It says the ZC DOHC for 650, isnt that close if not to the same engine as my friend has??

Also, would I just be better off staying with my stock and buying better parts for it, or is an engine swap a huge difference in my car?

PS you guys know more about my car then I do, thx for the help!

I think you got the shitty dual point motor, you'd be better off with a ZC. I bet your transmission is geared really tall too, I'd look for an Si unit.

It depends on your definition of "close."

Anyway, the blacktop ZC is still a better choice.

It looks like your car has a D16A6 already, so a ZC swap will be a peice of cake.

To the right people, a D16A6 can go up to about $350 in excellent condition.
