I'll scan the magazine article I have on the 'new wrx'. It's an interesting read. Says they looking at 160kw single turbo wrx 1.6L, and 200+kw out of the twin charged STI 1.6L. Not too bad in my books.....

If it comes down to a 200hp 1.6l turbo vs a 200hp 2.0l yamaha boxer, I'd have a hard time choosing . . .

Physics said it. When it comes to maximum performance, a stroked 2.0 > 2.0 > destroked 2.0 if all the supporting hardware is the same.
I asked nicely not to say economy. lol A MPG or two is hardly anything to brag about, and definitely not a reason to give up almost 25% of my engine's displacement. And a 1.6L block would be what, 5#s lighter? That's weight loss I can live without. There is no argument for a 1.6L over a 2.0L unless the 1.6L is a Rotary engine. |

I would be skeptical about it for a TRD and/or STi release in US. But it is for new WRX and STi as I said in another thread.

Are you aware of less piston speeds, less piston loads, higher engine efficiencies with short stroke ect? Are you aware that sports bikes are short stroke for better performance? |

Honestly, there's really no point trying to argue or persuade. He wants engine Tq and doesn't like engine Hp streetwise. Fair enough... But for the record, torque-less 2ZZ and I get along quite famously in both the low and high rpm ranges. |
