I'm with Fish Eagle on this one - the question is not whether it can be done - any platform can be made to produce stupid amounts of power (as an example, a Greek shop CNC'd large parts of an Evo engine from titanium. Made stupid amounts of power, > 1400whp. Cost a stupid amount too).

On that article, bs - those articles are dime a dozen. And the fact that the new released facts from Subaru on the STI's reveals that they will be the 2.0DI engine - I believe it is finally the end of the line for EJ257.

Understand this truth about high power modification. Power, Cost, Reliability. Pick two. And when you exceed stock power massively, you might as well forget about the last one. I speak from experience here running a 320wkw STI, soon to be 450wkw plus - at those power levels, the car moves well beyond a daily driver.

On Crawford, meh. Quirt talks a good game, and yes they do build great engines (on the whole) - but there are other shops, especially in the States, that will do as good or better a job, that will cost significantly less. You're paying heavily for brand.
