Just wondering if anyones done a zc dohc conversion on an eg sedan? Whats your thoughts on it and is it worth it? Does it pull much? Im getting offered a cheap ZC and am thinking of converting my d15b to the ZC.

the DX and LX modles with the D15b7 and the EX with the D16z6
none of the eg sedans [IN THE US] came with a zc or a b16

Only difference (appart from engine obviously) is that the EX (or VTi as they called it here) had the sunroof and drivers airbag which the Si missed out on.

Vtec and sunroof won it over for me when i was buying my sedan

the LX have power windows and mirrors
and EX is the top dog, sunroof, power everthin and has vtec

but if you want a SIR or a VTI you gotta build it unless ur lucky and find one
