There's allot of work involved to swap a b16. Are you gonna do the work yourself? Or have a place do it? If you're gonna drop a turbo anyway I'd go with the zc. Yo can get one for 600 bucks and drop it right in yourself. You have an hf so I'd try and find an si tranny. But the zc will bolt to your existing tranny.

Please do yourself a favor and stay away from the ZC!

well the ZC is a drop in motor. no need not to change anything. bt it only has 130 hp and 100tq. GO B16 and turbo that. or go B18c1.
