i have friends with both setups... the b20 is actually faster. Might be a fluke, didn't do labor on either one.

well, a b20 can be had for like 800 and then you've goota get mounts, shift linkage, wiring,.... so it might not be the bet budget wise. But its as simple as this, you spend a little extra money on the b20 you can still turbo it later. But you will have nowhere to go if you turbo the zc.

Starting off with a better platform is the way to go.. A B20 has lots of torque.. it maybe a bit spendy, but in the long run its better.. Then when you save some cash just turbo that, or slap on a vtec head.

I would defintly go B20 over the ZCturbo any day.
B20 hands down...doesn't matter which way you go about it(all-motor,turbo,supercharge, nos...even stock)
