The fastest all motor Honda is the L'Natural CRX, running a 2500cc H22, making 250whp. The ballsiest B series motors I know of are making 240 (CR-VTEC), 225 (B18C), and 185 (B16A). 3-400 out 1.6L, SOHC? No way. I think it would be extremely difficult to break 150, maybe 175 whp, all motor. No one's ever tried, pretty much because it's a waste of time and money.

For the same price as a fairly comprehensive SOHC build (rods, pistons, cam, crank and head work, valvetrain, and labor), you could swap a B18C, and have more power for the same coin. On top of that, the B18C is going to have TONS more potential.

For the same amount of money you can have a better motor with lots of potential, rather than a mediocre motor that is pretty much maxed out.

I never said all motor
