DOHC non v tec vs SOHC v tec
 

Just wanted to get some opinions on this. Does anyone know which is the better of the two?

dohc non vtec

DOHC vtec :D

but really there is no clear "winner" here

both can be good motors, depends what your plans are

GOtta love the V Tec.

well stock a b18B is better then any d16z6 or y8.... displacement plays into that though.... technically if you bored or stroked a d16 to 1.8L it would probably make more hp and possibly torque

I like the high RPM redlines of the VTEC engines, what do the non VTEC DOHC motors redline at? I had a 5.0 stang b4 my Si and I fell in love with shifting a 7200 RPM!!!

depend's on the engine

high rev = no torque
id go with a DOHC non v-tec myself

b18b around 6800 but fuel cut is higher, d16z6 i think fuelcut is 7200 redline is 6900 or 7000

get a b16, 8200 y0!! lol

check out this thread, good info from bruno

SOHC in my opinion...

F22 accord engine has mad torque....

d16z6 fuel cut off is 7500... i'd probably take a b20 cause of the low end of all power....

not bad but nobody ever talks about a d15 b1

I'd say DOHC non of SOHC vtec, i've always thought that 2 cam shafts are better then one!

DOHC non vtec. sweet boosting engine, can take lots of spray.. even in stock form hands down over a sohc vtec.

LOL your sig kiks ass, i just made it my msn messenger quote of the day.. any copyrights that i may be infringing on?:p :D

B20 happily revs to 7200 RPM, that were the fuel cut of is set on my hyperduck ecu

DOHC non-VTEC gets my vote

DOHC non VTEC

2 cams are better than 1

I didnt think this thread was going to get as much attention as it has haha. Awesome! Oh and BoOsTZeX, thats not copywritten. lol happy to make some peeps smile and laugh. :thumbup:

ok to clear things up....

I vouch for the DOHC non VTEC... why u ask... b/c u cant compare the D series stock on stock against the Bseries non vtec...

though HP is only what 13HP difference... there is no competetion whereas, the B18 is more competitive with the B16

so in actuality the D series Sohc vtec is not even worth comparing the 2 motors.

the Dohc non vtec has alot of potential... and so does the D series VTEC.

but stock on stock... DOHC non VTEC will smoke it by a long shot...
booooo to 7200RPM..... TORQUE is what wins races!
