End cost would it be cheaper to get the 1.6L Turbo from WagnerMotorsports or to drop in the FS-ZE. Both would end up about the same power wise.

go with turbo. probably more torque.
i believe people were having a hard time finding the ecu's for the engine swap, therefor limiting the power potential of fs-ze.Almost there

jdm bumper... check
ms lip... check
ms grill... check
ms sideskirts... check

Still trying for a bp swap..:
Fidanzda 8lb flywheel, ACT HD00, UR Crank Pulley, UR Adj. Cam-Gears, Exh-Intake CamShaft Swap, MS Engine Mounts, Custom CAI, PaceSetter Header, 2.25" in/out-let Magnaflow Cat, 2.25" Mandrel-Bent Exhaust.

turbo and fs-ze making the same power? thats like apples and oranges, you cant compare a power plant to a power adder, the turbo has endless amounts of power that you can get from it, depending on how you set up your application, where-as the fs-ze will require more power adders to up its power, and i seriously doubt that the fs-ze will make as much power, or be any faster than a turbo application that is done correctly... and when/if you ever get into heavy modification, all the innerds that came with the fs-ze will become obselete and have to be replaced anyway, whereas the turbo if chosen correctly can be used forever...
i think you should go with the turbo btw lol...

you cant find the ecu from the fs-ze, so just pretend you never heard of it, just go turbo, and you will have plenty of power......HELLO MY NAME IS BEN...

The turbo is easily cheaper...your F-series tranny wouldnt even bolt up to a FS-ZE engine...way too much stuff required for the swap...and check out the numbers biknman put down on his on 6lbs of boost...dyno'd at like 160hp..I guarantee the FS-ZE even with the J-spec ecu doesnt dyno that high
