The difference is about 10hp stock. If you go turbo, both have about the same potential.

no trying to be a smart a** but why not get the needed power steering and ac parts? if you plan on tracking the car its going to get banged up so should you really care about the bondo? but if you feel you must trade then go with the 90

how does a 93 have a twin cam swap? they didn't make anything else but a twin cam in 93, or are you saying the motors been replaced for another used twin cam?

dude did you read the post? he said an s14 motor was swapped in vs. being a s13 motor. yeah both are DOHC but its still a swap. ive been pounding down beers and i still caught that. makes me wonder about how smart kids are now days, do they even teach kids how to read now days?

omg, not one suggestion to trash the single cam. people actually like it? finally, i'm not alone lol.

op, definitely get the 90. that single cam will do everything you need it to. i've owned 3, blew one (my fault). they always served me well.

Single cams are plenty reliable. Good engine.

They're just underpowered.

I remember I had had my dohc chuki for about 2 years when I test drove a sohc piggy for a friend. I was so surprised to hear the tires scratch as I took off. It seemed to have been better maintained than my KA was at the time and felt a little more powerful than my dohc

I was like... Nearly perfect car on sell for $900 and my buddy was still too broke to get it. Ended up getting a Civic and becoming a Honda guy... I was so sad.
