You could, but it would still be slow. Probably like the stock si motor. But then after you got the si motor the kit would work, so you wouldn't have to build one, and your car would be faster while you were searching for the new motor.

But it may have a little bit more torque than the si, and thats about it. Remember the HF fuel system is pretty weak. I suppose you could build a turbokit for it, then later on transfer the parts over to your SI. Either way its going to blow. I would say, throw a set of 88-91si injectors in it and PM6 ecu (if it works) and boost 5psi and see what happens.

Man, you must have some serious time on your hands to waste it polishing turds.
HF = ---- performance motor.
HF + Turbo = ---- performance motor.
An Si longblock can be had for less than $300. Is it worth all that time invested to work on an HF?
C'mon people show some common sense.
