No, the SOHC is a great motor to turbo. Parts are dirt cheap, easy to find, and the motor is incredibly easy to work on. You don't have to pull the cam to pull the head off, for instance!
Only downside is that is popularity is not quite booming like the DOHCs and the JDM motors, so finding things like manifolds and such can be tricky.
I plan on picking up a port and polished head with ~3k miles on it. The stock head can take boost no problem, don't need to upgrade the springs or anything. But with the P&P it should be good for some decent flow.
The block will be treated to some machine work to make sure everything is sound, and the pistons and rods will be replaced using all ARP hardware and new bearings. Will be replacing the oil pump, too
I can't wait. But, I still have some bills to pay before I can start putting these dreams on paper.
But think about it, for about the price of an SR motor set, you can make MORE power (and much more torque) than a stock SR without having to swap a damn thing. Plus if something breaks, your local dealership or parts store will most likely carry it, because the motor was actually used here KA-T FTW!!
