    Cheaper to get Turbo or FS-ZE

    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 tails... check
      jdm bumper... check
      ms lip... check
      ms grill... check
      ms sideskirts... check
      ms rear skirts... check
      ms spoiler... check
      ms struts... check

      Still trying for a bp swap..:

        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.

            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

              corksport says approx 170HP for the FS-ZE. thanks everyone for your help.

                that's 170 at the crank, NOT the wheels...I said the 1.6 turbo DYNO'd at 160..the FS-ZE would be lucky to dyno at 135
