Ask the vatos ( your neighbors) :P

i heard they roll with caddy's but in secret boost 240's

its more work than you think. not just a simple engine swap.

build the sohc

coming from a ka24de owner, its seems like way to much work for an extra 10hp. its a great engine though

Yea just stick with the sohc, like the guy said on top gaining 10hp isnt nothing. Just swap when the sohc goes out

When I was thinking about boosting the sohc. I found it really hard to find good parts for it. They do exist but compared to the selection and after market support for the dohc , the sohc fails.
