sohc turbo's?
whats with this..im not saying its bad, but lately ive seen a lot of ppl with dx turbo honda's...all i ask is WHY? is money an issue that you cant buy a swap?? or you want to be original?? im just curious..ive seen coupes, hatchs, 4drs..i just figure with the money you spent you couldve had a stock gsr or stock si coupe and been just as fast..

cause you can turbo a sohc with a junkyard kit for less than a grand and be faster and spent less money than doing a motor swap.......shit, a friend of ours bald head dave ran a 12.0 on a sohc dx motor with a junkyard turbo setup, a leaking headgasket and 900000 miles on the motor, they can be crazy fast man........although the average of them arent that great, they can be........

I've heard y8 and z6 turbos put down 150+ torque at around 6-9psi...9psi would be pushing it with stock internals, but you can replace those sohc's with half a paycheck anyways.

We customed out a turbo on a DX and it does ~8-10psi and he dyno'd 169hp untuned ,stock fuel ,stock block. I guess it's what ever the customer wants. The car is rated @ 97hp stock. I'm just waiting for someone to bring me a EX and let me boost that
