Boosting

[woods_EX]

Can a SOHC beat a DOHC???

 

[MORENO67]

i think so

depending on how much boost and power the single cam makes it's possible to beat a turbo B. Now if you're talking about a turbo D beating an N/A B-series then that's not a problem at all, the turbo D will stomp just about any B-series.

a d series could beat alot of setups just matters what the situations are and if its well built or not. thats my 2cents.... being a good driver helps also..

thats what i thought he was asking.. and i agree.. its also more cost effective.. swaps are nice.. but for the money.. the single cam can be worked up pretty good... what D series are we talking about here anyway..

Heck yea it can beat a b... but It depends on the car, the motor, the turbo, the psi, etc, etc, etc.

I have a vid in the vid lounge somewhere of my turbo D hatch racing a del sol with a b16 sir2 motor, lsd and other mods

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

yeah it can if you boost it right.. but thats a very open ended question

moved.

yea but more power is going to have to be given to the Sohc

wow sorry havent been on in a while... thanks for the response.... Im tired of driving around and get reved on by integras and other civics. I mean my car is bone stock D16y8 trying to figure out some good upgrades without braking the bank. Im going to get an aem cold air intake pretty soon then from there I might try to piece together a turbo kit
