Message: <blockquote data-quote="Big[V]" data-source="post: 4113946" data-attributes="member: 31224">Looking for me? lolAnyway was browsing around seems we do have some SOHC VTEC lovers here haha.Though I haven't swapped to manual yet but I've been doing some background research on this for some time. But basically it boils down to this:1. Manual swap + VAFC + tuning + other mods might cost roughly 4K. With that you're looking around no more than 150ps. That's around 100ps/l and to me it's an acceptable level for that little 4 banger. 2. VTEC at 5100-5200rpms feels ok to me. 3. If want to go beyond 100ps/l, stock motor may not withstand that kind of stress especially pushing close to 200ps. Looking for 200ps again is another whole different ball park. Either a hardcore rebuild like Bisimoto or turbo it.There's a Japanese guy whom turboed his 3 stage VTEC CVT close to 200ps + VAFC + tuning and strangely enough he said that Honda Japan advised the CVT can take 200ps! He's using bone stock motor and STOCK injectors. Owner also says it gives the Altezza with 6mt 3S motor a run for it's money lol.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce3KR3dBVo04. If you are maintaining stock rev limit i.e. 7200rpms, EG S20 manual gearbox is ok. Compared to 7200rpms with EG gearbox and 8200rpms for B16A 4.4 FD gearbox is almost the same scale wise. i.e. D15B 2nd gear @ 7200rpms = B16A 2nd gear @ 8200rpms = close to 100km/h5. An interesting mod is to swap a D16 block with 3 stage VTEC head and actually that motor exists. It's called D16W8 and only available in the Philipines. Same 130ps but better low end torque.Still SOHC VTEC pound for pound will never beat DOHC VTEC as to least, both are for totally different reasons. Even if you could, cost of doing so would obviously surpass swapping a DOHC VTEC. But for whatever it is worth, it's not a bad motor to have fun with. Just dun challenge taiko DOHC VTEC la. <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" /></blockquote>
