Can you explain to me the reason why an extra cam is better than having one do the same job? The only reason is the ability to tune overlap with an adjustable cam gear, which is not worth the price of a swap. Yes, the ports in a B series can flow more than a stock D series, but the FACT is most people with B swaps aren't even CLOSE to making the amount of power a D series head can flow.

took the words right out of my mouth. that was the exact same reason to keep it sohc in my 91 hatch

 

there are about 25 members on TR with b-series motors running 12's or less....did you have a point?

 

Only cause a bunch of people jumped on a bandwagon and didn't bother with a D Series.

 

This is a good arguement. I mean it seems like the sohc can produce the power with the right stuff. Yea the B series can too but its the price of the B series that sets you back, im with Ryan on this one... -Ben

 

i think it's just a " what i have is better and always will be" instead of it being what matters. i honestly think that a d series that has power is awesome b/c it's more rare that someone actually wants to put the time and money into it to out perform the b series. i'm all for the dohc if course but it's nice to see a fast sohc........just my .2

 

No...because not very many people have d-series that make enough power to run a 12 sec pass and when they do it breaks before they can get it to the track

 

its as nice to see a soch as it is to see windshield washer lights, alluminum high wings, and stickers....actually its the same thing.

 

A D series is no more likely to break when done PROPERLY, than a B series.

 

Why are you such an ass spoonfed? This is the second time I had to tell you how to spell SOHC. I happy to see that others are a little more open minded than you around here. Even if they are a fan of the DOHC like littlehatch, they understand the potential and cost benefit of the D.

You still down for that race? Nothing would please me more than to kick your ass with my D16.
