    i have a very serious question or all you EFfers. why the hell would you WANT to keep a SOHC? if you have the money to actually build a fast one, you probably have money for a LS or even a GSR swap, so why not? im not trying to bash, but i raced a <70k mile jdm d15 vtec in a EG hatch with i/h/e and raped with my 190k mile 1.6 with i/h/e.

    once again, im not trying to sound like a ****, but why build a weak motor into a strong one when you can just buy a strong one and make it even stronger?

    (wow i sound like a domestic v8 owner...)

    It's just a matter of what someone wants out of their car. Whether it be speed, looks, ''wow'' factor. Say someone wants more power than a d15b2 but doesn't want the gas mileage of a b18c. Why not put in the d16z6 or the like? Great gas mileage and a little more pep. Just an example, but it just comes down to what someone wants over what is fastest/cleanest/different. My .

    Bozzio for president.

    It really depends on your goals. If you're boosting, d-series motors are a good starting point. You will get better results boosting a b-series, but the money invested in the swap could be put toward the d-series. N/A they are not worth the time unless your name is Bisi LOL (some will argue tho).

    Also, you can't really compare an eg to an ef. EFs tend to be quicker with the same swaps due to being lighter.

    Its funny because I have seen single cams walk on gsr's. Believe it or not nonvtec d15 zc guy said it was just "rebuilt" YEA RITE!It was in a EF first ef I seen that inspired me.Gosh that thing was clean and for a single cam it halled a$$.Alot of people sleep on single cams, but with the right stuff they can be built to run with Bseries all day.JGE makes a 1.8L single cam that puts down like 220hp. Crazy huh Idk tho ,I guess same reason why VTEC guys say why Do nonvtec.Cuz they just feel like it and maybe wanna prove somthing.

    prove what? that with deep enough pockets you can make a slow car fast and still have a crappy motor? cool. people do that all the time.

    why are you trying to prove anything anyways? is it that hard to just not care what other people are gonna say?

    In that case everyone with a 4cylinder has crappy motors. Everyone does there own thing man alot of ppl like single cams.WHy?I dont kno really couldnt tell you.But hey thats there thing.So be it alot of people have stuff to prove if they say it or not.Who else would spend money on a single cam, if they didnt have somthing to prove.Or Maybe they Just wanted the Wow effect.To tell the truth I really dont give a sh*t.If its single cam or dohc if your fast .
