Honda-Tech is all you need. Use the search feature and grab a coffee.

[hurleyint1386]

[crxnj]

Just ask your questions all in this one thread..Of course search first but if you cant find an answer just ask..

[hurleyint1386]

[hurleyint1386]

what's the difference between SOHC and DOHC?

[2point2]

you can use google and http://www.howstuffworks.com for general questions about engines.

[x_outlaw_x]

single overhead cam and dual overhead cam, sohc doesnt tend to make as much power as dohc

[Mr_Si-R]

You have a lot of questions and have been here since 2004? Not to be mean, but where have you been?

[BuddhistPriest87]

I recently replaced my USDM D16 in my Si with a JDM ZC, so does this mean i have added horsepower? I see what the chart says, but I just wanted to check and see. Thanks.

Someone said that HF means like Holley fuel or something like that...it ACTUALLY means "Highway Friendly"...
