering the performance nature of this engine and the car as a whole, however, it is very impressive. However, all good things must come to an end. While the F20C went out of production with the AP1 generation S, its replacement is equally exciting and impressive. The Honda S was the first model year of the AP2 generation. While the outside look of the S remains fairly similar, the biggest differences are underneath.
Perhaps the most notable difference is the use of the F22C1 engine instead of the F20C. While this is still remarkably high compared to most production vehicles, some S fans were disappointed with the lower rev limiter. The reduction comes as an answer to a critical response stating that the AP1 S had lackluster low-end torque performance. Increasing the displacement allowed an expansion of the torque band. Thus, producing more low-end torque and performance.
Like the F20C, the F22C1 is constructed entirely of aluminum and features standard dual overhead camshaft construction with multi-port electronic fuel injection. It is effectively the same inline four-cylinder engine as the F20C with an increased stroke length to As a result, the F22C1 has a peak power output of horsepower and lb.
