Someone told me that the d15b7 which I currently have is no better than a ZC vtec so now im confused lol. I called a place in cali they said it would be $2400 for the complete swap of a b16a that included tranny ecu motor ect but, they are not sure how fast they can find all the pieces to be able to ship it here to their other wharehouse. So now im sorta stuck on what should I do... I want more power this engine is very slugish from 2nd-3rd for some reason.

if you have to choose outta the dual cam zc or a jdm single cam, get the single cam, like someone stated above there is a much broader aftermarket for the single cam, i have driven both and would choose the single anyway, but if you can save some more and get a b16

also you could get a LS swap for a little more than the single or zc but still be less than the b16, this might be the best option for you

Hey , get the sohc vtec ..... then down the road spend $1400 and get a brand new greddy 15g turbo kit , you will have less money in it and you will spank a swaped stock b series coupe or hatch , if you can drive decent. Get the single cam , it wont dissapoint you if your used to driving that 90 whp crap ass motor.

Single cam ZC is poo, at least that's what I have heard from people I have talked to. The DOHC ZC is quik on the bottle. Friend of mine had one in a EF hatch.. needless to say I stomped a Spyder on the interstate with ease.. then sprayed.
