I am looking to get a D16y8 and all the necessary internals to slap on a complete eldebrock turbo kit. Or a shipped H22a motor which I would break down and beef up to go all motor. Any input would be great. I am concerned with price, power, durability. Thanks

 

It all depends on how big your pockets are IMO if you have a job and have money go for DOHC, but you can always go SOHC turbo and stomp on some DOHC all motors but then you will get stumped by dohc turbo's.

 

DOHC > SOHC..... trust me, I know

 

WTF? You are asking this for a Honda? SOHC is made for torque and is being slowly replaced by DOHC. Being a Honda even with a possible S/C in the future SOHC will have smaller gains than DOHC and a lot less top end.

 

if it was B VS D, id say do what you want. but if its H vs D, well now, thats easy

 

Thanks guys, I suppose ill go with the h22 and just leave it stock. Do you think ill hang with most around here?

 

hmmmm....i've beaten plenty of b16 and b18 turbos with my d16 turbo. i say d16. cheap, reliable, and easier to work on than a dohc motor.

 

hi tyler!

 

ah you are forgetting about pushrod engines!

of course i don't think honda has any of those so settle for dohc i guess?

 

D16... boost it until it blows, then buy a new one.. they're cheap..
