Re: You spend 1700$ for me!
Is the reason you say boost because ZEX is cheaper, or because you don't like it? If I had 1000, I would buy a ZEX system, enterchangable, awesome power...But if I had 1700 I would buy a turbo.

sell current motor and buy a B16. you could pull off a swap for $1700:
motor/ trans/ ECU $1100
HCP mounts/ shift linkage $475
axles and rear integra mount adapter $150
if you sold your current motor you could pull it off.
$1700 is chunk change in a turbo setup, you still need a fully programmable engine management and a lot of tuning. set your car up the way it was supposed to be done from the factory: B16.

buy a brain! then learn to make decisions on your own!
Anyways my vote is for turbo...I have a ZC Turboed and it rocks even though the turbo isn't running proper (only 4psi)...plus why would anyone want the hassle of having to fill a bottle every so ofter...I dunno how muc hit cost where you live but here in Kamloops, BC (canada) it costs 88 bucks.....that is like 8 fills and you just paid for the difference to the turbo and with the turbo you have so much more potential....I read this somewhere can't remember where but I bet alot of ppl have seen it

12s is fast
however a 12 second turbo car isnt too impressive.... fast but im not that impressed
this gu yi know ran 13.60 stock block ZC in an CRX... so i know they could be 12 second allmotor engines in lightened CRX's however ..... the dohc ZC IMO is poop... id rather have a sohc instead of a non vtec 75mm bore dohc1.6
okay nawwzz is cool....race me in my cx.... you will be real cool
get all **** about your ZC hahaha
any motor has potential thats why i said 99% instead of saying ALL.... :ha

Boost and fuel management (Zdyne, J&S, fuel pump, and a DIY wideband kit).
Anyone voting for a B16A, have you ever looked at the power curve (as in torque). If you are building a drag race only car, sure, go ahead and get the B16A, then later add boost. There's a CRX here in CO making over 600hp with a boosted B16A.
If you plan to actually drive the car, don't waste your time or money on a B16A. The boosted ZC will be WAY more satisfying to drive.
Trust me. Look at my sig. Of those 4 cars, what do you think I drive the most? Here's a clue, both CRX's have comp. only and are sitting in the garage.
I don't hate the B16A, but I sure wish I'd gone with the bigger B to begin with. The B16A doesn't get out of it's own way until about 6500 RPM.
