If you are going to build up a motor, Id say go with the good ole d16z6. Might be the cheapest and could be the most bestiest. <--is that a word?

i enjoy the DOHC part but was also wondering where all the parts like turbo manifolds can be found like ones with craftsmanship and good welds?

i would go with a zc single cam, because they are great for boost. a buddy of mine is running stock internals at around 9psi of boost. he has just shy of 225 wheel hp. his car only has full exhaust, ebay test pipe, injectors, and a intake manafold. it is a 91 civic si. if you have a b15b2 you are going to have to wire in two more injectors

I'll take a shot in the dark and say EF due to the D15B2ya but ive seen a6 in EG and other motors in random ass cars that they werent in stock...
IMO, get the sohc non vtec zc. straightforwanrd swap, no extra wiring besides mpfi, and they handle boost well.
im running 12 psi through mine with a .42/.48 t3

ive decided on the d16z6 since i have been searching and heard that they are great on boost....
i have also heard that the crower camshaft with it will make even greater gains
anyone here have anything good to say about the cam?
