Re: Honda D16 SOHC engine interchangability

I don't think threre's any difference between man/auto engines,if your going to change engines it's definately worth putting in twin cam honda engine,a very easy swap...

Honda DOHC V SOHC Gearbox

I'm trying to find the ratio's for each gear on these two gearboxes also do they use a different diff ratio? is there a way of telling externally which gearbox is from which engine i.e dohc or sohc? any info appreciated.

Re: snapping driveshafts

I snapped a drivers side shaft last nite but this was in a banger race! i had a hard impact on passenger side but the drivers side broke,generally the shafts seem quite strong but i always carry a spare.I don't think rust would cause it,more so the forces twisting the shaft.
