So both engines put out roughly 130 hp right? Well I had planned on buying a sohc vtec for a few reasons: Seems easier to swap. Lighter than the zc with the same output....but less torque i'd imagine. Oh, and the whole vtec thing sounds great
So then, is there a better choice between the 2? I know dual overhead cams would be nice, but im set on vtec. I wanna hear some opinions before i go out & buy the d15b.

 

there is a sohc zc vtec I believe,
its similar to the d15b but its got more displacement and more hp.. but I think its in the same dseries platform.. thus its not gonna weigh anymore.
I'm guessing the dohc zc weighs more too.. I dont like that personally.

the d15b is nice, its cheap, 128hp,
and its rod/stroke ratio is awsome, it just revs sooo smoothly.

We need to start locking some of these noob threads.

 

"noob" threads? If you've got nothing positive to say then stay out of my "noob" thread. I asked for some advice.....not replies from dicks.

 

whoa killa! ^ just use the search function next time (you'll learn that quickly on HT) and check out the link i posted above

 

The point isn't that he's trying to be a dick, but this is at least the third or fourth time I've seen this question in three or four days! It gets asked WAY too frequently and a little searching is all it takes to clean up a few of these extra posts that ask the same question.
