swaping soon!!!
 

Hey i have the choice on getting either a 1.6 sohc vtec or a 1.6 dohc non-vtec what should i get? im leaning toward the dohc but i dont know which one i should get.

dohc all the way.

b16a2 1.6L

definately get that

DOHC

if your gonna swap, might as swell swap in the "aftermarket-friendly" and beefier DOHC motor

B20z:yes:

how is a DOHC engine any more "aftermarket friendly" than a SOHC???????????????????????????????

In this case, DOHC is the way to go.. But that isnt always the case.. ie, Mercedes Benz (including tuner models, duh!) ..

It isn't...I'm :confused: too.

Get neither, get a second gen B16 ;) If I had the choice, I would probably go with the DOHC.

whicever one is cheaper

don't waste your time swaping something that isn't much better than what you allready have. if you go dohc non vtec (b18b) then I assume you would turbo it? otherwise go b16a (obd1)

depends where you live......

if you live in CA.......you cant pass emissions with a B20B/Z anyway so dont bother.
also, if you are in CA.........id go with the SOHC VTEC motor and slap on JG's turbo kit.......i think its received carb exempt #'s so, you should be good to go.

Hmmm...there's a B16A SiR, B16A SiR II, B16A2 and B16A3. First gen B16A is OBD-0, second gen is OBD-I, B16A2 is OBD-II, and B16A3 is OBD-I, sooo...which one are you referring to?
