Ok take this into perspective.

Only ONE person has ever been able toget an FS-ZE running and it blew up on him in a few months. Now considering that he took it out in a few months due to problems. And the guy had support from about 6 major sponsors and a few garages. ANd since, i have not seen, heard of, or even smell any FS-ZE stateside.

Please people, I am talking about the 2.0 FS-ZE here, i never said it wasn't possible, i do however say that it is very hard. You would have a pain of a time just getting the FS-ZE to run right let alone trying to turbo it and have proper engine management. It's NOT ABOUT CR that is holding anyone back, it's the sheer fact that it's really hard just to get the FS-ZE working right let alone turboing it. In fact call up Corksport and ask them if they would install it for you and guarantee that it'll work right. They might, but even they, one of the largest importer of FS and KL engines HAVE NEVER completed an FS-ZE swap into any platform in this country. Now i would think that they have alot of resources, but they haven't. And yes it is next to impossible without the wiring harnesses and ECU to get it to run right. Sure it can be made to run, but would you be willing to invest that much?

And it is very hard and will be exorbitantly expensive...FOR AN FS-ZE.

Have you ever seen an FS-ZE running? Let alone an FS-ZE with a turbo? It's not about CR, but the compatibility and engine management issues inherent with the turboing of an FS-ZE.

I think i'll have to remind people that this post is about the I4 (FS-03(KD???)) and the FS-ZE, not some other engine.

And once again, why would you want to turbo a 10:1 engine and only able to run 5psi? Why not build up the 03 and have it run 9psi+???? People are impossibly hard headed, saying things like lowering the compression ratio and preventing detonation with water injection. Well why don't you just use the LOWER COMPRESSION engine????? WHy would any of you argue about turboing the FS-ZE when there's really no point since an FS-03 will make more power at lower costs. Heck it is in the beginning of this post, Stage 7 or something, i forgot.
