generally speaking -


The maintenance schedule is exactly the same. Repairs are exactly the same.
Only difference is when there is valve train specific parts to be fixed/replaced - as the SOHC has only ONE camshaft where the DOHC has TWO.

If you look after either engine then there shouldn't really be much of a difference at all.

[bennjamin]

Does the fact that it only has one camshaft make a difference in terms of power to weight ratio compared to DOHC? Or do DOHC engines just out-perform SOHC engines hands down?

SOHC vs DOHC , of the same capacity are generally a touch heavier ( say the weight of the extra camshaft itself ). DOHC engines generally will out perform a same capacity SOHC hands down in all aspects.

DOHC out perform as Ben said. Also they have much better responsiveness to modifications. Getting power out of a SOHC engine is like drawing blood out of a stone by comparison to the DOHC.

No it doesn't. i-VTEC is basically Honda's new version of VTEC.

The 'i' literally stands for 'intelligent'-VTEC.


Because it's more fuel efficient, etc etc the usual stuff.

[Bludger]

go do some research, please stop asking random questions.

[dougie_504]

Okay dude, VTEC came first. So VVTI changes all the cam stuff like VTEC, not the other way lol.

And it looks to me like you need to do research on the difference between SOHC and DOHC, not VTEC/I-VTEC/VVTI. Google it or something.

[Bludger]

did you need to research that?

a quick look under the bonnet would be just as effective but a lot quicker.

Accord motor.

very un-inspiring, but fulfils its purpose.

I dont think theres anything inherently wrong with that engine just its not performance orientated

As the engineer above says it does fine for a heavier sedan for the daily grind and with reasonable economy :)

f22b is perfect for boost at 8.8:1, the compression is lower than d-series an b-series, but in terms of modding in aust, NONE in existence lol, i hear u can do Frankenstein swap with a h22a as well

[dougie_504]

If I had an older accord I'd prefer to do a h22 swap rather than mess around with the stock engine lol
