Hey guys can you explain to me the draw you ahve to SOHC Vtec? Not that I didnt love my 98 civic EX with Vted but it wasnt all that compared to my friends DOHC vtec CRX. Why the following for SOHC vtec? Even a Stock B16 Civic SI 99-00 wasnt all that. Jsut curious what your thoughts were.

 

Maybe because the SOHC Vtec is cheaper in all ways, cheaper to boost, parts are cheaper, the motor is cheaper, etc?

 

I Rock SOHC because I'm a Cheap J*W and it's light
Not everyone is after the fastest engine
If we all were, it would be too much of the same thing.
OH WAIT that's already happening.

 

im happy with my light efficient sohc vtec...and if i ever boost it...it will **** on a DOHC

I rock SOHC cause its a simple motor to work on. Blocks can be had for free. No mounts or shiftlinkage to deal with. Its a good platform. I dont wanna go pro with my car,I just want a 300+whp daily driver. Do to my budget that is why "I" got a sohc setup.

 

I switched from a D16A6 to a B18 LS, mainly because of the aftermarket support and because I wanted to have a somewhat crazy turbo car.

But I know that the single overhead cam turbo VTEC's get pretty crazy too.

with boost? what if the same set up was on a DOHC vtec car?

 

yeh my car is boosted. Obviously if a b seires had all of the work i have he could take me. But stock b16turbos or stock ls turbos,Bring em on..............

 

Or maybe you just dont understand something simple: 300whp is 300whp SOHC or DOHC... so who cares.........

 

go with a dohc zc and boost they are real fun

1) He has a DOHC vtec, which means he has a B-SERIES, and stock&lt;--&gt;stock a b-series will kick your d-series in the nuts. You're down at least 35 hp on him.
2) You have a Civic EX (all the bells and whistles) and he has a CRX....BIG weight difference! Of course he's gonna rape you in a race! What did you expect?

Now, as to why people like the SOHC vtec engines, there are many reasons. ^^^^ Read all the responses above.
