His motor can just take more abuse than this one, they should make the same power on a turbo set up.. BUT his you could say, throw a 200 shot of nitrous on lol

The sleeves and internals are fine, the subaru engine design is the limiting factor. But we havent been too crazy with subarus yet in the USA.
And Alex, Im trying to convince Ron we need a new shop car. We have a 2.5 RS shell... 02 body style just sitting there waiting for parts.
I want to put in a closed deck & sleeved 2.4 (same as in your car). Lil built 5 speed tranny, etc etc... BUT it will be right hand drive

Hehe,
You should build a GF8 wagon with your pimp motor and 6MT.
The car will weight in at about 2400lbs if you strip it.
That car will fly. And, you can fly with 4 dogs in the back.

Hey mike what do you know about the cranks you guys are using? DO you guys treat them anyhow? Are they up to the task of high hp levels from the factory? And have you machined any of them down to balance and lighten them at all?
Just curious, as well has anyone bothered to build a billet crank yet?

Also, Pauter makes a billet crank... However, its quite pricey.
