if your gonna swap, might as swell swap in the "aftermarket-friendly" and beefier DOHC motor

In this case, DOHC is the way to go.. But that isnt always the case.. ie, Mercedes Benz (including tuner models, duh!) ..

It isn't...I'm :confused: too.

Get neither, get a second gen B16 ;) If I had the choice, I would probably go with the DOHC.

don't waste your time swaping something that isn't much better than what you allready have. if you go dohc non vtec (b18b) then I assume you would turbo it? otherwise go b16a (obd1)

depends where you live......

if you live in CA.......you cant pass emissions with a B20B/Z anyway so dont bother.
also, if you are in CA.........id go with the SOHC VTEC motor and slap on JG's turbo kit.......i think its received carb exempt #'s so, you should be good to go.

Hmmm...there's a B16A SiR, B16A SiR II, B16A2 and B16A3. First gen B16A is OBD-0, second gen is OBD-I, B16A2 is OBD-II, and B16A3 is OBD-I, sooo...which one are you referring to?
