dohc zc vs. b16

[jdm_wannabe]

ok im getting ready to leave for automotive college in a few months. and i want to do a engine swap on my 90 dx. but i cant deside between a zc or a b16. i have head both sides, and read into both engines as much as a i could. but nothing is better then real people that have had these in their car and know the ups and downs of eather engine. i know the zc is cheaper, easyer, and makes more torque. but the b16 has more power and alot more aftermarket behind it. but hands down which is the better engine for this swap and why?

also i plan to fully rebuild whichever motor i get and turbo it.

i was unhappy with my b16 lowend it died and im doing a6 with boost now
i was faster then any ZC i raced
not like the zc ever got me outta the hole either so there torque i find not as good esp comparing gear ratios

b16 is a better motor

this thread should be closed before it turns into a 100page+ argument about which is faster.

oh its happen before

i also think the b16 is a way better engine
