Default is building a d16a6 worth it?

i've been having trouble figureing out what i want to do. i want to build an all motor d16a6 with nippon zc pistons to raise compression i also want to bore it .20-.40, not sure which one, i would also eventually rebuild the a6 head or do a mini me swap. my other opinion is just getting a dohc zc. im kinda worried that i am going to be disappointed with the power i will make from the a6 for how much money it will cost to rebuild. i dont have a lot of money to throw around so i am trying to get the most for my money. if someone could give me some suggestion or opinions that would be great thanx

i don't recomment doing anything to your sohc. you should save your money and get a swap. even if you bore it out and you put some bolt ons; you probably wont even keep up compared to a crx with a B18...

very wrong to say, I have see GSR's loose to SOHC! But B-series or K-series power built up will destroy a built sohc for sure... sorry to say but I would go b-series for sure if you were going to spend a **** load of money on a motor. B16a or b18a is a great place to start
