What is the difference between the two, other than the obvious extra cam. Like horsepower, torque, etc.?

View Full Version : SOHC or DOHC '98 Saturn SC2 01-05-2012, 09:56 PM What is the difference between the two, other than the obvious extra cam. Like horsepower, torque, etc.? Octavious 01-05-2012, 10:22 PM Theres roughly a 25 HP difference between the two and 15 Ft-lbs of tourqe. Twin cams are the better motor to mod up - If you do it to a single cam youll probably make the same power as a stock twin cam. read up bro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_I4_engine) '98 Saturn SC2 01-05-2012, 10:25 PM Okay cool. Roughly how much horsepower/torque does the DOHC make? uncljohn 01-05-2012, 11:27 PM SC1 = 100hp Sc2 = 124 hp RjION 01-11-2012, 10:02 AM SOHC 114 ft lbs DOHC 122 ft lbs 91-94 SOHC 85 hp 107 ft lbs of torque. '98 Saturn SC2 01-14-2012, 12:12 AM Do any of you know how much hp/ft-lbs will be added if I put a short ram intake in my car? Like a guestimate? uncljohn 01-14-2012, 03:18 AM Short ram manifold benefits? Guestimate. Arguably none, although the general consensence seems to be that there is a small measurable improvement on H.P. based on consistant drag strip performance and a fuel economy imporvement has been reported. Small in both cases but consistant. So my guess on S series Saturns is a questionable 2%. But in some cases, the coolness factor has to be taken into consideration and that is quite high it seems. '98 Saturn SC2 01-14-2012, 07:03 AM What about a cold air intake? Is it basically the same as short ram, just mounted differently? Octavious 01-15-2012, 08:25 PM No - short ram acts like a warm air intake really, since the filter is just in the open. A cold air intake (If i am correct) is longer and the filter is placed lower into the front right corner of the engine compartment, getting closer to the actual cold air. Both do fine (I use the short ram) '98 Saturn SC2 01-16-2012, 03:59 AM Okay. I'll just do short ram. Easier for me. gcthrasher 01-24-2012, 06:38 PM I put a true cold air intake on an eclipse I used to own, and by true I mean it was long enough to put the filter down to the front bumper (sucked to drive in the rain until I fabricated a splash gaurd) and it didn't really do much more than the average short ram...which is what I have on my SW now. Hope this helped... OceanArcher 01-27-2012, 08:34 AM GCThrasher -- Low-riding air intakes and Mississippi monsoones do not play well together - that's why the intake systems on my Saturns are still stock...... gcthrasher 01-28-2012, 10:39 AM Ocean...I will NEVER make the same mistake with a daily driver again...that was definitely a lesson learned..haha. It really sucked (literally as well as figuratively) |
