Default Potential of ZC motor?

In the future I am going to buy a hatchback and was wondering the potential of a ZC motor. What kind of tranny is a ZC motor combatible with? Can you just use the stock tranny on a civic? I know there was a guy here with a Crx with a ZC running 13's. I know that ZC motors are alot cheaper than a B16. Also are ZC motors good for turbo?

the zc works with most d-series parts, and yes it will work with the civic trannies. i think the ZC's have good potential. but like any motor build up, the setup has to be planned out well.

How does a ZC respond to turbo? So when buying a turbo kit it would need D series turbo parts? This seems like the cheapest way to go. What car would be the easiest to swap a ZC in? I know its alot of question but im trying to find the cheapest way to be fast.

For the HF's do you need a new tranny or can you use the stock one?
