It has 2.0 petrol SOHC engine. Do you know it is this engine good, how much performance(HP) it is reliable? I will appreciate your help:) Cheers Re: Hi :) [Re: simocorex] #850883 12/08/07 05:57 PM Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,396 Utah DennisThompson Body Damage is Cool Mine is the DOHC but my brother had a SOHC and he was very happy with it. I drove it and I could tell the differance but it wasn't that much. The good thing about yours is if you ever want to turbo it the Ford Probe exhaust manifold is a direct bolt on, you would just have to turn the turbo some to clear the motor mount. When my brother had an exhaust leak I used one of my boys extra gasket to fix it. With an 2 1/4" high flow exhaust and an open air filter you could squeeze a little more power out fo your stock engine though. Hope that helps, Dennis 95 Sportage, gone but not forgotten. 98 Jeep TJ, 4" Zone springs with RC Long arms, Ford 8.8", 4.56 gears & Detroit locker rear, D30, 4.56 & Detroit Trutrack front.

I see some data and torque is prety close only full HP is different. Thanks a lot Re: Hi :) [Re: simocorex] #850885 12/10/07 04:56 AM Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,396 Utah DennisThompson Body Damage is Cool Mine was a little quicker off the line even with my 31" tires, I think it's because the DOHC revs a little easeir. I think gas mileage was about the same. The SOHC has a lower 1st and 2nd gear to help it get moveing but once up to speed I think they are about the same.
