I think the D16A6 is underrated nowadays. Everybody is too anxious to swap their engine . . .

Of course that's MHO.

A little part of me wishes I would have stayed with my ZC, maybe it's because the kid that owns it now can almost keep up with me. That thing would have been nice with a turbo, but it's going to be a lot nicer having the B16 Turbo.

Same here a6 for now...ZC if I need a new engine anytime soon..Id rather build the d16a6 but arias pistons are like $400 bux..then $300 for a crane cam..and other parts..make the d16a6 to expensive for me to build..it is a good engine IMO

sohc zc vtec baby

rare motor...

i have it because it came with the car i like it. i pulled on a friends car that had a usdm d16z6 running the same everything as me, except it was in a crx. he was stripped, and i was full interior with my system. i got a bout a half car from 3rd to 4th gear (freeway pull)

my motor pulls pretty strong for how much oil it burns lol

i've got a 4 year old ZC swap.

i've had a multi-point 1.5, the ZC, then a B20 VTEC. and the ZC was/is by far, my favorite.
