SOHC or DOHC

[ebaydmej1]

it's a nice shell to work with

What's you plans as far as the engine goes? Keeping the D or upgrading to a B. My suggestion is to at least get a B18A out of a 2nd Gen DA Integra. 140hp in that light hatchback and that thing would scoot.

My experience has been that no matter how built a N/A SOHC D engine is, it is no match for a B series.

I beg to differ... People who know my car, know it competes for only having I/H/E. People I have beaten, LS DC2 with I/H/E, LS DA with I/H/E, B16 EM1 with an LS tranny, and I/E, lots of D's with mods or not, I did manage to beat Brandon's hatch until he got it dyno tuned, then it was alot closer race until the end of 4th when he took me by about a car/car and a half. I only got beat by a car and half by an LS CRX with I/H/E. Which was the sketchiest race I've done... I'm not saying the D series is better, because its not, but for the money I have into my car's engine, I couldn't be happier.

[Brian]

dont get me wrong I love the D's

I just don't understand people that dump thousands of dollars on a D when you can get a B swap for cheaper.

My buddy spent ALLOT of money on building a all motor D16Y8. Got it all done and dyno'd. 130 whp.

why do that when you can get a B18A/B swap for less than a grand and it will have 140hp and allot more torque than that D.

[Spensman]

id rather have vtec then a ls could be just me, i think you could do more to a sohc vtec then a ls

[Brian]

id rather have a DOHC that makes 140hp than a SOHC VTEC engine that makes 125hp.

The B vs. D argument could go on forever though. It's all about personal preference.

you also have to way the cost

[Brian]

exactly. That is why a DOHC B is the best money for HP. By the time you get a SOHC D16Z6 up to 140hp, you would of spent allot more than doing a B18A swap.

[sr20kid]

B18 Swap FTW. SOHC= waste of cash. Just my $.02 Props on the swap though man.

[aust ek coupe]

im gonna have to go with the sohc vtec! your gonna spend alot more money with dohc!!

[Milanored92hatch]

i back ebayjdm cause i love my single cams i got 130 whp na inmy hatch with bolt ons and a tune and a few other upgrades. my ek should be close to 200whp on 7lbs. ive walked quite a few cars with b series ill race any ls with i/h/e or more. theres pros to both but when u race someone and they come up and ask what is that a b18 gsr or ls i proudly say no its a single and love the look on their face.

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah that would be a great feeling

[Spensman]

singles are just badass

[Backwoodz Tuner]

But have you owned a DOHC motor?

[Spensman]

But have you owned a DOHC motor?

no i cant say that i have but if i had to chose between a ls and a sohc vtec id chose the sohc vtec but say a dohc vtec id probaly have to take that over a sohc right now

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah an LS ain't too much. To brag about but say a B-series SI or GSR or even a type-r are a whole lot different. I love my B18C1

[Spensman]

Yeah an LS ain't too much. To brag about but say a B-series SI or GSR or even a type-r are a whole lot different. I love my B18C1

i think im gonna have to start a thread about this

[Spensman]

ok for all thats been posting on my members ride lol here you go so quit filling up my other thread lol

[Backwoodz Tuner]

DOHC FTW !! And sorry for fillin ur thread.

[Spensman]

lol its no big deal, sohc vtecs or better the ls's just my opinion

[Nate]

DOHC FTW !! And sorry for fillin ur thread.

Im with him...

[Backwoodz Tuner]

LS aren't much out the factory, but there good for boosting, LS\VTEC's , filling with laughing gas. They got potential.

[Milanored92hatch]

sry bro just filled some more

[Milanored92hatch]

oh they got potential but dont they all? is this potential??? YouTube - SPEEDFACTORY Tuning's 10 Second Turbo Single Cam Eg

not bad from a 125 crank hp starter motor with shit for torque?

[Spensman]

lol i was like how long is it gonna take milanored to catch on i made a thread its ok dont worry about it

[Spensman]

i love my single cams i got 130 whp na inmy hatch with bolt ons and a tune and a few other upgrades. my ek should be close to 200whp on 7lbs. ive walked quite a few cars with b series ill race any ls with i/h/e or more. theres pros to both but when u race someone and they come up and ask what is that a b18 gsr or ls i proudly say no its a single and love the look on their face.

If I weren't usin my phone to post I'd throw in some you tube vids too.

[Milanored92hatch]

ya i know im just given ya a hard time lol its all good bro theres alot of fast dohc's too just alot more than sohc

I also love the gasmileage of the sohc way better and the price to replace if it breaks WAY CHEAPER

[Backwoodz Tuner]

But I gurantee if you threw a GSR in your EK you would stomp a lot more fools. The power to weight ratios from a Integra to a civic EK is like 5 600 lbs. Also the driver has a lot to do with it too. If homie don't know how to drive a Vtec motor then the race has all reaedy been lost .

i think thats true my brothers car i think he just a good driver or somebodys giving me wrong info, somebody was telling me zc is a 1.5 and hes beeten i think 2 y7 intake headers and exhaust and also intake headers

[Spensman]

somebody has already started a thread like this lol

[sr20kid]

Factory Turbo DOHC FTMFW!!! SR20DET

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y188/lilzaneboy69/The%20SR20/S4010014.jpg

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah it depends on the driver, also there's other factors such as bald tires, poor suspension. Intake header exhaust ain't shit but really noise, that equals to like what? 10-15 hp at most.

[Milanored92hatch]

ya but it just got deleted, ya my buddy can drive we switched cars and when he drove my car and i drove his and raced agin he still pulled and i was on it hard

[Spensman]

Yeah it depends on the driver, also there's other factors such as bald tires, poor suspension. Intake header exhaust ain't shit but really noise, that equals to like what? 10-15 hp at most.

ya also tho shouldnt a 1.6 have more horsepower then a 1.5, also with a lighter car with the 1.6

[Milanored92hatch]

i aint got much more in my single hes got to be atleast 160 whp and im 130??? whats a stock gsr whp and then mabey + 10 hp like u said

[Milanored92hatch]

y7's are slow but not necessarily cause the d15 b vtec rips

[Backwoodz Tuner]

But is the GSR in an Integra?

[Spensman]

the 1.5 zc isnt a vtec tho

[Milanored92hatch]

ya but they make a 1.6 zc vtec my motor and a 1.5 zc non vtec that are still quick and then the d15 b vtec


yes gsr in the gsr and i know the wait is diff but shouldnt the extra hp compensate? power to weight ratio?

[Brian]

this is going to go on forever.

Stock vs. Stock DOHC stomps a SOHC......Period!

[erik]

Its more complicated then that, you could look at it in the notion of Power to Weight ratio.

Might be too complicated for some.

[Backwoodz Tuner]

this is going to go on forever.

Stock vs. Stock DOHC stomps a SOHC......Period!

I was waiting for your input on this subject Brian. I figured you'd agree with me!

[Milanored92hatch]

Its more complicated then that, you could look at it in the notion of Power to Weight ratio.

Might be too complicated for some.


i know the answer i wanted to see what his response was lol

[Brian]

a B long block only weighs 4 more pounds than a D long block

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah like I was sayin earlier power to weight ratio plays a big part with Hondas.

[Milanored92hatch]

this is going to go on forever.

Stock vs. Stock DOHC stomps a SOHC......Period!

90% right stock ls vs stock si eg hatch ill take the hatch

i dont hate dohc's i just love all the benefits of the sohc and the props when u win

[gustav129]

id rather have a DOHC that makes 140hp than a SOHC VTEC engine that makes 125hp.

The B vs. D argument could go on forever though. It's all about personal preference.

Man, good thing Kenny isn't here.....

[Milanored92hatch]

haha brian very nice lol but ya my car is lighter than his dc but if i asked a honda guy who should win given the numbers they will take the teg everyday but it didnt pan out lol

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Man, good thing Kenny isn't here.....

Kenny is Enigma or whatever?

[Brian]

Man, good thing Kenny isn't here.....

:lol:

There is so many variables when racing besides the engine. All i know is that after owning a mildly built Civic EX with a D16Z6 and a DA with a B18A1 in it, I will never own another Honda SOHC

[Milanored92hatch]

ya whos kenny

[Brian]

Kenny is Enigma or whatever?
....yessir

[Milanored92hatch]

ya brian u are right its preference

[Brian]

ya whos kenny

mutual friend of Russ (Gustav) and I

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah a DOHC for power and performance ride and a SOHC for a DD.

[Backwoodz Tuner]

....yessir

Yeah that's what I thought, he is pretty knowledgeable with the SOHC. But I thought I runs a GSR in his Civic now?

[Milanored92hatch]

Yeah a DOHC for power and performance ride and a SOHC for a DD.

Ya same concept but i daily my eg sohc and performance my ek with the turbod built y8

[Brian]

Yeah that's what I thought, he is pretty knowledgeable with the SOHC. But I thought I runs a GSR in his Civic now?

nope he has a B16A

[Milanored92hatch]

so anyone beside mike and grant doin builds?

[aust ek coupe]

im with the sohc! you pay less and you can dump more into it! with the dohc you pay more and cant dump much into it!

[Brian]

im with the sohc! you pay less and you can dump more into it! with the dohc you pay more and cant dump much into it!

so what can you do to a SOHC that you can't do to a DOHC...i'm interested

[Milanored92hatch]

i think hes talking purchase price and then having money more money to dump into it the sohc then the dohc

[gotrice93]

i love my d15. but i would like a b18

[aust ek coupe]

i think hes talking purchase price and then having money more money to dump into it the sohc then the dohc

yes brandon thank! sohc are less expensive to purchase the sohc! I think sohc are over rated!

[Brian]

BTW

I'm not arguing with anyone because it is all about personal preference. I'm just giving my opinion. Everyone is going to think different.

This has been a conversation since the beginning of time.

Every forum is going to a SOHC vs. DOHC conversation. Might as well get it over :lol:

[Milanored92hatch]

sohc or dohc overrated?

i fully agree but it so fun lol

[aust ek coupe]

i have a zc sohc non vtec and im surpised how many cars ive beaten! you just get more out of beaten someone with a sohc then dohc! dohc you have all this power so to say!

[aust ek coupe]

dohc overrated im with you brandon

[Brian]

i just don't want anyone to get offended or something. We are all friends.

Don't forget that the Internet is Serious Business!! :lol:

[gotrice93]

yeah. im really like me d15 but it makes it look small in my engine bay. i like how a dohc fills the engine bay

[aust ek coupe]

i just don't want anyone to get offended or something. We are all friends.

lol lmao you know these days

[Milanored92hatch]

k its all preference in the end we all love our hondas lol

[aust ek coupe]

yeah. im really like me d15 but it makes it look small in my engine bay. i like how a dohc fills the engine bay

alot more weight! i have nothing in my engine bay and i love it!

[aust ek coupe]

from my presonal preference you get alot more excitment beating a dohc with sohc!

[Brian]

i absolutely love Honda's.

I drive a BMW, but nothing is better than a Honda

[gotrice93]

[aust ek coupe]

down the road i do want a bemmer killing! h22! no offense brain but i think bmw are overrated

[aust ek coupe]

one of my friend traded his wrx in for bmw 4 door! and im sure hes gonna be making car payments for the rest of his life

[Brian]

down the road i do want a bemmer killing! h22! no offense brain but i think bmw are overrated

it's more about comfort than performance. Although, it doesn't do to bad in the performance area.

I'll run you one of these days. You'll most likely beat me :)

[aust ek coupe]

i dont have a h22 yet! it wont be for awhile

[Brian]

I told Jon (i think that's 92 EX Ninja's name) that once he puts the H22 in his Accord we will have a 4-door 200hp race

[aust ek coupe]

im poor as hell right now! probably gonna swap in a d16z6 here pretty soon and move up from that!

[aust ek coupe]

brain what kind of honda do you got?

[Brian]

none no more. I was talking about my BMW.

If you check my pictures, you can see some of my past Honda's

[gotrice93]

my friend has an oldsmobile aurora. that thing is so comfortable but with its v-8 its got about 350 hp and 375 ft lbs of torgue and the scary part he gets 30 mpg on the highway at 75

[aust ek coupe]

ahh! i see

[ebaydmej1]

Definately SOHC is the funner way to go, like Austin said, there's nothing like beating a DOHC with single slammer!... Although, if all goes as planned, I will be H22T by summer.

we can go on and on about this all day but it all comes down to personal prefernce

[Backwoodz Tuner]

i know i just like BSing with you bout it , it's all goood!

[aust ek coupe]

i know i just like BSing with you bout it , it's all goood!

lol lmao i hear you there! i like dohc but sohc are just a good too! people give them to much credit!

[Backwoodz Tuner]

They do, that's why the price for em are ridiculous these days. And finding good deals on SOHC motors are getting easier to find.

[aust ek coupe]

yup!!!!!!! thats why im getting a sohc and just the fact you get a good feeling beating a dohc with you have a sohc! there nothing like it

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yup i feel yeah there, that's the same feeling i get when i eat up a
V6 or V8 , PRICELESS!! i love the look on dudes face when they get there ass handed to em. it's great!

[aust ek coupe]

down the road i want a bemmer killer! h22 those car are overrated too! people give them to much credit!

[Brian]

speaking of Honda DOHC engines. I may be thinking about trading my BMW for a Integra GSR

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah when i get my motor complete and swaped in i want to be able to eat up EVO's and WRX's, well thats my plan

[Backwoodz Tuner]

i want that also! that would be pretty sick

[sr20kid]

I know i'm gonna get picked off like a dead rabbit in a pack of vultures but Ive owned 2 hondas in my life and now own a nissan. I owned a 99 accord coupe V6 and a 93 eg hatch with a d16 and let me say I liked my honda's but i will never go back to one. Nissans are the way to go!!!

[Backwoodz Tuner]

[Milanored92hatch]

how about both? honda and a nissan? i havent had a nissan yet but want to get sideways soon and i cant afford a s2k for rwd

[Backwoodz Tuner]

If I had a choice for a RWD Honda it would def be a NSX over a S2K. IMO

[Milanored92hatch]

oh ya but ill never afford that lol

[Backwoodz Tuner]

There comin down on price. I was readin in a few issues back of Car and Driver and they had an article of the top 25000 dollar sports cars and the NSX was one of them. So I did a little research on pricing on em and seen a few on e bay around the 25 30 G area. And that's around the same price as a S2K

[djo90]

I beg to differ... People who know my car, know it competes for only having I/H/E.

I'm not saying the D series is better, because its not, but for the money I have into my car's engine, I couldn't be happier.

I loved the JDM b18B in my old 91 integra and don't know much about the D-series

[TiMoN]

...built sohc d-series with low comp' and a turbo... those are very fast

[Backwoodz Tuner]

But a built DOHC motor boosted is a beast. How many Pro drag racers that are hittin 8's and 9's roll a SOHC motor?? NONE! Why are SOHC motors so cheap and pretty easy to find , cause most peeps are swappin em out for a Killer B. DOHC FTW!

[aust ek coupe]

SOHC all the way!!

[sr20kid]

Wow this could go on forever. We all know that if we take 2 cars and they weigh the same. Have the same mods and drivers are about the same and the only difference is DOHC and SOHC. Both motors are about the same size, compression, etc. The DOHC will win hands down every time. Period

the low comp in most of the sohc makes them baller for turbo builds..
and here is the spice for my post

Now that's some spice but I don't get it, u seem to claim the SOHC crew and she's clearly rockin a DUAL!! LOL think if she sported a single , it would then be considered a tumor!

[slice636]

You dont have to spend alot on my d16z6 when it was stock internals and head pushed 330hp and 300tq on 22pounds. Now im building.

Its a matter of preffence. I could have dropped a K20 into my civic cause I have the money for it, but some people like to be different

dont get me wrong I love the D's

I just don't understand people that dump thousands of dollars on a D when you can get a B swap for cheaper.

My buddy spent ALLOT of money on building a all motor D16Y8. Got it all done and dyno'd. 130 whp.

why do that when you can get a B18A/B swap for less than a grand and it will have 140hp and allot more torque than that D.

[Brian]

how much PSI you can push on stock eternals is more about the tune than the parts. You can build a car too the max and be pushing 10 PSI and still blow it. Buddy has a stock B18C and has been pushing 20 PSI for about 3 years now.

[Backwoodz Tuner]

I seen a LS motor just last night for 400. And a GSR for a G

[drivnovrdaedge]

what BMW do you have?

I own an e30

Wait till the new NSX comes out. The article I saw said it would be AWD 580hp N/A to compete with the GTR

[Brian]

Honda discontinued the NSX project.

On December 17, 2008, Fukui announced during a speech about Honda's revised financial forecast that, due to poor economic conditions, all plans for a next-generation NSX have been canceled.

Ok here's the facts about Where the name Honda came from and the honda emblem . The Honda is the last name of Soichiro Honda founder.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/backwoodz_tuner/honda_s800_emblem_1.jpg

Honda S800 emblem. The S800 was a sports car from Honda. Introduced at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show, the S800 would replace the successful Honda S600 as the company's image car, available as either a coupe or roadster.



And as time progressed it evolved to what it is today.

Acura emblem
Horizontal Acura logo. Acura launched for 1986 without a logo and the "calipers" didn't appear until the NSX launched as a 1991 model.



Short History lesson


Soichiro Honda began by manufacturing piston rings in November 1937. He quickly became a sub-contractor to Toyota. Honda then expanded into other engine parts and even airscrews.

Honda began producing road cars in 1960, mostly intended for the Japanese market. Though participating in international motorsport (see Racing), Honda was having difficulty selling its automobiles in the United States. Built for Japanese buyers, Honda's small cars had failed to gain the interest of American buyers.

Honda was also the first Japanese automaker to introduce a separate luxury line of vehicles. Created in 1986 and known as Acura, the line is made up of modified versions of Honda vehicles usually with more power and sportiness than their Honda counterparts.

In a move that was set to revolutionalize the way carmakers tuned their engines1989, Honda launched its VTEC variable valve timing system in its car engines, which gave improved efficiency and performance across a broader range of engine speeds. One of the first of its kind in passenger vehicles, it worked on the premise of tuning one engine to operate at two different 'settings' depending on speed. Low-speed driving would use a "shorter" cam lobe that resulted in more power and torque low down, but then a more aggressive "longer" cam during high-speeds for continued acceleration. The result was that the driver had the 'best of both worlds', and many automakers today have introduced their own versions of variable valve timing. The technology is now standard across the whole Honda range.


WHY HONDAS ARE So POPULAR

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and scooters. They also make ATVs, water craft, electrical generators, marine engines, and lawn and garden equipment. With more than 14 million internal combustion engines built each year, Honda is the largest engine-maker in the world. In 2004, the company began to produce diesel motors, which were both very quiet whilst not requiring particulate filters to pass pollution standards. Honda's high-end line of cars are branded Acura in North America. Many Japanese automakers have well-earned reputations for dependability and longevity, with production being well quality-controlled. Honda automobiles have developed something of a cult status in terms of reliability, even above other Japanese brands, with many owners never having any major problems for the vehicle's life
