Is it possible to get some real hp out of a SOHC motor... and if yes what would you do...?

stock motor you can get 220-230 out of the VTEC engines

Non Vtec 180-200 is more realistic

they are fun cars if you do the turbo kit right an keep the turbo small!

Don't you drive an accord? Whats "real hp"?

Boosted f22 will net you more power than a d.

F is stronger then d. What Mike said about the motors on power in a d series is a lil high. 220 to 230 damn. That shit will blow up!

why do so many people underestimate the D series? look on other sites and they make 300+ all day with built bottom ends and stock heads.

thats about all u need for a fast driveable daily

Not a completely true statement. i know of d17's that have over 300whp for atleast a year. Granted they are built, but they are still d series.

Gaining 350+ whp in a D17 EM2 would cost upwards of $10,000 or more w/ no sponsor hookups and having a shop do all of the work.

I knew a dude that made 280whp on a stock block and head....blew it to hell when the boost upped itself..Lol. Shit was pretty funny...he'd doing it again too....stock internals, only with a d16z6 this time. Before it was a Mini Me

See thats the whole thing... i don't have time to bore the motor out or replace any critical parts for that matter... turbo or supercharger???
Whats the max psi would i be looking at anyhow... and no, im not expecting 20 ... maybe 13-15... sounds real or what?

You should be more concerned in mow much power you are going to make rather than how many psi your turbo is going to be pushing.

You should do some more research before you boost your motor. Or just take it to a shop who knows what they are doing.

This would be a great stock block street setup..


im the guy cd5 jeebies was talkin about with the t 3/4 on the accord. Its a t3/04e 48/60 with stage 3 57 trim wheel.

The 63 hot side is cool but WILL spool later. Ive got full boost by 33-3500, and it pulls like a train til redline. With all the new upgrades, im sure it will be even more brutal. Its GREAT on the street. i thought about running the 63 hot side, but decided against it, besides the stage 3 wheel in a 57 trim spools PERFECTLY in my EXPERIENCE...ask fatty.... he was grabbingfor shit to hold onto when i took him for a ride in it the first time. LOL

Stock block at 10 psi on a conservative tune got me 260 whp/270 tq. Car has run 13.89 w/ shitty 60 foots (2.3s), subs, PS, A/C, im fat, full interior on 17s.

Motor had 140000 on it when i boosted it. Ive BEATEN it for 6-7 months and around 20000 miles. I got a coolant pushing sit. goin, so i pulled the head, and the motor (sleeves-valves-pistons) still look really good. Tossing in some ARP head studs, new HG, got my exhaust mani ceramic coated, designed and built a new downpipe (coated and wrapped). 3 bar MAP, and a new tranny (H-23 for the shorter 2nd -5th gears). Not to mention the DELTA cam (hopefully it will be done thursday). Retuning for 13-14 psi, looking for 300+ whp on conservative tune

Thats different from a d series. That guy is runnin a f series from what it sounds like. I you will not make that on a d series at 10 pounds. I run 10 on a 1.5 D and I make 207 and 195. My friend runs a f series and runs 7 pounds and makes 220 and 216. All of this is on a Stock Block.

460 on stock sleeves but built bottom end. For a cheaper setup for the sohc. Run the vitara pistons and scat rods. And good rings. and block guard. Ported and polished head. Your good for some good numbers. The rest depends on you. Turbo kit, injectors exhaust. All has life in your hp numbers. Good luck on your decision.

thats about all u need for a fast driveable daily

actually d series vtec stock heads are good for 400whp all day long. You could tear open a d16 throw in 150 vitara pistons a set of tuner toy rods or eagle and basic oem stuff and put down 400whp with ease with less then a grand in your motor. And it would be SAFE if tuned right! There's a shitload of d16's on H-T putting down over 400whp on stock sleeves with vitara pistons. 500whp range with cp's and je's on sotck sleeves.

220 - 230 is not pushing it on a stock d-series bottom end. whoever said that needs to keep quiet. i pushed mine to 300 before i built it. now im going for the 400 mark with pistons and rods and thats it.

and he doesnt make over 250whp till 6000+rpms. talk about LACK of a powerband. He would get WALKED on by a 250-260whp GSR with a t3 Super 60. He jumpes 250whp in 700rpm, all he is going to do is SPIN

TO the guy saying 300whp is easy on a stock motor, you are 1 of a million that had a motor stay together past 250whp on a stock D series bottom end.

Anyone LOCALLY that has made over 350whp BLOWS UP. They arent made to last. I only know what i have seen and tried.

Turbo D series on a stock block are good for 220-230 with VTEC and 180-200 NON VTEC. anything past that, be prepares to build or swap the motor withing MONTHS. IT WILL BLOW UP, you can have Jeff Evans tune it, it still wont last.

Your asking a 80whp-120whp motor to make double or triple what it came with from the factory.

It all depends on the tune, and how hard you run your car bro. If you baby your car boosted on stock internals, it will last awhile. I ran the bottle for a yr. then boost for a yr till my rings went. Like i said, it depends on the driver and the tuner.

i own both a b and a d. gsr's cost around 1200 for just the engine. i can build a d-series bottom end for 1000. i would much rather blow up a d-series and replace it than blow up a b-series.

not to thread jack but would a T3/T4 turbo b a good SOHC turbo? or will it not spoll up enough when the redline is about 6k?

09-30-2007, 05:10 PM
not to thread jack but would a T3/T4 turbo b a good SOHC turbo? or will it not spoll up enough when the redline is about 6k?DOHC or SOHC doesn't matter. And being a T3/T4 doesn't matter. What matters is the volume of air and exhaust pulses from the head and the turbo's exhaust turbine and exhaust housing.

Asking if a T3/T4 turbo will work on a SOHC engine is like asking if a Goodyear tire will fit on a Lexus. Maybe? It depends on what kind of Lexus you have and what the tire's width and sidewall is. The question is really too vague to give any meaningful or useful answer.

But it's very possible to match a smaller SOHC engine (since you are probably talking about a Honda) to the propper T3/T4 to make it both responsive on lower RPMs as well as produce good top-end. Things like head work, the engine's compression, and different cam specs will change what specific turbo or variation of a turbo will best suit the engine and your needs from the car.

You can now buy ball-bearing T3/T4 turbos instead of journal bearing which will shift the turbo's efficiency range to be more effective with low-end power. On the flip side they not only cost a lot more, but if the center section is damaged you'll probably be replacing the turbo or spending a lot of money getting it repaired. Journal bearing turbos are much cheaper/easier to rebuild. It's a trade-off. If you have the extra money then by all means go with a ball-bearing. I would also look into the Garrett ball-bearing GT-series turbos.

Here's a full weight full interrior 4 door eg that has 3 mods to the motor it's self that runs 11.2's and has less then 600 dollars in his motor. He dynoed 405whp and 314trq with a ebay t3/t4. Still running 3 years later!!

http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1719843&page=1
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1748160

Here's a hatch thats nearly stock with less then 4000 in the whole car that runs consitent 10.3's, not to mention it's been doing this for 3 years. Hows 471whp/356tq @ 29psi on 101 octane reving to 9100 sound? and this is not the highest power this car has made..not to mention he's also running a ebay t3 t4.

Here's a Friend of mines 500whp d16 hatch i talk to often on H-T that is DD with a/c and p/s still. Once again less then 2500 in his motor as well.
503whp and 345trq

ALL THOSE MOTORS HAVE STOCK SLEEVES AS WELL!

honestly i could make that kinda power with about 800 more in my setup for sleeves but i dont want that much. My EF will weighs around 1300-1500 without the motor so 500-550whp is more then enough.

i can build a d-series bottom end for 1000. i would much rather blow up a d-series and replace it than blow up a b-series.

Rota92's car is sick runs 9.1's I bought his old Head package from that setup.. with his RLZ Head he made 585whp. And to the fool who said not a bad way to spend 10 grand he actually has right at 5 in motor and stuff. :goodjob:


He did not run 9.1 he ran high more like 9.7s wich is still impressive,But nowhere near 9.1 theres only a few cars that have ran that and he wasnt one of them...

Just to clairfy it was a 9.85 @ 145 - SOHC
And the car also has wheelie bars and is a Hot Rod car, that means pure drag car!

My personal opinion, yeah you can get some horses out of a sohc. But you need to seriously build it before you boost it, and even then you run a high risk of blowing it. I would go with a b series, any b series. Yeah, it's a typical swap, but much more dependable, you can boost it stock and it'll last you. And if you build it first, and THEN turbo it, we are talking about some serious horsepower, so it all depends on your purpose, just a fun car, or maybe for racing sometimes, but either way, if you want to boost it,I would just do a b series swap
