    Well after you bust your ass getting a turbo to fit that motor you'll either break the tranny, clutch, tranny again, axles, tranny again, etc.!

      The twin cams are ideal for turbo, they can take a beating. Without turbo, the engine has more hp and torque than a single cam. The twin cam has lash adjuster for the cams vs sohc if your cam followers go bad it gets expensive to replace all 16. Plus Dohc has alot more options to modify.

        I saw somewhere that someone has a turbo kit for the SOHC.

              I had a friend that had a boosted sohc he bought my wreked lx just for the engine and trannie. He was running a t3 with a standalone. He's whooped my ass plenty of times. Look up the member sohc 1.8t. He doesn't come on the site anymore but he has pics of his setup. You just have too look. From what I remember he was running a t3.custom manni,38mm waste gate,12.1 fmu and I can't remember what standalone. Imo do the swap. You'll be very happy with the dohc and g tranni.

                The Dohc is a better platform for boost. Just leave it at that!

                            Actually, Mazda calls the SOHC engine as the BP SOHC. We all call it the B8 because it's 8 valves instead of 16, and it's easier to distinguish B8 vs. BP SOHC.

                              "bp-01" is the single cam head .

                              Its cast right on the side of it.

                              It has 16 valves
