You want to go fast? Everybodys concept of fast is different.

What power goals do you want? Budget? Turbo or NA? B or D? these are some questions you should be answering first.

I hope it has more power than my d16.

The auto kills the power. My brother has a OBD1 DOHC ZC Auto and the trans is horrible. The trans shifts at 6000rpm and kills the powerband. Other than that much better than the d15b7's he's had in it. I personally have a z6 and it's gutless compared to his car.
