swap in an Si motor(sohc vtec 127hp)
dohc ZC is roughly around 130hp but these motors are old and not that reliable.
other's might say different(mainly cluster
) but majority of them will agree with me.
you're better off going with the Si motor if you're on a budget and want reliability. these motors can be had for very cheap as everyone is just throwing them away after a swap.
talk to KS-R as i'm sure he might have one for you. if not then just ask around.
if i were you though, i'd save my money. wait it out until you can afford a b16. because everyone knows those motors rock

OR you can go with the B18b (DOHC non VTEC), if budget is a concern.. I swapped my D16y7 with the B18b (I wanted B18C1 or B16a2 but more pricey), and there's more than enough power (went from 100+hp to 140+hp). And when you add some mods... even BETTA~!

Just shop around.. but like I said, if you're REALLY interested just email me:
mark-hao@rogers.com
I've done the shopping, I know a lot of things you'll need to know like the cpu you'll need, sensors (like O2 diff with auto and manny), harnesses and a lot and lot and lot of little things! Just be careful on who will do the whole job for you as well (can't stress that enough!!!)
I would be more than glad to help you guys out and share any info

Rough price.

Rough price.
So to avoid any headaches or dissappointment... the Si might be a simpler choice to go.. eventhough the price difference isn't all that great.
THe B16 is a different story... Just a whole new ball game.
