I guess it depends on what you are looking for... the ZC is a cheeper swap and it is lighter, the b16a1 is more powerful and more parts are availble for it...

B series motors are far better motors than the ZC. The ZC motor is basically them same as your stock motor, just with twin cams.

dude, just SEARCH!!!! This topic has been discussed way to many times!!!! I went through the whole b16a vs ZC thing. It all really comes down to you and what you want to do. Just do some research before getting head deep into something you probably dont know to much about. I personally went with the b16a1, but thats just me.

You can go with a DOHC ZC and a turbo for less money than the B16 and it will faster. It all comes down to how much money you want to spend.
