i think so too but why downgrade? why not save up for a b series and get more power and potential?

Yeah, there aren't many upgrades available for the dohc zc engine, and it only has 130hp. Where the D16Z6 ('92-'95 Si & EX engine) has 125hp, the D16Y8 ('96-'00 EX) has 127hp, and the jdm D15B has 130hp. And all of those have plenty of aftermarket parts available for them.

Most upgrades are interchangable for those engines

if your going to get the zc, then, dont waste your time. go pick up a z6 or y8 instead. if you are new to the swap world, the z6 would be easier of a swap for you.
otherwise, look into a different b motor.
