You've lost me now, dude.....

 

thats the info i got from a site about 4 door dodge neon sport

 

Cool. Now check "Allpar" at Google...

 

I would definetely prefer to have a DOHC...but my car came with SOHC. I"m not at all dissapointed though by the performance. Runs awesome. Very peppy!!! love it.. Right now i am getting about 132hp...i can only imagine how the DOHC must run!!!!

 

The DOHC is rated at 150 hp. Dodge recommends running higer octane gas in it as well. Everyone was correct in saying there are far more mods for it. Oh and here's some fun info for you:

"The 2.0 litre, DOHC engine is standard in the ACR Coupe, Sport, and the R/T. It was standard, but often deleted for credit, in the '95/'96 m/y Sport Coupe. Due to a shortage of SOHC engines caused by the introduction of the Plymouth Breeze, many Neons which would have shipped with the SOHC were given a free 'upgrade' to the DOHC. Also see the Neon Models section for availability of this engine.
The DOHC engine, both head and block, has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, except for minor improvements to the wiring harness.
DOHC Engine Specifics HP Peak: 150 hp @ 6500 rpm
Torque Peak: 133 ft/lb @ 5600 rpm
Redline: 7000 rpm
Rev Limiter: 7250 rpm
Compression: 9.6 to 1
Bore x Stroke: 3.44 in x 3.27 in
Recommended Gas: 92 octane "

 

All of the 2.0L's are 16 valve, both SOHC & DOHC. Here is the easiest way to tell if you have a DOHC. Does your Neon have a flat hood or does it have a bulge in the hood on the passenger side? All DOHC Neon's have the bulged in the hood to clear the DOHC cam gears and timing belt. Is your intake manifold aluminum(silver/grey in color) or plastic(black)? All DOHC intakes are aluminum and all SOHC intakes are plastic. Here is a picture of a 2.0L DOHC engine, it is my '99 R/T, and all Neon DOHC engines have this intake manifold and valve/cam cover.
