i'd go with the d16z6 only due to parts availability.
unless if you were going with a dohc, go jdm zc

The ZC comes as a SOHC, not just a dohc.

I think he knew that that's why he said JDM version(DOHC) and the OP said DM (SOHC) version. Please read carefully before you try to call someone out. You make yourself look ignorant!

Buying a ZC is retarded.

why not just spend a little extra and go B series. well worth it, plus if you ever want to sale the D series stuff....good luck! people these days are all about B series and if you search hard enough and arent in a rush you can usually find a good deal! thats just my 2 cents!
