if you want cheap power, ZC. It's about 450 plus shipping (or less if you find one in your area) and it gets 130 horses, and it takes much better to turbo than a stock dx engine. You'd probably get this advice from anybody. Not to mention that homemadeturbo.com provides extensive documentation on the project.

Doesn't exist. However, try a D16Z6; they come as late as 95 in the del sols and civic ex/si's. Not to mention that they're vtec. Or, you could just grab the head and have a mini-me

Don't be afraid to buy an older Honda engine. They don't die unless you kill them.

Relevance is irrelevant
and yeah the Z6 should push that little thing around just fine. It moves my ex well enough on surface streets. I don't know about on the highway though.
