1.8 SOHC vs 1.8 DOHC
 

heres the story. im thinking about doing a 1.6 to 1.8 swap. i read all about the engine types on protege faq. my question is: if i dont get a 1.8 dohc, how sad do i have to be? is it much better than 1.8sohc (except that it is stronger)? i hope that you know what i mean
thanks

about a 20 hp difference. You didn't need me to tel you that, though.

i said that i know all about power. im intrested in fuel and oil consumption, maintance and stuff like that

Get the DOHC. No reason to get the SOHC.

Im not sure of the mpg on the dohc, but I have a sohc and it gets about 34mpg, the dohc cant be that bad tho, Im looking to do a swap soon to a GT-R modified j-spec from corksport soon. Id say go with the dohc, get more power out of it and ur not missing anything the single has.
