i have no idea what either of those are. But my friend recommended i purchase a cold air intake to give me more horse power and better fuel milage.

Now i dont want to go spend a lot of money on this then find out i got the less ideal type. So what should i get a SHOC or a DHOC ?

Thanks,

it is a SOHC or DOHC....
if your getting a cold air intake then most of the time it really doesnt matter what engine you get it for....but it depends on what you have

 

so SHOC will work with my 96 neon?

 

if you have a SOHC motor....but either way, it should work

 

how do i tell what type i have

 

what year is your car????
a dohc will have a silverish aluminum intake manifold
a sohc will have a black aluminum or plastic intake manifold

 

CAI for the neon isn't affected by engine type (If you've got an ATX and an Iceman, you have to cut the tube)

In addition to intake manifold, your snorkel should say SOHC or DOHC on it. You may check your valve cover as well, or match it up based on the VIN. DOHC's usually have the bulge hood as well.

 

the 95's do not have the snorkel on it that say sohc or dohc....
none of the years will say on the valve cover....
alot of 95 sohc had a sport bulge hood

 

The Iceman intake is what you are looking for.

 

Check the 8th digit of your vin#. If it's a Y, then it's a DOHC. If it's a C, then it's a SOHC.
