WTF is that supposed to mean??? Take your head out of your ass before you post. The man asked for opinion, and I gave it. So hows about you try and stay on topic....thanks

And your little equation doesnt alwasy ring true there proffessor. Honda motors are incredibly efficient. There is absolutely no reason to port something thats already running at an optimum level. If you want to increase efficiency, you do it with proper fuel management and other things that compliment the engine, not change it.


As far as Zc's I do agree on having some maintenence items serviced before using the motor, ie timing belt, head gasket etc.... I was fortunate to get one straight from japan, so there was no worry about it being abused here in the states. And I found the swap to be quite impressive, especially one that costs $3000 less than the b16.

My reason for getting a zc was because I wanted to build an ef3. This negates the possibility of having a b motor.

The Zc is a very reliable, and very verile powerplant. It just doesnt have the aftermarket support in this country, as opposed to the b16. I love my zc, and would choose it over a b motor. No one ever said building a car should be easy, if it was....everyone would do it.
