There are a couple 300 crank hp N/A EJ motors/cars running around out there...
This motor does 230+ chp with just an exhaust, fuel and a tune, which is pretty wild for us old school N/A Subaru guys who struggled to get to 200hp with the N/A EJ25's that never had tuning options and it was all about intake/exhaust/cams and thats about it.
I've been promoting the idea of running some sort of FA25 (FB25 block with FA20 heads, or something along those lines) Frankenstein build with this engine since before the car was even released. These kinds of builds have been around for years with the low budget Subaru crowd (early 90's gen 1 Imprezas running 1.8 or 2.2 motors could swap bits around and run 2.2 heads with 2.5 blocks and such). Hell, with my '70 Subaru I put together 1.3l heads with a 1.4l block...
Anyway, I can't wait to see more of this build
Curious what direction you are going with the intake manifold...
