Default Staying sohc....so what engine?

ok before you say go b series and what not... NO!

So my ? is which engine is the best drop in for me, right now im leanging twords the d15b, but i havent seen much people do this swap in eks, im not sure why, but there has to be a reason.

But there is also the d16z6 and d16y8... so what do you recommend?

JDM D15 LSD! So you lose .1 Liter, but you get an LSD tranny. You can always modify the block later.
