I would have to say get the DOHC..i have seen more of it in our cars..assuming you have a civic HB or a CRX. I'd look around in the forsale adds on here if you can, but if not check out http://www.crxsi.com or http://www.hmotorsonline.com those are just a few off the top of my head.

I would go with the DOHC. More tuning capabilities, and it is becoming a very popular engine (more aftermarket support) everyday.

Also, over here, in Europe and Oceania, it's common in many civics. It's a reliable, stout and strong engine.

Me and some friends just finished turbocharging a DOHC ZC last week(His name in HT is Blindstuff). We haven't taken it to the dyno or track yet, but the car (92 Civic Si sedan) pulls strong, and we hadn't had any trouble until now. I would say 10 psi are possible on a stock DOHC ZC. Notice I said "possible", not recommended.

i ordered a DOHC from Hmotors a few days ago. it should be here any time. i paid 670 shipped to mesa. the swap is extreamly easy so ive heard. everything bolts up fine. no having to worry about Vtec wiring or anything. you can use alot of stuff off a Si. those are the reasons i got mine. ill let you know how i like it when its here and in the car. im guessing like 3 or 4 days and it will be here.
