No, it's totally different. 2wd bhp vs awd bhp. I need to look for thread on some dude change his Impreza Wagon into FR with stock NA engine and when he dyno it, hp & tq was higher.

So it's okay to use top model Honda engine vs low model Subaru engine? That's more like Apples to Oranges here. Bring the current low model AWD/4WD NA Honda i4 engine (in US) vs current low model AWD NA Subaru H4 engine (in US) and compare the hp/l & tq/l. That should be Apple to Apple.
