I never said it couldn't be done, just that it has never been done.
And i never said you were incorrect in saying you could turbo the FS-ZE. I said that it would impractical and highly advised against. Corky Bell is an awesome source of information, but boosting a high compression engine requires some pretty extreme engine management and tuning. In fact i'm pretty sure it states that outright in his book on turbos.
It's like the same ole arguemnt...."It could be done!"
But the question is do you want to? You can put a jet turbine on the Mx6 also, but do you want to? By the same token, you can boost a 10:1 engine, but do you want to? The danger, the tuning, the engine management would drive you nuts. Imagine tuning a fuel map on a low compression engine, now multiply the difficulty level a few times and you have a high compression engine. Just to ward off knock and eventual detonation would require thousands in electronics, monitoring and manegement systems. I have seen turboed engines with compression as high as 12:1 and even more in drag engines. But they are super expensive and impracticla for anyone with a wallet of normal size.
And once again, like i have stated dozens of time if you would bother to read everything. If you wanted to rubot your better off sticking with the a-spec since it has lower compression pistons. Now nothing would stop you to get everything else but the pistons. But the FS-ZE itself was never meant to be boosted, heck look at the new mazda Protege with the 9.1:1 compression. And that is an FS series engine, which basically means Mazda believes that you shouldn't turbo an FS with anythign higer than 9.1:1 compression.
