SOHC. The DOHC ZC is a great motor, but theres so much more support for the SOHCs (z6, y8, a6, etc) and I think you can't interchange as many parts to the ZC from other engines, whereas you can swap all kinds of parts between the SOHCs. Might be wrong about that tho.

go fast d-series

ok guys.
the rsn i ask is , cause i've a crx and i'm goin to do a d16 swap.
it has come with a d15 engine and on most of the forums i read that the d15's not compatible engines are.
thus by no means a performance engine.

No performance???? So the Bisimoto d15 powered crx had no performance??? It ran a high 9 second 1/4 mile before he went to the F motor.... I like the d15 better. IMO its reves quicker than the d16. But both of them are great motors to build from.

I guess it would be an ok idea to have 2 cams..... Just incase one breaks you have a spare...

whats the best d-serie engine.
the dohc or the sohc

This is a very broadsweeping question.
First of all, what do you mean by "best":
Best HP?
Best MPG?
Best $$$?
Best aftermarket support?
Best tuneability?
Best for boost?
Best smelling?

The point is, you should know what your goals and budget are before deciding on a motor.

im dohc right now but i have love for the sohc still, so i say sohc... :)

this dohc motor i have just seam's to be heavy, i really like the way it pull's and sounds but i know you can get alot of power from a boosted sohc... i might build my y8 and throw it back in one day...:alky:

I like the dohc blocks better, but the sohc heads give you more options

I love the DOHC but I would have to go with the SOHC. There is a lot more stuff for the SOHC.

Yo Dudes, I'll vote for the SOHC anyday. SOHC D-series, simply the best engine... simply amazing. Love the D anyday.

Wow a motor that does nothing until you've reached 5000 rpms. Wow.

why would you hate ona 500 hp d?

It's cool, but that's not going to be a car I'd like to drive with a peak like that. A lot of us here like to have a broader torque output than what is exhibited in that dyno chart.

Just not something I would enjoy driving every day :) I plan on sizing my turbo so I have power everywhere and not just at the top. a 500hp car may sell but if it's all up top who will enjoy driving it?
