Make your own kit you will be much more pleased....you wanna drop a more powerful engine in it, I see...well if you also want to turbo that engine my advice is do not drop in a h22....get a engine that you dont have to sleeve....Now, if you are deciding between a h22 and a f20....it depends, the f20 is powerful and is more rev friendly, but it lacks the torque that the h22 has...it all depends on your preferences, and if you were gonna spend the extra money on the f20, i would instead get the h22 type S engine which will provide more power than the other h22's and have more torque,,,,just a figure to throw in....(4th gen prelude with a type S engine will hit 14.8-14.9 with 217 hp.....a s2000 may I add in is much lighter than a lude drops approximatley 14.8 with 250 hp..... yes that is like 33 more HP ) the numbers speak for themself. Even tho the prelude is heavier it will drop nearly the same 1/4 times as a much lighter s2000 the torque is what does it....and if u dropped the f20 in your car, it would not put out the 14.8 because accords are heavy like ludes...but once again it is your preference

“As with most high-strung motors, the S2000's engine lacks low-end grunt, so it must be revved madly at launch during acceleration testing. But even with nearly 8000 revs on the tach, our very green (345 miles) test car was unable to break a wheel loose on our grippy test surface, which partly explains our rather lackluster performance: 0 to 60 took us fully 6.8 seconds, and the quarter-mile fell in 15.1 seconds at a more impressive 96 mph.”
-Car And Driver August 1999
“There's just one asterisk to the foregoing. Because it doesn't come to life until its electronic tach hits six grand, the S2000 is extremely tricky to get out of the starting blocks in a major hurry without frying the clutch. Schroeder extracted a 5.8-second sprint to 60 mph by using methods we don't recommend unless you want to be on a first-name basis with your parts man. This car will never shine at the drag strip, but once rolling it's as eager as any other.”
-Car And Driver October 1999
“It only took the S2000 5.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, and it did the quarter mile in 14.2 at 98.1. This compares favorably to 6.3 seconds 0-60 and 14.8 seconds at 91.4 mph for the BMW, and 6.0 seconds 0-60 and 14.5 at 94.6 for the Porsche. The S2000 numbers came after launching at 8000 rpm (producing little tire spin) and shifting at 8300. On one run, we launched and shifted at 5500; the 0-60 time rose to more than 11 seconds.
