Default B20B, D15B or ZC?

Well, I donnot have alot of money for the next few years that I will be able to spend on my civic, and it is a 94 so may get rid of it within the next two years anyways. I have been looking at some of my cheaper options where I live, and the three engines I can see myself getting into are a d15b series engine, a B20B engine, or a zc engine. What engine do you guys think would be the best bet in your opinion? I am familiar with each of these engines, but they seem to be around all the same hp. My car is a 94 cx hatch. Any help is appreciated thanks. P.S I would just like to get rid of the 85hp, lol. And the swap would remain NA and I would just put on quality h/i/e to sap a few more hp

I'd use a gsr transmission because the b16 ytansmissions are geared to low

no dont get a B16 tranny with the B20B. If you do, you will be revving at 4400 rpm at 80 mph. Get a GSR trans and youll be fine. The b20b is the best on that list for N/A. There are guys out there putting down 270whp N/A on a B20B-VTEC

The B20B has much more tq then the other egnines you are looking into. Its the way to go man B20B
