This is my debate right now.
Either mildly build my f22a (sohc, 8.1:1 c/r, 135hp, non-vtec) for boost or buy a jdm f22b (dohc, 9.1:1 c/r, 160hp, non-vtec)and boost that.
Will the dohc make that much of a difference? Should I throw out the sohc and boost a stock dohc?
Im lost out here guys any opinions or guidance would be great, thanks!

dohc of course!

 

I would think that right off the bat the 25 extra hp wouldn't weigh out against the extra weight of the dohc, but you have to look at long term potential, and since I think the accord is a family car, I have no clue. Ha Ha.

 

thats funny that you think DOHC engine weight will acually make a noticable difference. an slightly bigger head and extra cam woo wooo

 

----, just the other day I went to the store and got the "KING SIZE" kit kat bar, and I noticed the difference in performance. Sorry to use your own mentality Random, but "it's a honda"

 

get the DOHC if you want to build for serious power. there is more tuning ability/potential in the DOHC. btw...im almost positive that any F series motor is going to be SOHC...you might be thinking of the h23, which is a 160hp DOHC non-vtec...

 

lol...

 

there is also a dohc nonvtec version of the f22b. ive seen them with my own two eyez
