DOHC or SOHC
need you help people....
I'm in the middle of building a 93 hatchback. Im stuck on the engine. I dont know what i should go with. I want to build the engine either way and do all-motor set up. But i dont know weather if i should go with a DOHC V-tec or a SOHC v-tec setup. The car is just abou finished and i still have nothing under the hood, so if you voice you opinon and why. it will be put to great use.

**edit** i spelled vtec right the 1st and i must have been thinkin about something the 2nd time i had to spell it....fuck

Re: DOHC or SOHC
It all depends on the money you are willing to spend. To be honest with you, the F22 is a great motor to build on and is single cam. Just because an engine has two cams doesn't necessarily make it the obvious choice. The F22 offers larger displacement than what you can obtain with any B series motor without increasing the stroke. Obviously that costs even more money on top of the already more expensive B series engine.

Re: DOHC or SOHC
I read somewhere that sohc's produce more torque than dohc. But can't produce the peak hp like dohc.
And it seems to correlate with what i've seen personally in honda motor's going for NA.

The twin cam motors provide more potential for power than the single cams do, period. That being said, only do what you can afford. If you can't afford a B or H series swap, then why even bother asking? If you can afford one, then do it. You'll be much happier with the results.
