I was woundering what motor would preform better in my 89 SI CRX. Right now it has the D16A6 and I have a ZC motor if I feel the need to swap it out. I have no idea what horse power differences are, or witch one can be built up bigger. Oh and the ZC motor is a 1.6L DOHC. Not sure what the numbers and letters for it is, cause on the block it just says ZC.

The A6 will be considerably slower. The difference is 130hp for the DOHC ZC and 108hp for the D16A6. You can build either of them but the D16 engines are going to have more of a selection when it comes to parts availability.
