The K20 is about 40lbs heavier than the F20C.

Learn something new every day

Some German company used to put the F20C in Exiges.

The K20 is better for tuning than our F20.

And the iVTEC is also a step up (would love to see that on the F20).

The iVTEC has a much more pronounced kick I feel. Intake and exhaust mods release good power from k20a, but starting with jdm is a help.

I still think the F20 sounds much better than the K20's, it's more old skool VTEC like the B series

Can't say I noticed the difference in noise really wasn't paying all that much attention to it. Martin, it's a bit of an engineering trick that you get a much bigger torque spike when switching cams on the K20 but in truth all that's happening is that Torque is nicked from another part of the curve.

If you get them remapped then they tend to smooth out the VTEC kick you get so that you get a much more linear torque curve like the S2000 which also benefits in the same way from a remap
