How about just use the D16Z6. It's just as good as any of those motors. Also, you don't want to go with the LSD in the SOHC if you plan on running very much boost. They've been known to self destruct around 140 whp.

wtf is a d16a ?

d15b's are great,
even if they are a 1.5,
that 1.5L is what gives them a beautiful rod/stroke ratio, so they can rev real free and smooth..

never heard of the d16a
but the 1.6 ZC vtec is real nice as well, not as good of a r/s ratio,
but it's got oodles of hp and tq
